Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Just found out Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel are two different people.

Regulated Condiment Access ports.

Channel 5 having an absolute nightmare with their feed from CBS for their new big NFL programme. (attn: @scottygb.bsky.social, @thetvroom.com)

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

"Has the UK Government lied to us?" asks Radio 1's Sam and/or Dani. #Emergencyalert

Melvyn Bragg has decided to stand down as host of In Our Time, the BBC says.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Stay safe out there on #bankholidaymonday

If anyone's wondering how my summer break is going, I've just watched a 17 minute YouTube video on UK milk labels.

my moment has arrived

This week, just when they announce an Enhanced Edition, we get a Shenmue related question on University Challenge. #UniversityChallenge #Shenmue

Noticed the sky isn't as blue today? Smoke from wildfires in Spain & Portugal, plus Saharan dust, has drifted over the UK Expect enhanced sunsets & sunrises in the coming days — deeper reds & oranges thanks to light scattering 🔥🌄

This seems a plausible cause

A Nationwide outage / failure of Virgin Media TV seems to be unfolding. Confirmed to be effecting The Midlands, Manchester, Northern Ireland, London, The South West and South Wales.

For those watching the football, this seems like a good tip!

It seems like virgin media TV is broke for a lot of people (according to a search I did the bird site to see if it was just me ). This is what l'm getting on mine. Looks similar all over, with a lot of people trying to watch the first footie game of the season.

Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate.

I wonder if they foresignified that people will shoehorn words which haven't been said yet into their posts. www.avibagla.com/blueskydicti...

Everyone sit down a minute: Skynet was activated TWENTY-EIGHT years ago.

What an amazing test match. Up there with some of the best. Glad I was there for the match at Edgbaston, but imagining being at The Oval this morning. I really thought England were going to do it for a minute there, it could've gone either way. #ENGvIND

I love Fortnite

Going to have a nice relaxing, anxiety free, night watching BBC Four.

Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now. (Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

Has BBC's Horizon strand been quietly dropped? I was in the mood for a scientist in corduroy, standing slightly left of camera, explaining some science to me, and the most recent outing seems to be from 2022 on iPlayer. Not to be all boomer but the BBC don't do enough one off science docs anymore.

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

I do love that each @esa.int astronaut gets a good food stunt. We had Tim Peake’s bacon sandwich, Samantha Cristoforetti’s espresso, and now pierogi. Important stuff!

Flickr also implementing age verification. Having had the account since 2005 is not an assessed factor apparently.

This is a good round.

Michele has a good summary of our new paper: the first science paper from the Rubin Observatory, featuring observations of our visiting interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

Weather nerds: what is the best and most accurate weather app to you?

Star Trek is back!

I love that this is a regular thing now, among questions on film, tv and opera. (It took me the Year and the Gabe Newell reference to get this)

I just saw a good example of what I was talking about with chatgpt being a crackpot generating machine. A guy had started Wheeler's Spacetime Physics, and had a problem on page 2. Wheeler expressed a square root as a power of 1/2. √a = a^1/2. This is basic algebra, not physics.

Did a demon write this?

Seems crazy to change the format at this late stage though.

Well #RoyalMail have outdone themselves: look what arrived in the mail! Turns out you can send me a letter with only "The Astronomer Royal, Edinburgh, Scotland" on the address! 🙏 to 95yo Mr Pritchard: a very lovely letter about telescopes 🔭 and his childhood ambitions to discover a new star 🥰.

Can you even call it a run chase at this point? #ENGvIND

It was depressing when the scoreboard looked like this. A 608 target, makes for a boring day 5 of playing for the draw. Interesting the India waited till 5 to declare though - They think they can get England out in a day and 90 minutes? #ENGvIND #WTC27

We have an interstellar fuzzball! 🔭

The Minor Planet Center has designated 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), or informally "Comet ATLAS", a new interstellar comet that is currently about 4.5 AU from the Sun and screaming through the solar system at 58 km/s (130000 mph)

Sorry, WHAT?!

I'm not normally one for flags at glasto...but thats excellent.

I’ve got DOMs from just being at work 😭

Incredible match. Incredible chase. Incredible win. So glad I'm going to be at Edgbaston to see this England team. #ENGvsIND

Solstice already?! Only feels like 6 months since the last one.

Warmest day of the year so far

Never made this connection before, but it's so accurate!
