Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.

I'm noticing a few photos of Earth and none of the moon, the place they are theoretically going to. I love posting pictures of my home when I go on holidays 🙄

MERRY EASTER!!

Christina Hendricks spinning Spiritualized is canonically how the Sirens tried to lure Odysseus

Just teleported to Waffle House. It works. Stop being mean to that guy.

First new photo from the moon:

Someone is taking the piss over at Marvel or Lucasfilm, or they've just ran out of creativity for Jedi names.

With God and Waffle House, all things are possible.

If they want to reboot the Dumb and Dumber franchise, I have a couple of suggestions.

#StormDave is a proper working class storm . Double time on a bank holiday and knows not to come whooshing up your driveway on a bin day as his mates would have to clean it up . Prob drives a white van ?

I hope i live long enough to see this wicked creature emerge from the sea to threaten us all.

Great article here about the Irish Military Intelligence Service. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

A Caturday post that cannot be topped.

Did you know? In the Victorian era, competitive walking drew enormous crowds and turned ordinary people into national celebrities. Pedestrianism was one of the most widely followed sports of the 19th century. #Victorian #history

Meanwhile, on the moon...

Its Easter. That psychotic Mel Gibson film where the guy gets beaten to death by Romans over the course of two hours better be on TV.

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

This heartbreaking footage of Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk preparing for tournaments amid air raid sirens and missile attacks is a stark reminder that russians shouldn't be allowed to participate in international sporting events until they stop their genocidal war and are brought to justice

Hundreds of UK soldiers exposed at military bases… by their Strava workouts inews.co.uk/news/hundred...

We are rebuilding our whole economy around an instrument that has roughly the same chance of being right as a coin toss.

Whilst it's funny, there's something distastefully juvenile about the emerging norm of states at war ragging on each other via social media. Imagining what that catty bitch Napeoleon would have been like had he had access to X.

turns out hell is in space www.404media.co/artemis-2-as...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Arresting flag guys allows them to pose as the victims they desperately want to be Dumb move.

jamescrossland.substack.com/p/the-origin... Going back this week to one of the most fascinating things I've ever researched - Felice Orsini's attempt to kill Napeolon III with a specially-made IED in 1858. Otherwise known as, the first modern terrorist attack #history 🗃 📚

www.theguardian.com/business/202... Anxiously anticipating Starmer delivering a speech wherein we are urged to make bathtub jet fuel from a blend of store-brand lager and tears shed over the growing cost of flights to Spain.

The literal opposite of spicy 🌶️.

We should find out whose idea it was to play loud commercials at gas pumps, and beat them with baseball bats.

Note to England - waking up and deciding to play at the 86th minute mark isn't a winning strategy

Typical Tuesday in 2026

www.standard.co.uk/news/politic... Can we also reintroduce letters of marque and chain shot? If we're doing high seas piracy, let's at least do it properly 🗃

Today I learned about the legend of "Unsinkable Sam", a cat that apparently served in both the Royal Navy and the Kiregsmarine, surviving the sinking of the Ark Royal, the Cossack and the Bismarck. Cats are better than us. 🗃

'You think the ancient Romans were smart? Look at how dumb their numbers were. One theory of why they declined and fell is that their plumbing was lead. The root of our word plumbing is plumbum, the Latin word for "lead". Lead poisoning makes people stupid and lazy. What’s your excuse?'

I'm prepared to surrender Wikipedia to the AI bots, if they promise to spare humankind from the torturous future dystopia they have planned for us.

Predicting that this will be the next great existential crisis. From the 1980s onwards, we all got used to cheap food. That reality is done. The knock-on effects will be many, various and severe.

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

It was a pelasure to vent with @historyrage.bsky.social about the arch conspiracy theorist Nesta Helen Webster - a lady who's got a fucking lot to answer for. 🗃 #history

Respectfully, I don't think cooking together is romantic. Please move tf out of my way

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation. But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times. Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.” Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

Goodwin isn't dumb - he's just embraced the lazy far right grift of putting out empty polemic books, safe in the knowledge that people thicker than him will buy them.

"Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour Pingu?"

This is Swaltersky’s Poster for today.

He also gave money to the Italian nationalist, Felice Orsini, to fund his attempt to kill Emperor Napoleon III with this very ugly looking bomb. Busy boy, that Holyoake.

An absolute blast being on @historysdevils podcast tonight with @jamescrossland.bsky.social . We talked infamous (or not infamous enough) Victorian Poisoner Mary Ann Cotton. Check it out towards the end of April, and follow History's Devils wherever you get your podcasts jamescrossland.subst...

New local pizza place has a radically different ordering system: you call them, order a pizza, and then they bring it to you. No app, no subcontractors, just a teen who smells vaguely of weed bringing you a pizza. Innovative!

📢 On this week's episode, we weigh the evidence for and against Francis Tumblety being Jack the Ripper. In the process, we reflect on how easy it is to move bits of evidence around to create a new suspect, ensuring the "hunt" for the killer will continue forever #history 🗃 links in bio 🎧

It should never be forgotten that MEL BROOKS had the World Premiere of BLAZING SADDLES (1974) take place at the Pickwick Drive-In Theater in Burbank, Los Angeles for 250 invited guests - ALL ON HORSEBACK.
