Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Things like this remind me how I love science. At school we reproduced science experiments like this and it made me realise how anyone can check and confirm by experiment.

This weekend I visited The Herschel Museum of Astronomy in Bath: a small but perfectly formed museum in the building where he discovered Uranus. What I did not know is that he discovered infrared; if I had known, I still would not have expected to see the actual device he used!

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

Sheela na Gig are strange gargoyle like ornaments that adorn castles and cathedrals all over Europe. Depicting a woman with a stretched and overly large vulva or labia, the carvings held evil at bay, keeping demons and evil spirits from entering these places. #WyrdWednesday

Marvellous Minoan pottery created by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

This is Minoan clay model of a house. Initially thought to be a child’s toy, it’s now seen as a construction model for a real house. Its architectural motifs are typical for the middle Minoan period when the palace complexes were at their height. 🕰️1,900-1,700 BC 🏛️📷 Heraklion Archaeological Museum

WE ALREADY HAD A FUCKING NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN WITHOUT A SINGLE BOMB DROPPED OR SCHOOLGIRL OR SERVICE MEMBER KILLED AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS ALREADY OPEN. In case anyone needs a reminder that any deal that emerges isn’t a laudable victory; it’s a costly repair of self- inflicted damage.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Pakistan's name in its official script is written without the short i like so Pākstān پاکستان. The name is made of the names of its initial provinces. P - Punjab A - Afghania (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) K - Kashmir S - Sindh + stan from Balochistan. Pāk is not an ethnic group. It means pure/clean.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but 'exploding as planned' when landing doesn't seem the best approach for a spacecraft that will take man to the moon.

DNA tests confirmed two 800-year-old “hugging skeletons” buried together in medieval Poland were unrelated women, making it the country’s first genetically confirmed same-sex double burial. The discovery challenges long-held assumptions about ancient burial relationships

These beautiful gold ornaments are in the form of dragons’ heads. They are decorated with delicate filigree work and emeralds. They were found in Galloway as part of a Viking age hoard of gold, silver & crystal. It remains unclear who buried the hoard & why. 🏛️Melbourne Museum 📷mine #FindsFriday
