Oh look. More ridiculous right wing propaganda about how bad London is supposed to be *yawn* www.reddit.com/r/london/com...

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Surely @x626.bsky.social should be on this map? www.instagram.com/p/DPZRBiND-L3/

There are 41 million people living with HIV. Almost 1 in 4 of those do not have access to the treatment that prevents AIDS, saves lives and halts onward transmission. Sadly, as international aid cuts bite, that proportion is predicted to increase. We have the tools to end HIV, we lack the will.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

I'm sure that Trump has in his hand a piece of paper saying that appeasing Putin won't lead to more invasions *spits* At least Chamberlain, a fucking fool, was an honourable man www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Fuck the UK www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

It's a joke of a newspaper but a bloody good idea. I hope we've got the bottle to follow through... www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

Today's snowfall reminded me of this remarkable video of the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seen by the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS camera in 2016 and processed by @landru79.bsky.social. Except the "snow" here is actually dust particles... in front of a moving ocean of stars.

Not an ME/CFS researcher? Perfect. That's exactly who we need. The ME/CFS Fellowship 2026 seeks fresh perspectives from a wide range of life science researchers including biochemists, cell biologists, geneticists, neuroscientists, physiologists., etc. #MECFS #LongCOVID #AcademicSky 🧪

For me, the emblematic end was the collapse and non-rebuilding of the Arecibo Telescope

Asthma suffers and medics: GP is reviewing my asthma, so I have to do peak flow I thought that, as he wants to see how well my existing regimen works, I should test *after* using my preventer inhalers. However the charity Asthma+Lung UK say I should I test *before* my preventers Which is it?

Don't you just love it when there are infinite practicalities with medical stuff?! Peak flow meter: use before or after inhaler? (After, cos we want to see how well existing regime works?) Blood pressure: sit in a well-supported chair (I do not know own such a chair so will have to use cushions)

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

Bollocks. I've got two weeks coming up with medical appointments each week with appointments on two consecutive days, because that's all that's available I'm already deeply exhausted, and this is going to suck AND I need at least one more appt and subsequent visit to pharmacy before Xmas #MECFS

Starting watching #ForAllMankind (finally) I caught myself holding my breath at the Apollo 11 launch I'd forgotten how much l love space, and what it feels like to be part of something bigger than myself (And laughing at the historical quotes put in different situations)

I have an overflowing pile of laundry looking at me in a funny way right now

“It holds bountiful oil, gas, minerals & fish. And it promises to shorten global shipping routes”. Well hallelujah, collapsing Arctic ice sheet will allow full-scale looting of one of world’s last remaining pristine landscapes. Capitalism (and media) looks increasingly like a global death cult.

A barred spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey. It is at redshift 0.039 (lookback time 549.7 million years) with coordinates (18.36340, 0.15248). 51 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.

I feel like I would like to get very, very drunk

FINALLY seen Dune 2: Even Dunier™ and I'd swear the slotted-top door aperture in the baby worm handling sietch is an explicit reference to pre-Islamic Arabian architecture

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

More Brexit dividends! "estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%." siepr.stanford.edu/publications...

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

Looks like Russia just lost human launch ability for a while So sad. Anyway.

Bloody well done, that man. Bloody well done www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is the most hilarious pandering to old people in the budget www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do humans find rodents cuter than other mammals because we're relatively closely related?

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'. even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become. they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

I'm probably not doing Christmas cards this year, as it's been a bad year healthwise and I am flaming knackered. Some of you will probably pipe up and say "surely you're simply flaming?". And I will thank you for your service to comedy.

Were they arrested for blocking the road? Or is it OK to block the road, prevent the movement of emergency vehicles and generally cause a stinking nuisance, as long as you’re in a massive gas guzzling tractor, and not Extinction Rebellion sitting peacefully in the road? We should be told

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

Man, the mansion tax is a good idea, but I'm still hoping that if the planning liberalisation actually passes that they instead replace council tax with a progressive tax on the property value Then you'd actually get a working market shaped to benefit the nation

Architects pitch alternative Liverpool Street station “Arch” to rival Network Rail’s “tower” www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/arc...

The amount of illegal this is is a lot.

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

imagine having to hear shit like "study confirms giving diabetic children insulin reduces their death rates by 100%" as if that hasn't been known for like a hunred years. that's what being trans is like

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.

Bah humbug

Hey. Wanna see what it looks like to fly past your home planet? THEN LOOK AT THIS This is the OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft's view as it swung by Earth on Tuesday, 23 September 2025 from an altitude of 3,500 km. Look how beautiful that big blue marble is ❤️
