…who confirmed the squid ID as a true giant squid, Architeuthis dux. Next, I reached out to an expert on sperm whales at NOAA, who was also blown away and agreed she’d NEVER seen anything like this! This planet is a phenomenal place.

You can see billows of black ink still flowing, a last battle cry from the battered squid… When I saw these videos, shared by @lud_adventure on Instagram, I immediately reached out to Smithsonian expert Dr. Michael Vecchione…

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Another extraordinary win today - don't let our natural negativity bias let the recognition of these miracles slip away

For record distro purposes I am looking for bricks and mortar record shops that are run by psych/sixties heads and stock the odd reissue. Bit of a tough thing to google, so any tips gratefully received! UK and abroad both good.

If you're not entitled to a free flu shot, you can get one privately from Asda for 60p(!!) as part of a promotional offer if you book online and can go before September ends. Here's the link: asda.cxmflow.com/OABS/Appoint...

this is wonderful. i'm stuck on finding guitar cat.

Chrissie Hynde is selling her lime-green 1971 Pontiac Firebird LeMans T-37. It's a beaut. bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/lot/...

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

ADHD should come with some sort of helper animal like this

Autism is not a tragedy.

Me: *travelling back in time to talk to my teenaged self in 1995. I only have 5 seconds* Yo! In 30 years GWAR is going to remind you they exist in the funniest way possible! Teenaged me: why am i a girl? Me: GWAR?!?!?! 😂*fade away*

it took longer than my entire adult life but GWAR is breaking the normie barrier and the results are going to be phenomenal

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

fucking hilarious the mutts are getting mad about GWAR

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

American evangelicals are entering their ghost dancing era.

Few records come close to ‘US OG Beat Goes On by Vanilla Fudge’ when it comes to spine thickness

This was fun: 56 years after recording one of, if not *the* first privately recorded albums of original material by a UK rock band, Chris, Snip and Derek of Genesis got together to sign inserts.

“Many experts are sceptical” is a weird way to spell “most experts say this is totally delusional horseshit” but you do you BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think I have to make a sign to tap: If you are a non-citizen residing in the USA who intends to continue residing in the USA for the forseeable future, do not travel abroad. Ppl think I’m Chicken Little and I reply: immigration laws & enforcement can turn on a dime. This is Exh. 568.

Autism was categorized as a syndrome in 1943, but Tylenol didn't become available until 1955. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

I have made the first five chapters of my serialised novel FREE TO READ for the next TWO WEEKS. I would love for you to read it and to tell everyone you know to read it. calamitystrinket.ghost.io/a-stranger-a...

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back. Computer…enhance. #garden #gardening #oopsfrog

Its incredible how many nice things Charlie Kirk seems to have said in private given that he filmed himself 23 hours a day

Trying so hard to have a tiny crumb of energy to walk my doggo.

Born in 1873 Maori scholar Mākereti Papakura is believed to be the first indigenous woman to matriculate at University of Oxford. She enrolled in 1922 to read Anthropology at Pitt Rivers Museum but tragically died just before graduating. She will be awarded a posthumous degree in Oxford next week.

This is what our Prime Minister is selling us out to America for. Lmao

A Story by The Genesis - OUT NOW

So delighted this is finally out!

Just seen the first distro statement for ‘A Story by The Genesis’ and Disk Union in Japan have taken 47 CD and 17 LPs which made me come over all funny. There are 300 of each in total, so that’s really not to be sniffed at diskunion.net/rock/ct/deta...

Just watched a bit of Piers Morgan on Question Time - whenever I see him (which is rare) - I remind myself that in his eulogy to Mohammed Al Fayed he described him as a “bit of a rascal” - another case of everyone gathering together to cover up what was in plain sight

developed an earth-shattering crush on Conan earlier this year so watched a bunch of his early late night shows, like a creep, and was really taken aback by how properly funny and *really* odd most of it was, the cultural mainstream has become so much more sanitised over the past decade or two

🏺 Yet more #Neanderthal AI slop polluting YouTube, and one of these videos as usual claims my book is a source (in other words scraped, presumably from pirate copying). This stuff is so deeply unethical, exploitative of authors AND viewers (who even subscribes to such channels?!).

BUMCRISP

This is what it will be like tomorrow

We've got a record coming out tomorrow that we've been working on for years, and I'm just crashing like an absolute bastard. Can't even find the energy to piss about in Canva.

Watching Ricky Gervais go dead silent about the right of a comedian to offend anyone they want now that it means more than pissing off college students is gonna be the first funny thing he’s done since The Office ended.

i see gorgeous masonry like this and i go absolutely silly sicko mode

as a member of the radical transgender terrorist movement, i will now close my september weekend by drinking trader joe’s fall harvest tea & eating a tiny pumpkin pie with my wife as we watch the great british bake off. you know, just like [checks gop talking points] al qaeda. worse than, really.

Magical atmospheric optics up there today!

Robert Redford was a Short King, an inspiration to 5 foot 8 men everywhere

Few white men have ever looked more stylish, especially in 1975. #RIP #Peacoat #Redford

multiculturalism has been a success for the UK. Austerity should be blamed for failing the country. It's not a hard message to communicate

I was supposed to get an unpleasant medical procedure today, but it has been rescheduled! 🎉🎉🎉

JUST IN! 'A Story By The Genesis' by The Genesis Obscure psychedelic rock opera unearthed by Dimorphodons’ Will Twynham on eBay. @dimorphodons.bsky.social @handofglory.bsky.social www.normanrecords.com/records/2104...
