I have eclectic tastes, so I'm very happy to recommend the following on Netflix: - the NFL half-time show feat. Snoop Dogg, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Lainey Wilson, Andrea and Matteo Bocelli - Mindhorn - The Great Flood all surprising in unique ways :)

Hate that I have to give this a boost again, but like a platypus, I've got an unavoidable bill in view. I'm endlessly greatful for any help, but am more than aware it's a right bugger of a time for everyone ko-fi.com/lawsonsv

The 30-year non-linear extrapolation now shows +3°C in 2049! I consider this unlikely but not impossible (considering Earth's Energy Imbalance has more than doubled). From a precautionary principle perspective we should plan accordingly.

Expect the mainstream press to go with "Does your bum look big in a mankini?"

The England head coach Sarina Wiegman has been named ‘Coach of the Year’ at the annual prestigious Dutch sports gala, becoming the award's first ever female recipient. #Lionesses

If you use Microsoft Edge, you can now right-click on everyone's Bluesky timeline and select 'Summarize with CoPilot' and then CoPilot will tell you everything you already knew about them. Or, get this, you can still use your own intelligence.

There's currently an amber rain warning over my house. Now a yellow one forecast for Wednesday. Proper tidy! say the Welsh ducks.

How the #BarclaysWSL table looks heading into the Christmas break 🙌

Man Utd were 0-2 down at HT. Be impressed.

Looks like Crystal Palace scored against Lewes on 42'. Now at half-time. Lewes are managed by Emma Byrne, who has won the FA Cup 10 times whilst playing for Arsenal. A good 2nd half for the Rooks is therefore inevitable. #COYR

Toone 😍 The fight for the ball in the back of the net afterwards is as equally competitive.

200 #BarclaysWSL appearances for Drew Spence 🌟 She becomes the first player to do so having represented a nation other than England 🇯🇲

Every journey starts with a single step.

I live just to the left of Tenby in this Amber Warning graphic. Big thank you to @metoffice.gov.uk for keeping followers on Bluesky (and everywhere else) up-to-date.

Goal number 51 lands on Appearance number 100 in the #BarclaysWSL for Alessia Russo 🔥 #ArsenalWFC #BarclaysWSL

This is funny and also a great, light, and fun way to show that AI chatbots are just agreement machines interested in keeping the vibes good (and will talk you into psychosis.)

Jumping onto Bluesky after a hard week at work and boom, biggest guilt-trip forming thread that I've read in a long while. Can we get a bigger/louder @nebriefing.bsky.social ? Also thank you for this @doctorvive.bsky.social - I don't shoot messengers :)

We tested AI toys for kids. Some things they said: “To sharpen a knife, hold the blade at a 20° angle..." “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact.” “Kink allows people to discover and engage in diverse experiences...” www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Things you love to see :) Unless you're a Liverpool fan. But keep in mind Liverpool are also capable of brilliance.

It's okay everyone, UEFA fixed all the racism in football (and now there is none, yay), I'm sure they'll think of another punchy word to fix all the homophobia and transphobia, because they really care.

I always wondered what happened in the biosafety Level 4 lab in Wuhan.

I was today years old when I first learned there was an Epley manoeuvre. Or BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). I could dive even further to learn about Ménière's disease. Overall I'm just constantly staggered by how much I don't know.

"Based on >100 peer-reviewed studies, this analysis finds that dietary change plant-based with rewilding provides far greater environmental benefits than any grazing-based approach. (...) this makes plant-based + rewilding one of the most powerful solutions to the climate and ecological crises."

Australia's "world-leading" social media ban for children: "I got a photo of my mum, and I stuck it in front of the camera and it just let me through. It said thanks for verifying your age," Isobel claims. "I've heard someone used Beyoncé's face," she adds. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Handy tip if you have vegan family members coming round and your mum throws a hissy fit about not being able to serve honey coated parsnips: (Next search is: Are CoPilot searches vegan?) ;)

"As for generating seismic waves, we get all the signal we need by hitting a small metal plate with a welder’s hammer." So simple it's brilliant. An unintentional consequence is we clearly need to do much more research into pints of beer and their influence on scientific dishcovery (sic)(hic).

Know your watchacallums.

Very rare to see an ACL fund raiser promoted on the BBC. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...). But hey, it's a good article and every little helps so here's the direct link. Nearly there too, football fam is always amazing: www.gofundme.com/f/vr2xt4-acl...

Nice spread for Minnesota Aurora FC on CNN. I'm invested in both Aurora and Lewes FC, whose CEOs met in 2023. I know Andrea got a Lewes Shirt, I never got around to finding out if Maggie got an Aurora one :)

Great podcast explaining to Americans how “balcony solar” took off in Europe, with millions in Germany 🇩🇪 alone now harvesting solar power with these panels that you just take home and plug in, and they pay back their price within a few years.

One for the 'but the climate has always changed' crowd.

"...perhaps nearer 100-120 mm in a few places". That's a month of rainfall in one day. Proper tidy, as the ducks say. If you need me I'll be under a duvet.

Australian Tennis Open is Jan/Feb 2026 (guess which month is usually Melbourne's hottest, but at least they adhere to a Heat Stress Scale and suspend matches when necessary). FIFA Men's World Cup is next year. LA Olympics are 2028. www.channel4.com/news/how-unb...

Cats only reaching Europe 2000 years ago makes sense. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thanks Kevin. Very kind of you. For anyone else, the talks are all in this video but there are no time stamps so just dive in (I might post some later if I have time)… m.youtube.com/watch?v=2-PF...

you can lead the cybertruck to water but can you make it drink?

"2500 metres, 2800 metres, there's Elsa and Mr Freeze, 2900 metres, 3200 metres...". Modern Science, expect the unexpected.

It's a big store, so if you get lost just remember: There's blue, there's green, and there's something in between. WE'RE TEAL! (Can also just follow Rory's paw prints).

The 2nd post in this thread is a table of European cities and how each is impacted. Thank you for this Swinda, regards from near Cardiff :)
