I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

If you were a kid in the 1970s is it even possible to watch this without the Six Million Dollar Man theme playing in your head?

Go on, who else has this LP as a kid in the late 70s?

This is going to end up with teams from Torchwood, The Laundry and the Department of Works all pointing at one another as per the triple Spiderman meme while something with altogether too many tentacles creeps up on them.

Just about every student of military strategy on looking at this.

Wandering around the Malvern Spring RHS show and this Auricula seemed worryingly familiar...

Aaaand he’s gone full Turkmenbashi.

Every divorce lawyer who has spent months trying to hammer Heads of Agreement into a Consent Order in a financial remedies case is screaming right now.

This account has happily documented many reasons for vessels to be lost. Daft designs, acts of cartographical inexactitude and suicidal signalling have all featured heavily. However "capsized due to proximity of nudists" is surprisingly underrepresented in the historical record. Until now.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."

JFC I am having another episode. Left: AI colourisation. Right: Original Details in ALT. Bottomline, we cannot trust this technology, it is a thieving hallucination machine. #fuckai @garius.bsky.social @curatorian.bsky.social @rafhistory.bsky.social

If you are thinking of visiting the United States, don't kid yourself that you are safe from ICE because you're not like Yousif. If it suits ICE to do so, they will find a way in which you are like him.

Idiocracy. The USA has achieved complete idiocracy. I would say “100% idiocracy” but percentages don’t mean anything any more.

Ozzy in his cat condo, with an extra doorway for his tail.

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

People over on Facebook/YouTube/elsewhere on bluesky/reality have been mocking this, but these are all totally genuine and highly advanced GMing techniques pioneered in obscure corners of indie rpg design in the early 2000s. Let's go through them one by one and learn together.

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Read this thread. Now, I'm not asking. It contains black ops pangolins and the only known aviator to have crashed more times then John McCain!

Very sorry to hear that the great Ian Watson left us today. I last saw him at Eastercon a year ago, where he bought me a magic wand to go with my elf ears. He will be much missed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Wat...

Recreate your own Artemis splashdown with three Tunnocks teacakes and a Nespresso pod

West Midlands Trains, please take note.

Any current or former military officer will confirm that someone like this in your junior ranks is worth their weight in gold, even if it means keeping a delicate balance between maintaining plausible deniability about their antics while staying well informed enough to keep them out of jail.

we have got to get it together, in like twenty-four hours the astronauts are back

For once, it's entirely accurate to say... PICTURE FROM A CANBERRA

Congratulations to @unamccormack.bsky.social on her BSFA award - even though it is fiendishly difficult to photograph!

Well done @tadethompson.bsky.social!

Overheard in the queue for breakfast at this hotel: “And they keep on leaving me really long voicemails. I did not consent to a f***ing podcast!”

Thomas gets taken to a black ops site

Artemis toting the first bog out of LEO certainly puts a new spin on "boldly going where no-one has gone before"

They've been on the phone to Chris Morris or Sacha Baron Cohen, haven't they?

Very pretty, but with respect that is not a bat. That is an attack kitten with wings.

This is very cool. They’ve found the custom keyboard that ILM made to help George Lucas write Yoda’s dialogue.

Awful paint choice, awful paint choice, nice floor tiles, awful paint choice HOLY CRAP THE MURDER BASEMENT

Very good, but now I want to see the Dad's Army version.

Talk about a memory trigger - does anyone else taste Weetabix when looking at this?

As a non-Jew with Jewish friends* I can understand why some of them are finding this site uncomfortable at the moment. (I also have Muslim friends, Sikh friends, Hindu friends, Christian friends of various denominations, Pagan friends and - as a humanist myself - non-religious friends.)

We are out of Gary Retrograde; Gary Oldman is no longer younger (in whole years) than Gary Numan.

That did not go anywhere I was expecting.

Today's #Housegawp is called "Mixed Messages" www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Something a little further afield for your fantasy homebuying @stephenkb.bsky.social but don't worry, plenty of grey décor and questionable design choices.

So many programmers are around today thanks to the colorful illustrations and clear language of the Usborne computer guides

Clanger J: Good morning and welcome to my courtroom. Litigant (with suspiciously chunky glasses): My Lord, the tinfoil wallpaper and chicken wire over the windows seem new? Clanger J: Allow me to explain the concept of a Faraday Cage.
