Just a reminder that Keir Starmer might be crap but will never ever be as dreadful as the previous 5 prime ministers. I mean, come on.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

university is SUPPOSED to challenge your beliefs! unless of course your belief is that trans people are awful, in which case awwww poor ickle baby, did the nasty mean people exist near you, awwwww poor baby, here let me give you a book deal and a podcast so you can tell us how scared you were

I’m sorry, you’re telling me Dungeness isn’t in Scotland. Are you high? It’s the most Scottish sounding place I’ve ever heard of. Get it moved! x

Tweet from Elon Musk: "*Soros Organization has taken over Hungary"

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

A 2022 tweet from @agraybee Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses." 7:48 PM.Jun 17, 2022

This remains undefeated:

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

Taking off your clothes so your debate opponent's eyes pop out and they howl like a cartoon wolf is known as an ad homina homina hominem

I was thinking this morning how both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan would have been delighted to see a Westward-looking, centre-right party defeat a pro-Russian autocrat in a former Eastern Bloc country.

Same same. Only read a couple, but never had him down as a fash-defender.

Iranian official: (shushing the giggling in the background) Uh yeah, the only person we'll negotiate with is JD Vance

Ha! It's the only gear most of us narcissistic neurotic clowns have, but by thunder what a gear!

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Write down five bullet points that sum up your feelings of the trip.

Get them printed on laminated A5 card and hand them out - wordlessly - to anyone who asks.

Tremendous work to the team at Tunnocks teacakes for bagging the Artemis II sponsorship deal.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Why not buy something for the kids this easter and help an indie bookshop keep going? Highly recommend this one by @athenakugblenu.bsky.social with art by Nicole Miles. #KidLitUK #Booksky

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

What a fucking weird vibe tonight is. He probably isn't going to unleash a nuke, but we've spent the last decade saying "he probably won't do X..." and then he does.

Bizarre globally existential merrineum vibes.

Let me also note that the Germans had a generation traumatized by war and the Great Depression. The Americans had… a Black president and #metoo

For almost a century generations of scholars and thinkers have tried to understand why the Germans sleepwalked into disaster. Future generations will focus on a different case.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.

My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda:

The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

"Thank you Houston, instruments went a little funny just now but we're in the green. Please tell President Harris we're on our way home."

A series of three tweets: Rabbi Akiva Weisinger @MisfitTorah 1) For those wondering why I, an Orthodox Rabbi, am outraged by the Texas trans law, aren't I supposed to stand up for Torah Values or whatever A thread: 2) I don't like it when kids kill themselves. 3) End of thread.

Just going to leave this here.
