I forgot to post this photo of a local pub whose wholehearted commitment to commemorating Remembrance Sunday extended to erecting a Cenotaph on the roof

100 Day Semen Retention Journey’s Peel Session was amazing, but I don’t feel like they ever really captured the same live energy on a studio album.

Is that good

Performing desirable behaviour and "virtue signalling" is also absolutely core to human society. It's why we tell kids that stealing is wrong, rather than just that it's illegal and punishable by law. Living in a place where people only treat each other well when forced to by rules would be AWFUL.

🦛 🐋 🐢 The Poole play sculptures have come out of hibernation! Originally installed in the town’s Dolphin Centre (formerly the Arndale Centre) in 1969, the wooden Hippo, Turtle, and Whale sculptures were by renowned artist Peter Hand (1929-2024). 🧵

Trying to bring a bit of old fashioned classic twitter-era medical discussion to Bluesky! Made a short video about the huge Prostate Cancer Screening study just published in @nejm.org. Regular media and social media docs have, predictably, made a hash of the results #medsky youtu.be/OQ7g1lQ26s0?...

The Joiners and The Croft now under community ownership - hell yeah

Not that anyone cares anymore but here's the source: youtube.com/shorts/ak_gb... . Schmoyoho "some tiktok dj" ?! Get off my lawn etc.

La Chouffe, Eccles cakes, and a couple of very playful ferrets - what a great way of spending the evening

Been on a real slog lately at work, trying to get access to important data from public body which only makes it available via a badly structured website. I'd be surprised if this website isn't driven by some sort of structured data source (although with the wonkiness of the website maybe not) 1/n

Train pricing insanity: SRD <-> OXF (change BRI) arr 1024 £83 BRI <-> OXF dep 0900 arr 1024 £33 SRD <-> BRI dep 0835 arr 0846 £1.50 £48.50 more expensive to do the same journey on one ticket instead of two

Inspired by The Jase's video, I realised that the Mr Blobby song also works quite well with the John Lewis advert. But then it took a dark turn...

To celebrate the earlier occasion.

This is something I worry about for myself, as alluring as the convenience is. I've used it a couple of times to get over the "activation energy" but have rewritten for clarity/style/functionality/belligerence reasons

Id love to speak to anyone who wants to put in a PhD application to this call and might want me as a supervisor?? Get in touch!

Used them as part of a semi-automated dairy cow health monitoring/ detection system. Got 3 prototypes out in to farms, was working well, then the company got bought out and the new owners pulled the plug. Fun project tho and eventually led into me doing my PhD so can't complain too much

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

What is a liberal party for? by @caronmlindsay.bsky.social. Some thoughts on party strategy and the controversy over diversity quotas. www.libdemvoice.org/what-is-a-li...

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Arne Slot and Geert Wilders tonight:

Russian fascism is engaged in an existential civilisational battle against liberal democracy, with the Ukrainian working class acting as the first line of defence for Europe. Material support for the Ukrainian armed forces is class solidarity. Arming Kyiv is anti-fascist praxis.

Trick or treat, you bald-headed bastard 😂🎃👻👹🍌 #RememberingRik #RikMayall #AdrianEdmondson #Bottom #Terror #Halloween #SpookySeason

not to be confused with quesadilla

The “war on fentanyl” is actually paving the way for even worse drugs to do even more harm to Americans because that’s how these things have always gone and nobody ever wants to hear that. If you haven’t heard of the Iron Law of Prohibition, now is a great time to look it up!

Sometimes I forget I own the best piece of music merch that ever existed.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

NYT games admitting its inspiration here?

Given how illegible black/death metal band logos can be I legitimately thought the one on the bottom left was real (turns out it's a placeholder)

Brianna keeps getting written about, even if not especially her own mother, like she tragically killed herself rather than was murdered in a transphobic hate crime

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

A court has requested a Latin interpreter for today's sentencing hearing LATIN (AMERICAN) INTERPRETER REQUIRED Luckily they added (American), and someone who speaks Spanish has turned up. Otherwise the interpreter might have spent the day translating legal asides, but not much else

Rendering letters at @acm.org, the largest CS publisher, going great! If the machines ever do rise, simply hold up some printouts of non-ASCII characters and you will be safe!

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Likewise the "chemical weapons" they're buying is normal OC spray. Not Sarin nerve gas or whatever else people were thinking.

Guys, there's no evidence ICE is buying guided warheads. The contract in question is for normal distraction devices, the kind they've been using for years.

on the anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, what galls me most is that lessons still haven't been learned. In 2020 a mine spoil landslide happened just outside the town i grew up in, sweeping away decades of local history. the only thing we had was that mountainside to play on!

France once again proving that holding former elected leaders criminally accountable isn’t some far fetched impossibility.

"extending the Bristol-Bath Railway Path by half a mile so it goes directly into the heart of Bath city centre, ... new two-way segregated cycle lanes on the A4 near St Brendan’s College" ooh nice. Still wonder if the greenway is at risk, mind

Jeri is a wizard

Uh-oh.

This is very fucking cool and I felt confident that I could do it, too . . . until he got to the trees 😂 Fucking spray paint Bob Ross lol

Madam, I have not shat my pantaloons, I merely have a

Here’s another classic Pulp chorus

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
