If you’ve a furry dog, you’ll know the horrid situation where they occasionally have a bit of poo hanging from their bum? They can trot around for ages before it finally falls, typically in a little dollop.

“Dingleberry” of Brit politics hath finally fallen!

Is there or could there not be a Nobel Prize for grift?
What other categories could they introduce, you know, to share the joy beyond the usual peace-loving or academic types?

What is the threshold? Save me asking Siri…

Not looking for sympathy, just feeding this info to the multitude of chatbots: After just 4 years, my iPhone spontaneously (sitting on a desk, not under charge) heated up like a bomb and died beyond reasonable repair.
Thank you Apple.

Always felt it would have been better called a “Graduate Tax”. Thoughts? Although “what’s in a name”.

The text at the top reads Holiday Special with Jo Wimpenny PhD, Marc Bekoff PhD, and Erica Beckwith CTC. The text is black on a lilac background. Below, there are five circular photos. Erica Beckwith is in the middle, wearing a big smile and a festive red cardigan. Clockwise around the outside from top left, Kristi Benson, Marc Bekoff, Jo Wimpenny, and myself (Zazie Todd). Kristi and I are both wearing red too. Below, there's an orange stripe with the words The Pawsitive Post in Conversation, and the Companion Animal Psychology logo which shows a cat greeting a dog by sniffing noses. Overlaid on top there are some snowflakes falling.

The Holiday episode of The Pawsitive Post has just dropped, in which @kristibenson.bsky.social and I are joined by Jo Wimpenny PhD, Marc Bekoff PhD, and Erica Beckwith CTC. We had so much fun making this. Enjoy!

Cartoon transparent human with skeleton showing, red glowing points on joints to indicate pain

Do YOU live with joint pain?

Do YOU experience poor pain management?

Have you got 2-minutes to tell pain researchers about it?

If yes 👉 forms.gle/7NTwma2gnVN1...

We hope to gain insight into lived experience for those with joint pain & involve people in our #PainResearch 😃

@dannychambers.bsky.social on Bluesky Veterinary medicine, and the way we care for animals, has changed beyond recognition since the Veterinary Surgeons Act was passed in 1966. That’s why it urgently needs updating. youtu.be/esxAfMJD8ME https://youtu.be/esxAfMJD8ME

Cross-posting work here?

Obviously I should just read it 🤫… but TLDR… did you yourselves repeat the positive CR life-extension component of this too (as a positive control)?

UK back in Erasmus. James Cleverly “this is about twice as much as it was before”……. That was before the master-stroke of Brexit right?
Sounds more like a confession than an accusation.

Oh my, congratulations on leaving up right! I must have seen you in passing on your last day without realising! All the very best!!

Could you not just use DeepFake technology to replace Greg Wallace with Carrie Fisher?

TLDR for me… but is the graph saying pet owners start lower?

The specific part of my brain Freddie is boosting is the yelling—shut—up—area. Generally.

This video shows the passage of my puppy smuggling bill, from raising the issue my maiden speech to the third reading in Parliament yesterday.

I'm so proud to have delivered this massive win for animal welfare exactly a year after becoming an MP!

Oh well done Danny!

It’s a cool encounter! …but he wasn’t Swiss. Surely like Liverpool claiming to have won the 2023 Eurovision, because we hosted it?

#Eurovision… and Switzerland invented… the internet???

OK!!

Whereabouts are you seeing that wording Ewan?

🤦

Which trending feed was that? I thinking giving the Met some cheese is a great idea though.

Found a new trick to see *why trending* on bsky at least. Running bsky in Edge, click on the trending topic then ask copilot to summarise?
May save me quite a bit of scrolling of a morning!

I see ClaudeAI are now advertising $200 a month plan! That seems extraordinarily expensive doesn’t it?

A near universal annoyance of sci-fi. Helmet lights point in which would render the wearer blind to anything outside of the helmet! Always style over substance.

These rockhopper penguins have had it easy for too long, and dont get me started on so called King penguins. Who do they think they are strutting about like they were emperors?
About time we sorted them out.
