look I know that we DON'T have winged insect fossils from Devonian, but we know they should have existed in THEORY, and I will do my best to put lil #invertebrate weirdos in my #vertebrate #SciArt works I also NEED to draw the cornetto one we do have a fossil of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strudie...

FIFA headquarters are in Switzerland the Swiss FA have come out against FIFA's decision.

Unironically this.

Non-binary people, this is a very short survey by the person behind the annual gender terminology census. Please fill it in if you have a moment. It's designed so as not to identify anybody. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I felt I had no choice but to resign from the BBC due to their attitude to speaking out , in my own time , about both sexual abuse and transphobia, I feel more cancelled than these arse flannels

That's why good leaders have value based policies. Because when inevitably the shit hits the fan, you have a values based position in which to run policy from. Call it a moral compass or whatever. It's also why Labour have singularly failed, because they've failed to communicate any of their values

I've long felt that a fundamental problem with the centrist/neoliberal position of labour is that they don't believe that politicians should change the publics mind. It's all, "well the public thinks welfare spending is too high, so we need to cut welfare", and it leads to this absurd poll chasing.

Rocket balls!

Post something calming.

"£20bn of the “potential” £30bn in investment touted by the UK government appears to have been totally hypothetical." "In other words, the government suggested the site would attract £20bn because it needed £20bn." Total hype economics in action.

Lookit this cute nonsense

Every layer of "AI", from the buildings to the things it produces, is nothing but a huge vapour-ware con of hype and waffle. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I need one of those scratch off maps, but instead of the world and what places you visited it is a human body and all the organs that give me problems

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

The rig I'm on has put up first aid guides that were made with AI. Wouldn't bother with CPR there, would be more concerned by the fact is head isn't connected to his body

It was such a massive betrayal. Only two years earlier the line had been "you can't leave the UK, or you'll lose your EU membership!" Still not over it.

I thought I was doing pretty well assembling all the orks and Gretchen from the Armageddon box. Turns out there's 2 sets of each. More to do. Plus, the little chap seems to only want to do the impressive leaders from the space marines, so there's another 10+3 left.

The problem is that you don't know whether it's great or just weird until you put it out there. Some things are just weird. I read, in fascinated horror, a romance novel about a man with a horse's head once. Instead of his own head, I mean.

TBH, elephant seals look like 1970s Doctor Who villains no matter what angle you're looking at them.

"Sorry, this promotion is currently unavailable in your area". Thankfully I don't know how to work a VPN.

Ooft.

Worth a rewatch because of how good it is

It worked. That's crazy.

Neat! 500 per 1,000 men during the Boer War were admitted for STIs. The solution? Not shame, but "health education, increased temperance, better leisure facilities within barracks, and improved treatment methods "for both sexes under conditions to which no penal stigma (was) attached.""

And we're proud of you.

Said bullshit has now manifested into the material realm.
