How is there just a YouTube advert for gold

Haunted by this guy from the PSA at the doctor's saying he went in for a routine health check and his blood pressure was 273/191

Just received this email: "In the fall of 2005, you sent a letter to the future via an "Email Time Capsule" created by Forbes. Twenty years later, we're happy to partner with Scientific American to deliver the message" My email time capsule message read "test". Thanks, Paul.

seems bad

1920s juries were not taken to crime scenes and so the murder scene of Emily Kaye in an Eastbourne bungalow was brought to them in 1924 thanks to the craft skills of PC Edward Er Onan Shelah (1890-1962) at Brixton Police Station. #CM150 #Museum30 #making #truecrime

Listen, shut the fuck up!

I don't understand why sometimes the Channel 4 app shows me loads of ads and sometimes there's no ads at all

I ran into a tiny dog that looked like my big dog at the dog park.

Can I quietly ask we stop talking about what "AI" *could* do in education and identify instead what's actually happening with AI in education? I'll start...

I may have to form a rock band, so I can use this as the cover of our first cd. www.livescience.com/space/the-su...

I've always been annoyed by the assumptions people made about the victims at Pompeii based on where they were found, their position or connection to others. Making up relationships, assuming genders, etc. Nice to see that dealt with by science; www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

reskeeting for all the fans of new trainer tread patterns

Live birth in toads! Is a thing! Three newly described species of tree toads give birth to toadlets, ~40 or more at a pop and each just a few millimeters long. They were previously all lumped together as Nectophrynoides viviparus, until new analysis identified them as three different species 🐸🧪

The fact that there has not been proper outcry at the transformation of WH Smiths into TG Jones tells me everything I need to know about where this country is at now. I am old enough to remember the Choco Krispies protests of 1998.

Well I can't because my university assessment policies won't let me

Brits had the Class 325 EMUs and trains till 2024

it's not TGV Tuesday but it's come to light that not all of you know about how La Poste ran high-speed mail trains until 2015

I looked at the twenty-nine mentions of LOLITA in the Epstein emails released this week, and what they say about America today.

It’s too late. I’ve already depicted you as few synapses, tiny think, and myself as many synapses, big think. it’s over

Fascinating world of ancient #glass ! A small-scale but colourful mosaic glass inlay depicting an Ibis. This inlay, originating from a workshop in Roman-era Egypt, was discovered in Tawern, near Trier, Germany. The ibis was considered a sacred animal of Thoth, the Egyptian deity...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺

The irony here is that academics don’t just write the articles for free—we also referee and edit for them for free. Something is deeply broken. “New Zealand's eight universities spent $30-million a year on journal licences and about half of that sum went to Elsevier. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

All this #SnailPosting reminded me of the time I gathered up all the empty shells in the garden and did this... 🤷‍♂️🐌

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I mostly commend the Young V&A's baby and toddler section, but I personally wouldn't include the marble floor bit and the pebble floor bit in the "experience different sensory surfaces" next to all the soft bits

How do rain get so unevenly distributed over my trousers

My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

Emo lad I dated cancelled date saying his bat died. He was ultra goth so sounded plausible. On next meet said sorry about the dead bat & he said "no I meant my battery "

I don't actually know what Jeffrey Epstein was... like apart from a child abuser.... what was his job or whatever

Don't think I've ever seen "sickened" used non-metaphorically before apnews.com/article/byhe...

It's warm but also cold

Thinking about Brianna Ghey while reading this article on screen time and bullying. Labour are using her name to push for a crackdown on phone use among teens. But this research indicates increased screen time does *not* correlate with increased bullying for trans kids - unlike their cis peers.

If someone says “gender ideology” one more time like it means something, I’m going to lose my mind. Stop pretending like there’s not an entire scientific literature on gender identity and gender dysphoria. They’re trying to ban the teaching of that scientific literature.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. But some of us are looking at the stars and thinking about the gutter.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.
