LOL, my town actually has free parking and people complain that they pedestrianised the High Street, which is <2 minute walk from the nearby free car parks. You can't win.

First people to complain about the state of the road and potholes too. Wonder what causes them?

LOL

Absolutely loving the bbc news introducing the proteasome. Proteins Absolutely hitting the big time.

That's what she said?

It's Rising Black Scientist award time again, long may it continue!

Are people downloading their data just incase perhaps?

What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

All I want for the new year is for people to stop calling everything a little bit computer-y 'AI' even when it's not AI in the slightest.

Groupama FDJ: We are a *World Tour* team, we are not just distilled Frenchness on bikes.

Valentin Madouas:

Every time they announce Landa is doing a grand tour I think this time, now is the time for Landismo.

First attempt at a leftovers biryani using @nigella.bsky.social recipe. Delicious! Much easier than it sounded!

"Whamageddon" can absolutely do one. Last Christmas is an incredible song. All royalties still to this day go to charity. It should be a Christmas song we purposely go out of our way to listen to, not to avoid.

One year anniversary of eating a whole bag of these at 3am on the postnatal ward and dropping 100s and 1000s on the new baby.

NO.

I noticed I have loads and loads of chemistry followers - you should add @jesspanch.bsky.social the Editor in Chief at Trends in Chemistry, and a lovely person besides.

I already know my Spotify wrapped will be the lambada (soothed the baby) and sledgehammer (too hard to explain). Which will win though?

Television showing a snowy scene with the title Misery in red text.

Tenner too, in this day that's a bargain.

You need to be in the WhatsApp for that

Little birthday cider with a puzzled ducking. 40s ok so far.

The other place looks knacked at the moment like. Suspicious timing.

I think the other place might have crashed

A glorious autumn morning. Also bin day, taking a moment to appreciate the relatively low bin volume.

Did you change the settings to change 'number of likes in replies' to 0? It really louded up after I did that.

I'm quite enjoying flipping between the both. Twitter for the febrile BP spiking takes, and bluesky for the impressing people in the student canteen vibe.
