GROSSE POINTE BLANK, one of my favorite movies of all time, turns 30 next year! The only Blu-Ray release of it has *no* special features, a true crime! One of the many labels out there needs to license it from Disney, and *I* need to do the commentary! Let's Dr. Oatman this and make it happen!

we need a way for idiots and assholes and dumdums to be heard more and to have more direct impact over more lives

a quarter of republican men are so committed to the bit that they won’t say they could kick the ass of an octogenarian whose only regular exercise is running scared

Just seen Richard Dawkins telling a speak your weight machine that it's wearing a smashing blouse.

The arts and humanities have no value, they say. It’s too hard to monetise them. You can’t make billions from them. Therefore they are of no use to us.

A fresh look at a cosmic icon! 🛰️ NASA's Hubble just shared a stunning new view of the Crab Nebula. Using 25 years of data, astronomers are tracking how this famous supernova remnant evolves and expands in real-time. The universe is always on the move! ✨ #NASA #Space #Hubble 1/4

Very possibly the greatest TV series ever made. Treat yourself!

@hypervisible.blacksky.app One for "Today in luxury surveillance"!

The extraordinary thing is how they've burnt down their core vote on social issues where they had most policy freedom - not really because of tough economic constraints. Unless I'm the only one who felt "Okay they're never doing socialism but at least they'll reverse the culture war stuff"?

printing this out and sticking it on the wall of my office to look at every time I feel like I'm shit at running a business (so once a day at least)

That the biggest upsets for both NHS and managed migration was delivered by Farage’s lifework and now people see him as the solution to the chaos. I need a lie down.

RIP freud. you would’ve loved whatever this is.

DEEP-FRIED WENSLEYDALE KLAXON. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

On a structural level, the government is not taking this stuff seriously enough This content is a threat to public order and is driving a disintegration of the social fabric. An administration with its finger on the pulse would understand that a lot of issues run downstream of this

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

The return of runic magic! Golems! The Word made true. If you find the right magic spell, the genie has to obey you. Only you can tame the monkey's paw! It's SCIENCE

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

It’s actually incredible that Musk can spend years off his gourd on drugs, dismantling the federal government, turning X into the leading platform for white nationalists, and making absurd claims about his vaporware technology, and America’s #1 courtier will still claim he’s just a smol science bean

I love that Alan Moore occasionally says the sanest, most grounded thing imaginable, like it's just to keep the rest of us on our toes

The bit I love about astronomical observations is the potential to find the unexpected. This is a result that's not on my bingo card for occultation studies. A research group in Japan has found a Kuiper belt object with a tenuous atmosphere that shouldn't be there, but it is.

this is all I have to say on the matter

Saw the front of the Telegraph in a shop a moment ago. It’s taking a report that 600k households are so poorly paid that welfare payments exceed wages and arguing that the problem with this is the welfare bit.

Menoptera there at Number 5... Just me? #doctorwho

Labour have zero excuse to keep using it.

Polo neck and no trousers? Figures.

😂

very good piece. I don’t see anyone in UK politics going ‘we will ban AI from schools,’ which would be I think a popular policy, and I assume this is because all our politicians are being lobbied by AI companies pretty much constantly

Very sorry to see that the last undergrad archaeology class at Uni #Sheffield was taught yesterday. The wanton destruction happening now in academia on both sides of the Atlantic will be widely seen as the violence it is one day. #SaveSheffield #SaveSheffieldArchaeology

Here’s a stupid video of R2D2 playing an ABBA hologram.

Dear Labour supporters. If you want to put me off voting Green rather than Labour, the key is *not* to attack the Greens, but to ask yourself why I, a life-long Labour supporter, who has voted Labour at every GE since 1983 (my first), can't support Labour. Look at yourselves. Look at your party.

I hope they laminated it...

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

Bert and Ernie should have their own show. I don't want to have to watch Sesame Street to see what they're up to. I'm not 5

This is the offence of "undue influence" under the 1983 Representation of the People Act. Its potential applicability to these electoral communications may depend on the scope of the prohibition to "intimidate in any other way"

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

🔴 A flagship British research agency has given £50m+ of UK taxpayer cash to US tech firms Beneficiaries include firms bankrolled by Sam Altman and Eric Schmidt Some firms were incorporated in U.K. just a day before being given millions Scoop on D4S democracyforsale.substack.com/p/dominic-cu...

In a rational world the government would be asking people to respond to the current fossil fuel crisis by car sharing, turning lights off, and generally saving fuel and energy. And yet Ministers can’t even propose better efficiency standards for tumble dryers without the right wing press going mad.

A politician running from questions about the £5 million offshore bribe he was paid would normally still be a story

Kuenssberg asks, how can we afford to pay people £15/hour LK, who earns around £400,000/year, doesn't ask, how can people afford to live on less than £15/hour? Neither does she ask, should we be subsidising the profits of businesses by topping up the poverty wages they pay?

you have to understand that when Richard Dawkins says really dumb things it's because Oxford dons have no natural predators.

"I thought it was me as a doctor."

I have no doubt there are moms who would like to own True Detective on DVD, but I’m not sure giving your mom that for Mother’s Day is ever the move

(I make a "mouth" with the side of my hand and draw little eyes above it) Richard Dawkins: hmmmm (I put lipstick around the "mouth") Richard Dawkins, suavely: well hello

Chinese researchers have created a bamboo-based plastic as strong as petroleum-based plastics, which can fully biodegrade in soil in just 2 months phys.org/news/2025-10...
