Meet the world’s only venomous primate, the slow loris! 👀 They might look cute, but they’re hiding a dangerous bite - and don’t even ask where they keep the venom… Hear Museum scientist Zach Williams explain in this week’s Surprising Science!

Another example George w bush loves to play pretend that he's a 'dumb redneck' meanwhile he graduated from a ivy league school Harvard Business School specifically. Meanwhile his father George H.W. Bush was a oil baron and a former president and the former head of the cia under Ronald Reagan.

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave

😔

Step One. Peel about 2kg of Maris Piper potatoes. Maris Piper work best for this, as they have a high starch content. Keep peeled potatoes in lightly salted water after peeling. (Yes, I'm actually doing this step by step on the socials)

An interview piece with Gavin Newsom where he gives his views on what he sees as purity tests? I can't wait to read that, just as soon as I've finished hammering these matchsticks under my fingernails

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Wow, so the number of forced ballots was more than half of the total that either Labour or Reform got? That amount should be really easy to prove

The police aren't involved because no report has actually been made. The Mail is - shock horror - lying.

And from newspaper magnates who don't feel obliged to pay tax in the UK but wanting to dictate policy there.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

I'm no fan of Max Landis but that supposed quote of his about taking inspiration from Chuck Dixon is, so far as I can tell, totally made up

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

As ever, I don't imagine myself representative of anyone but me. But if I'd had a vote in Gorton I'd have agonised, then done whatever felt most likely to stop Goodwin. After Starmer and Mahmoud's responses I now feel quite motivated to vote *against* Labour?

Even if this were true STUPID PEOPLE HAVE THE VOTE, GUYS bsky.app/profile/mcke...

This might surprise people who aren't from the UK, but over here there's a publication that, in order to write for it, you have to be a sex offender.

What’s bothering me is this idea that Urdu speakers and Muslims are like baby birds who will imprint on whoever speaks to them and so it’s somehow cheating to do so. (Image from the Spectator)

Yeah, having now slept on it properly, it is weird that no losing parties statement really reckons with why people might have chosen the Greens and instead they all chose to blame sectarianism. It does suggest that they still don't really recognise people who vote Green as, you know, real people.

Left wins: "people are too gullible, so easily tricked by these populists" or "they certainly used questionable methods of persuasion" Far-right wins: "stop questioning! that's the will of the people!"

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

Welp, the shootout in Cuba was ten Florida Cuban guys who talked themselves into trying to invade Cuba www.wfla.com/news/florida...

hello! it's me, certified consumer of The Nasty Bits of farm animals (search my account for tips on how to cook livers, hearts, testicles, tongues, and bones!) and all that shit has also doubled or even tripled in price per pound since 2021, that oil-basted denim lich RFKjr can go fuck himself

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

Heartwarming: two of the worst people etc.

To be absolutely clear: this is the lowest percentage of the vote in a by-election for the Conservatives or Tories since the party was founded at the time of the Glorious Revolution in 1689.

So @cathynewman.bsky.social has exposed the transphobic views of the head of the Puberty Blocker trials and he's gone. Shame the MHRA's quick action hasn't been mirrored by quick action against the much criticized Cass review. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Hey, while you’re here, I wrote a follow-up piece after interviewing Lio, the trans dude who saved the infant in Chicago. Meet the stand-up comedian who's embarrassed by all the media attention he's getting. www.advocate.com/news/people/...

We’ve elected a new Lemmy

Labour had a, small, chance of potentially turning their downward spiral around today by doing a massive mea culpa, and announcing a scrapping of their hostile policies. Starmer's unhinged rant doubling down though makes it even more likely they will lose more seats. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I really can't emphasize enough that you are a complete freak if you care about Boy Scout genitals

underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing

"Oh I never vote, it just encourages them haw haw haw"

Its like goddamn clockwork, first you rant about trans people and within 2 years you're a nazi

Holds up

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

If only there were an internationally-adored long-running British TV show that laughed off accusations of 'wokeness', and embraced big-name guest starts while pretty much guaranteeing them a lifelong income via some sort of convention scene, and was actually looking for a new lead actor...

Oh yeah now we're talking

IF THEY TRY TO MAKE ME LIVE IN A SLIGHTLY LESS SHIT BRITAIN I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

I don't think religion is a NEW face of misogyny.

While I love the concept of the "Sloppy Joe", the name is far too overfamiliar for my prudish British ears. I prefer to call it by its more formal name, Slopular Joseph.

we should absolutely encourage the armed forces to keep downing CBP drones, I just personally don't think they need Claudes for that when they're doing so well on their own

I come not to praise Claude or whatever but giving unaccountable robot decisionmaking to thundering dipshits who just shot down their own drone with a laser does seem like wrong side of history business

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

the Labour party trying to paint a picture of why you shouldn't vote Green and it's "everyone will take drugs all the time and also engage in fundamentalist Islam" of course people voted for that, it's Dune. you've invented Dune!

I get that there was a pushback against edgy content for edginess sake, but I think we pivoted too far into respectability and I need horror that isn't afraid of being banned in several countries. I need you guys to get a little bit more daring with it. I require a healthy level of bad taste.
