Whether it's Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. fighting to desegregate public restrooms or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. snorting cocaine off of toilet seats, toilets play a key role in the history of the Kennedys.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

We wanted to understand how mRNA vaccines work. So we talked to three cocaine addicts in a gas station bathroom off Route 6.

It’s Cesar Romero’s birthday. He refused to shave his trademark moustache when he played the Joker so they had to paint over it. Respect.

Honestly? This sign shouldn’t really be necessary…

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

The BBC reports on a “fast spreading measles outbreak”… What, unlike the usual kinda chill, lethargic measles outbreaks? Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man Please, please, please check that you and yours are vaccinated! #vaccineswork #askforvax 💉💖💉

We had a whole day yesterday when it didn't rain and now we are paying a thousandfold for our hubris. It's like a Greek tragedy but with weather instead of incest

best birthday present: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks to journal editor and Elsevier integrity office for taking this seriously.

7th February 2019—True story My son (9) was at 10 Downing Street this weekend. He is with me right now: Me, "What's the Downing St cat called?" Son, "Larry!" Me, "Who is the prime minister?" Son, "Er..I don't know...Oh, Theresa May." So glad @number10cat.bsky.social is still going strong!

I first encountered @skepticalraptor.bsky.social 15 years ago and have learned a ton from his writing. 🙏

My (now spouse) took me on a clifftop picnic! It was truly wonderful—he had a hamper & everything… He got lost on the way there, but I now know this was par for the course (I navigate when we travel) We met in a nightclub, playing pool He knocked a ball from the table into a pint of beer 🍺

New analysis: 0.25% of 2025 Bluesky posts contained citations to research...while only 0.000006% of X/Twitter posts did. In raw numbers, X still has 2x the research-based posts that Bluesky does (though they are harder to find): but it took Twitter 10 years to get there vs just 2 years for Bluesky

An old favorite for this #FluorescenceFriday. This "rose" is actually a kidney glomerulus (red, podocytes) and an axon reaching towards it (green).

This year I gave him my heart and he got me a gallon of Tabasco Hammers? Amateurs…

YES THIS WHY COULD I NOT REMEBMER THIS!

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Happy Valentine’s Day Y’all! So my darling spouse got me this dress… It’s very ME, but perhaps not a going out and about feeding ducks dress? 🖤🖤🖤

Happy Valentine’s Day, especially to all my fellow #Murderbot fans! And to @happytoast.co.uk who drew this beautiful card…

Remembering 2023 when I got my spouse Easter candy and a jar of hammers… Happy Valentine’s Day EVERYONE xkcd.com/1016/

A tech founder sent me an explanation of a meeting with Elon and asked for advice on what to do next. Here's how I replied, so everyone can benefit.

I’m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why. Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.

Feeling really down tonight, and it would really help if I could get some more eyes on this. (To sum up - queer and neurodivergent, currently unemployed, broke a tooth making dental care more urgent, other bills and expenses ongoing.) Please share and help if you can #MutualAid #HelpSky 💸💕

Yes, this. Seeing different ways of doing things is so valuable and AI just can't. It's like linguistic colonialism. AI takes away minority ways of thinking and communicating. I'm just going to keep being weird, thanks very much.

This seems to demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding on the part of politicians about WHY the people want the files released… BRING IT DOWN LET IT BURN ”the people” want to toast marshmallows on the smoldering ruins (Or at least that’s MY impression, YMMV)

My littlest—back when he was just five years old…he has always had his own take on stuff… One little duck went swimming one day… Quack

Oh a fanfic which is also a functioning game of minesweeper? I can’t think WHICH fandom that’s from… Narrator: she lied—she knows exactly which fandom (Oh it’s so good)

Indeed! Fanfic is a frankly amazing little ecosystem..it’s full of fantastically imaginative stuff, and has some amazingly generous and talented people

"The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January" Watching this sentient bath slime radicalize himself has been terrifying. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

One reason I enjoy the skyline here and am long gone from there

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Breathplay where my wife pretends she's Darth Vader and I pretend I'm someone who sasses Darth Vader

Scottish??!?? OMG! Dave must be spinning in his grave… Note for Americans: David Prowse’s accent is from the South West of this part of the world…not Scotland (which is the Northern part) 💖💖💖

This was requested way back in 2018 when my Daughter spent a few months in hospital, I remember it really cheering her up! 🥹

Got rejected from donating plasma today, AND broke a tooth, making already needed and unaffordable dental care more urgent. Anyone care to donate to the "reality fucking hates me" fund? 😒

Mate, it was 1066. Move on.

Tonight's beautiful murder of thousands of crows. ❤️

post a non religious photo you think of as holy

It is cold and grim and I am on the way to the picket line, HOWEVER: I saw a frog on the way in. The frog of solidarity has bouyed my spirits 👊

Post a tree that you photographed 📸🌲

Steve Jobs had the most treatable form of pancreatic cancer around and he refused conventional treatments which he admitted at the time of his death cost him is life. I'm BEGGING you not to use celebrities who only reveal tiny bits of their medical diagnosis to make a larger point about society

John talking about BSKY

Having today invigilated a maths exam may I just express my feeling of deep annoyance that: The number 1 is not a prime number And that the number 2 is… This seems wrong As you were…
