Given the casualty rates in Ukraine I think Russia is actually on pace to be the first country to fully eliminate their masculine population.

Fun fact: did you know archaeologists have 739 words for mud No 203: Clodgy #Durotriges26

Have I got this right? Having 1 million x as much as the average person is just the economy operating as it should, but expecting them to pay the same % of tax as the average person is "extreme"?

"Once we incorporate employer-sponsored health insurance in this way, we see that American workers earning the average wage pay just as much, if not more, in labor taxes as Nordic workers who earn their country's average wage." peoplespolicyproject.org/2026/06/05/u...

The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen. Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the automated business support agent of the gate.

Saw a Roman aqueduct today..was quite impressed 😮😉 The astonishing C1st AD Pont du Gard in Provence, built to provide Roman Nimes with water as part of a 30 mile network. No mortar used - and still standing 1900 years later Incredible engineering 📷 My own, today

Wow!

being a decent person is punk rock

Sharing for the folks concerned about retail theft in the UK. Most people don’t steal baby formula for fun or profit.

We all have the ability to make the world a better place, each in our own way. I think it's fair to say that Anthony Head knew this, recognised it, and did far more than most to live up to the opportunities his fame afforded him in order to put good into this world whenever and wherever he could.

someone on Twitter once posted a breakdown showing how many gay men died of AIDS in various districts of Florida, overlaid with how many votes Gore lost those districts by in 2000, and I've genuinely never been okay since. there literally would have been no George W. if those men were still with us

This is something the Victorians understood: that democracy is dangerously vulnerable to plutocracy, and that it needs to build defences against that. Our defences are in tatters. Rebuilding them is one of the most urgent tasks facing our politics.

Hi we're not nervous, we hate it and would like it to fall into an open manhole, hope that helps

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

This pride month I wanna acknowledge @patricknessbooks.bsky.social, a long time fav author. In particular Piper At The Gates Of Dusk (2026) brought me to tears like two chapters in with the grace with which it handled a trans character. How his transness informed him but didn't define his story.

British artist Briton Rivière depicts this young girl optimistically trying to teach her long-suffering but patient bloodhound to read ~ no doubt inspired by the controversial introduction of compulsory education for children in the 1880s (‘Compulsory Education’, AGNSW, 1887)

this year is the 25th anniversary of the Samsung Open in Brighton, where Goran Ivanisevic made history and became the first and only professional tennis player ever to concede a match because he had smashed all his rackets and had nothing left to play with

Looks like one of my few remaining projects has been cancelled before it got started, so if anyone out there needs a letterer with 23+ years of experience lettering for DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, etc. then please contact me or let your editors know 🙏

Great thread 😁😁😁

I'm not saying we should abandon electrical technology, it's very good. But I will say I think we should return to mechanical means for many things. You do not need an app for your door lock. You do not need a smart fridge. You do not need a coffee machine with a camera. Bring back the mechanical.

I mean. I dedicated a whole book to my 3 decades long grudge...

Takes them a month to run the average marathon, so this is remarkably good value.

This is how Leading Aircraftwoman Margaret Horton earned herself a free flight on, and not in, a Spitfire...

Hard to believe I’m even writing this. Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.

Your future home could become part of a giant national battery. Home storage systems already let households save cheap off-peak electricity, and soon many will sell it back to the grid during peak demand. The energy system is becoming decentralised. Stephen McNair reports.

"technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate and use it."

Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.

Last week, @thenerve.news published #TheHarborneReceipts, a forensic examination in cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne’s donations…& how closely they tracked Farage & Johnson’s pro-crypto policy statements. Yesterday, the FT published an editorial making this exact point about Reform. 1/

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

Why did you do this, @hayfestival.bsky.social? Please tell me that at least this isn’t something you’ve changed since last Thursday. And please try to do better next year: there are plenty of visibly queer people here

‘Tony Blair Is Offering a Victorian Answer to a 21st Century Crisis’ Britain is living through five interlocking technological revolutions and the former Prime Minister has only noticed one of them, argues Nafeez Ahmed

"Three teenage boys convicted of the rape and serious sexual assault of girls as young as 14 walked free from court with fines of £26 each and rehabilitation orders, the Guardian has learned." Honestly, our white, cis, straight, privileged male dominated judiciary has so much to answer for.
