There seems to be a campaign at the moment of people claiming the sky is blue. I’ve seen it from multiple accounts. The message is so consistent in each that it looks organized to me.

I honestly have no words to describe how filthy and disgusting this government is

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

Oh cool AI is making it harder for employers to find good candidates AND it’s making it harder for jobseekers to find real jobs. Well done everyone.

The UK's Weimar republic vibes are just getting stronger and stronger

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Castle Rock v. Gonzales is, no joke, my Roman Empire. Once you learn the full details of this horrific case, you will never again be able to see policing as a force for safety or justice. It will permanently alter your understanding of state violence, gender, and race in this country.

Me showing my extremely offline husband only the best nonsense that the internet has to offer (mainly from @beardynoise.bsky.social and @ewacat.bsky.social )

The clouds have made the aurora look so haunted

Jupiter says trans rights

Maybe the James Bond chronology weirdos are onto something... Given Dr No aired in 1962, Bond really ought to be in his 90s by now, which means he could legitimately be played by 99 year old Dick van Dyke.

Right. Here's my big pitch: Muppet James Bond James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye Dominic Cooper as Bond Kermit M Frog Mrs Moneypiggy Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

Yeah I've absolutely seen someone wearing these glasses and using them to record someone who had specifically told us to only take photos, not film their performance. And if there was an LED light to show it was recording, it had been covered up. Fucking gross.

We are very happy to share the first part of our our LGBT+ History Month UK resources in collaboration with Pop'n'Olly! prideinstem.org/primary-scho...

Hopefully the next director of the BBC will take note of the fact that you can never ever capitulate enough to satisfy these right-wing maniacs, eventually they will demand your head regardless of how many other people you threw under the bus for them. I won't hold my breath though.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.

What are we doing to the planet - environmental catastrophe near Rye, East Sussex Campaigners have said before that the plastic micro beads or "nurdles" should be classified as hazardous same as oil, they cause just as much damage to marine life and birds

Taking some major psychic damage from having to use British trains after weeks of travelling in style across Japan

Very glad I cancelled my Paramount subscription, I love Star Trek but I hate McCarthyism much, much more.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Plastic flowers and foliage picked up from Cornish beaches.

PLEASE SHARE ⚠️ 23 hours left. YOU can help six families & a displacement camp, mostly kids, with: - Emergency healthcare for 3 women - Food - they’re all malnourished - Shelter - still homeless in the deadly cold, homes in shoot-to-kill zones - Newborn supplies for a baby THIS WEEK 10/1000

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

too big to fail speedrun

Such a mystery, what MASS DISABLING EVENT could have happened after 2019 to cause this?

So much of Labour’s comms is just weird and confusing at this point. Surely it’s really, really easy to decide to offer congratulations/support to a wildly popular left-wing candidate who has just pulled off a historic electoral victory

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I changed my name when I got married, smushed it together with my husband’s to make a whole new name for us. Hello, I’m now Joby Razzelliot

Staring down the end of my postdoc contract (2 months to go) with no jobs lined up after, realising that I won’t be a scientist for the first time in 8 years. It’s hard not to feel like I’ve failed.

Back from my honeymoon and about to tackle The Emails. Wish me luck

I’m here to announce that I am on board the scientific vessel Chikyu as a freelance Science Communicator for the IODP3 Expedition 502: Impact of Petit-Spot Magmatism on Subduction seismicity and global geochemical cycle. Help me shape the content of the project with this survey: lnkd.in/e97pPXgk

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world. That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today. So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based. Image by HEO (from above!) 🔭🧪

The sort of fundamental issue is that the enforcers of cissexist laws don't want to consider the actual ramifications of their policies on trans lives, they just don't want us to exist. Our existence is inconvenient and also gross, and so the realities of our lives don't matter.

📣 We are hiring! An education-focused Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Quantitative Biomedical or Biophysical sciences. It’s a chance to be a part of a team of single molecule /cellular biophysicists building a brand new undergraduate curriculum, here at UNSW in sunny Sydney. Happy to answer queries.

The idea of us attracting talent from the US in the aftermath of Trump's insane policies and funding cuts was always a fictitious pipe dream, when the government and our politics is geared towards repelling as much immigration as possible.

In Tokyo for my honeymoon so of course @beardynoise.bsky.social has organised a 21 course omakase meal for me and my husband to enjoy, complete with sparkler-studded dessert.

Sumo stars goofing about at tourist locations seems a more fun way to celebrate England than any number of flags.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory laid off 11% of its staff today, including many people working on an active Mars rover mission. “There’s no whitewashing the ‘doomsday-eve’ feeling that's looming over all our heads,” wrote one JPL’er. eos.org/research-and...

Yes. We know. That's the point of what's happened over the last decade and you helped us get here.

Did a wedding, got a husband, best day of my life!

I really want to make a custom biscuit roller/stamp that has the Ea-nāṣir cuneiform on it. That way I could make biscuit tablets complaining about the quality of 3700 year old copper.

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology
