I never really understood how he felt in this scene until tonight

Guy Fawkes' signature before & after saying on Bluesky that he lets his cat go outside

Bluesky’s really fun, I think you’d like it.

This is awesome, China's Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter sent back images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Repurposed the camera designed to take photos of the bright surface of Mars. Even a gif showing it move across the sky! www.iflscience.com/chinese-spac...

horrible, targeted neglect of The Forgotten Arm in this list. A personal attack on the album which happened to come out when I was 16. evil, even.

A voice that still carries: Aimee Mann’s greatest songs – ranked!

I know how they got to that point. Because we’re a few steps behind, living through the “getting to that point” right now in the UK.

got a new system for finding little science stories to write about (noting down the questions my kids ask me at around 6 fucking a.m.)

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

Sadako crawling out of your tv, turning motion smoothing off, then crawling back in

Road to Wigan Pier is a rant of a book. But it goes so hard on why it’s evil to begrudge the poorest simple pleasures.

All the concerted effort between now and the next election should be to ensure progressive parties such as the greens and others are front and centre of the fight against reform and canning this least bad option nonsense

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Obvs this is just a (very interesting!) comet, but do you reckon humans would cool our collective tits if it turned out some advanced alien civilization were watching us, or would we just carry on as is like monkeys flinging shit at each other in a zoo

Scientists Studied The Infamous "Chicago Rat Hole" And They Have Some Bad News www.iflscience.com/scientists-s...

Just glad Splatatouille's family can finally have some closure x

a skull full of soup.

We should never have written stories down, stories are meant to be told to us by a very old man over a flagon of mead by a roaring fire

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech” After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls” And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

This is such a good point. I can't afford £100 for a covid booster. I could and would cheerfully pay £15 for one as I do flu. I also don't understand why so many aren't eligible for an NHS booster this year considering it didn't miraculously stop being covid over the summer

You can't stick out your chin and say "polls at this point mean nothing" when people post Labour polling at 17% if you were clucking, gloating, throwing up at Labour polling at 27% in early 2017, bucko.

You know what, it’s one of those days, have Cookie Monster kaiju again.

Can only speak for myself, but think I'm not unusual, by the time you see a GP about mental health issues, you are at crisis point - finding it hard to get out of bed, eat, speak to anyone, deal with finances etc - but sure, tell me about the jobs I can apply for at that moment.

This Prime Day, did you know my wonderful, supportive indie publishers sell ebooks of their titles direct? And that you always get a great deal on them because no space bothering billionaire gets a cut? farragobooks.com

Please help Nurse Hammam if you can! tinyurl.com/nursehammam

It is awful to wake up to posts like this, but much worse to have to try to survive under a genocide that's maiming and killing children like Nour, please help if you can: gofund.me/982fcaf79

Got to chat with Oliver Witasse at @esa.int about the upcoming JUICE observations of our lovely interstellar interloper!

Jupiter-Bound Mission To Snap Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: "This Campaign Was Unexpected For Everybody" 🔭 www.iflscience.com/jupiter-boun...

This website would genuinely be so much better if there was a special Discover tab for Americans that only show them posts by other Americans so the rest of us stop getting aggro from their most brain fried centrists who seem genuinely bewildered by context and angry that other places exist

Israeli's kidnapped: cutting off the water supply for a whole population seems reasonable Brits kidnapped: have we thought about letting nature take its course

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

We *may* have the first ever images of an interstellar object, taken from the surface of another world! www.iflscience.com/interstellar...

NGL it works great with the Sopranos theme.

Those are Holstein Friesians. Foreign cows. EU cows even. NOT ENGLISH.

what the fuck are we even doing man

Starmer on Kuenssberg was defending that old story about buying a field for his mum so she could see her rescue donkeys and I've never mocked that coz it's a nothingburger and I like donkeys too. But he said "WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 20 GRAND HERE HA HA" like that's nothing. WHAT a terrible look m8.

Keir Starmer comments about Reform are no more sincere than Wes Streeting saying trans people should be treated with 'respect and dignity'. They are words meant for Labour supporters who don't really care about either 'issue' but want some nice things to point to. Their actions tell you everything

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

BEHOLD! My first ever choose-your-own-adventure game! "i will strangle a horse" - over seven and a half thousand words of absolute nonsense, as you help Martin Jenkins on his first day at The Farm. brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran... Totally free to play! I mean, you can pay, but you can also not!

If you (somehow) missed it yesterday I have made my first ever game! It is called "i will strangle a horse", and is a comedy choose your own adventure game with over 7660 words of hot nonsense, and is free to play! brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran... Will YOU strangle a horse?

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Musk called a rescue worker a “pedo guy” because he wouldn’t let his team rescue some kids stuck in a cave if you’re wondering what the threshold is

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.
