We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

nothing says "we care about your privacy" more than sharing your data with 222 partners

The Burmese word for a fox, မြေခွေး, means “earth dog.” One of the Irish words for a fox, madra rua, means “red-haired dog.” The Navajo word mąʼii łitsooí means “yellow coyote.” And the South Estonian language Võro has, amongst others, the word sorrõhand. It means “fluent tail.”

It turns out my house is harboring an unknown number of wasps

OK so now would be a great time for the zillion little 'open the SIM tray' thingies I've carefully saved from each phone purchase to show up...

I asked someone recently if they thought I should be worried about my safety on the street.

Sometimes I really miss London

What happened to the last bag of cassettes I had knocking around?

So they don’t dance no more in clubs. And under 40s making music and so called bangers. The answer is make MOVEMENT MUSIC .. for new designed skating rinks . Dope sound systems, screens and DJs and MCs across the world. By Aug 1 my 65 ill be skating back to trick form after 2-3 more get downs lets

OK so I verified my age. But I didn't see WHAT age it thought I was...

Private Eye is one of those institutions that I have real difficulties with sometimes. Do I wish them gone? No. Do I wish them unchanged? Also no Bookworm is definitely one of their value-free bits though

This looks great, especially if like me, your Roman Empire is...the Roman Empire.

I cannot stand idiotic "what took them so long" "too little too late" comments It's late It's too little But there are 2 m people in risk of starvation and annihilation Your glib virtue signalling is not appreciated We need to stop this now and anyone who joins in opposition is welcome

"Let's go over this one more time." "I know what-" "ONE MORE TIME." "Fine." "What is it you're looking for?" "A garbage bag." "In which room?" "The kitchen." "What do you do when you find it?" "Bring it to you here." "I'm counting on you, Tim."

Woohoo the EU deal reintroduces the pet passport!

OK but you can't just say "an evil aristocratic family of the 18th century, the Lowthers" without telling us about the evil. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”

People are NOT 'like a virus'. We have the capacity to *think*, and to change our behaviour for the better. Human history is chock full of examples of this. If you want to persuade people to shift, telling them they're 'like a virus' could not be more counterproductive.

This is just such straight up trash

If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

The magic of a tropical rainforest. That a football pitch of this richest, most ancient of habitats is being turned into cattle pasture, palm oil plantation, or some other artificial deadzone every second of every day is utterly inconceivable. Yet it is the reality. We MUST change how we eat. 🌎

The last time white smoke came from the Sistine Chapel, I was watching it on TV in a hostel in San Pedro de Atacama, I think? Chilean TV were loving that the new Argentinian pope could be called 'Papa Pancho', someone had even knocked up a little song including a man dressed as a hot dog.

The way this is recorded is just amazing, it's like she's singing in a small room, sat next to you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uaw...

more seriously there's too much breathless reporting on the Vatican, which treats it like American politics it isn't. it's more like Italian politics, which are infinitely more chaotic and weird

Did..champagne and fruit write this study? Maybe helped by AI? It sounds like a plausible hallucination tbh. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It's funny how AI is probably accelerating enshittification faster than anything else in the last 5 years. I wonder how long it'll take until I just stop using most of the internet. I find myself just putting my phone down more and morelately.

we wouldn't be having a "male loneliness epidemic" if people would just remember you need to keep at least two of them per cage and make sure that they have proper enrichment activities like a wheel to run on and tubes to climb in and a substrate deep enough to tunnel into and hide treats

The thing to understand is that an LLM is not in any sense reading and understanding your words. It is not interpreting and producing “factual claims”; it is interpreting and producing “completions that are possible.”

Landowners release 50million pheasants a year into the British countryside - and a new study shows how this is boosting the number of ticks carrying Lyme disease www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com
