I resent every single second of my life that is taken up by being forced to know what a vengeful man child in the US is thinking.

a teenage boy just made it clear to me that he thought the shirt im wearing was advertising the two separate concepts of guns and of roses

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

There is a tension between the uni critical view that university exists to produce day one work ready graduates who should be experts in [dice roll] AI and the uni critical view that it exists as a debate club where [dice roll] engineering students should be shocked and offended on a daily basis.

I've only seen a couple of episodes (I don't really watch chat shows), but this is such a mean-spirited review that it's made me annoyed

Please, Starmer is nothing like a Bond villain. They always have a very clear plan which they enjoy explaining at length.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

This was my "Is there a doctor of philosophy on the plane?" moment.

People routinely allowed in NHS women’s wards without question: - cis male doctors - cis male nurses - cis male porters - cis male cleaners - cis male catering staff - cis male visitors Etc, ad infinitum List of people who should be banned from said wards, for some reason: - Trans women patients

I've taken to listening to Nick Abbot's show while doing mundane or household tasks, and now I can't stop automatically calling it the Bend of Hormuz.

Me, sowing an electoral system so I can get a constitution-amending supermajority on a smaller share of the vote: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, reaping an electoral system where they can get a constitution-amending supermajority on a smaller share of the vote: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Was it only four days ago The Telegraph comment pages were gazing into their tea leaves ?

Given how many people predicted he would do a Trump/Bolsonaro this is pleasingly normal. He’s gone

Can stupid idiots please stop doing stupid things and let the rest of us live our lives non-chaotically.

America had never been better off than it was in 2024 and a majority of Americans still felt the world owed them a better deal, and were willing to elect a corrupt sex pest who'd tried to overthrow their democracy to get it. That needs to be reckoned with. Vibecession feels like a way to dodge it.

My crim professor had to end class early the day we went over sexual assault bc the men in a large lecture hall which was mostly men kept asking the most horrific questions indicating they were just realizing they’d committed sexual assault under the law and deciding the problem was the law not them

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

Remembering when the BBC covered the fuel crisis at UK petrol stations by sending a reporter called Phil McCann

Just mind-blowing that there are some people who were on the other side of the Moon a few days ago.

They appear to be landing Integrity with some Tunnock's Tea Cakes

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

Can confirm. Overheard a middle schooler telling her friends, “nah forget him, he’s AI” about a boy who asked one of them out

There is absolutely no way anyone in the White House has actually bothered to read this list.

My new lock screen ❤️

Doing my stupid little Duolingo exercises while I wait to see whether he really will do it.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

This is a far simpler answer than people would like to believe. Trump issues the order via the National Military Command Center to the commander of Strategic Command, and then STRATCOM carries it out directly. There is no second vote, no veto, no check-and-balance.

Trump belongs in a secure psychiatric facility, not the White House.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

soothing the president with AI generated footage of explosions seems like an ethical high pressure use case of the technology

It's surprising to me how little discussion in the UK there is of the massive progress there has been of making the economy less natural gas dependent. Gas is just 3% of electricity generation today. Total gas use fell by 26% from 2022 to 2024, after Russia invaded Ukraine

OK, America, surely it's time for the 25th Amendment now.

My favourite thing about the live broadcasts from Artemis II is the way one of the astronauts is always lying sideways throughout.

Alright, Granddad, let's get you back to bed

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

all of the lessons of the Trump era are the type you’d learn from a children’s book. you tried to use bullying to get what you want, but you alienated your allies, oh no! you have learned the power of friendship.

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar generation saved UK from gas imports worth £1bn in March 2026 📈Wind+solar were up 22% year-on-year in March to a record high for the month ⛴️This avoided the need for gas imports worth £1bn at current high prices www.carbonbrief.org/...

This is NOT what I signed up for

I'd completely forgotten about "call a Bondulance"

The news about large teenage gatherings in Clapham has triggered a memory of that brief period when there were clowns loitering around? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_cl...
