I love this. More buildings should have interiors designed by some kind of game of Mad Libs.

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Not content with beating Labour on perceived competence, economic management and leadership, the SNP have unveiled a bold new policy to outflank Anas Sarwar on “really really stupid responses to the global resource crisis”.

It's a depressing trend that 'progressive' parties – the Greens, now the SNP – are promoting fantasy economic policies. Seems not very intellectually healthy!

I feel like there are a number of quite obvious flaws with this announcement

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

Liam has reminded me of something I've been meaning to do for a while: Why "Beauvoir" and not "de Beauvoir"? A thread 🧵

"If me and all my friends are convinced up is down you need to put your "science" away or you're dumb and out of touch"

The Times has now become the Telegraph, the Telegraph has become the Spectator, the Spectator has become Spiked and Spiked has become a pamphlet distributed at a neo-nazi rally by a man with badly spelled tattoos.

The thing about the online anti-bedtime left is they - allegedly? - believe in things that take huge societal buy-in, like action of climate change or a functioning welfare state or full communism or whatever and then they also seem to believe societal trust…doesn’t matter?

New open access publication in Topoi! @kristinandrews.bsky.social and I explore the ethics of AI animal translation projects. 🖥️🐬Before we build it, we need to take stock of the ethical implications. rdcu.be/fbZwv 🧵👇1/13

Margaret Thatcher signed a (foam) hot dog bun at a Toledo, Ohio food chain and trying to imagine the process of this actually happening is breaking my brain

Big frogs are cool frogs, and the bigger the frog the cooler the frog (except when they’re on the west coast, then they’re very uncool) #herps

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

this owl looks like he was caught with multiple escorts at a hotel room during his daughter's wedding somewhere downstairs

The thing is, the science IS settled on these matters. The absurdly simplistic claim that White and Black people have innately different levels of intelligence is not supported by genetic evidence. Claiming settled science is not settled is a “merchants of doubt” strategy

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Harold Wilson’s looking good for his age (and for being dead for 30 years)

A White-throated Toucan works on making a snack out of a tropical nut. These birds are opportunistic and will eat fruit, insects, and small invertebrates. Waita Lodge, Cuyabeno Reserve, Ecuador #OpenBeak #BirdOfTheDay

Here is a close crop showing the details of the toucan’s eye. You can see a reflection of the rainforest there.

I know it’s spring now because I walked past 4 Groundhogs on my way home from work

“I have tried reading Nietzsche but it hasn’t helped”

What's great is that the entire last year has been No. 10 pushing the CMA to be more flexible, literally they fired people over it, in pursuit of balancing market concentration with investment and then they just stroll in here on the basis of a basic misunderstanding of price signals.

Just had this flagged with me. This is disgusting. If Kemi Badenoch had one ounce of leadership in her, she would condemn this. I don’t want any faux sadness from her or Nick Timothy when one of us is hurt or worse. This is how low the Conservative Party have sunk.

Reading about Kirisuto no Haka: a Japanese site that claims it's where JESUS CHRIST died (after his brother tricked everyone by dying on the cross instead and then Jesus moved to Japan), anyway, it ends with the most straightforward origin story for a store ever en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirisut...

the what problem

The saviour returned!

Nick Clegg unveiled a portrait of himself at the National Liberal Club yesterday and it's hard to tell which one looks less like Nick Clegg, the portrait of Nick Clegg or the actual Nick Clegg

Harriet Taylor Mill officially recognised as co-author of 'On Liberty'! dailynous.com/2026/03/19/o...

"Zombie" was about a bombing that killed a 3 year old and a 12 year old.

UK City of Culture is about finding a place with culture, which all of these places have, and then giving them funding to put on more cultural events and potentially rejuvenate the place. I don’t particularly like the place, being from nearby, but I feel like Blackpool is almost perfect for that??

Everyone agrees that academic freedom does not entail that any department *must* hire you. The repugnant (and scientifically vapid) views he expressed were said long before he was hired, so why does academic freedom magically attach after the offer letter is signed?

We go live to the AFCON final

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

For eight millions Indians, Paul Ehrlich meant forced sterilization.

People watching the Oscars could have instead been watching a baseball game that was ended by an ump deciding a ball 6 inches below the strike zone was actually a strike Give Baseball A Chance

Saw an Instagram reel of an American woman talking about her husband having two drinks at an airport lounge as though it was mildly embarrassing levels of indulgence and have never felt the stark differences between our cultures more.

there is very little that delights me more than a scientist who's decided they're going to stick up for some widely-reviled animal. www.animalcognition.org/2016/01/12/i...

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

Two of these panellists lost to the Greens after young voters did exactly the opposite of what this panel claims

The Conservative Party insists humans should go on banknotes. The British public demands banknotes be festooned with animals. There is only one possible solution to heal a divided nation: furries on banknotes.
