Looking at these is making me feel like someone violently ripped me from the 80s and plonked me into 2026.

I still have some coco pops stickers 🥹

This was her as a child...

It’s the much-missed Sean Lock’s birthday

Little free gifts in cereal boxes!

Using less plastic for them now though.

The joy of an ET sticker falling into your cereal bowl with your Shredded Wheat has never been matched.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

That’s a catastrophe for the ages that one 😂

@neathkev.bsky.social it’s objectively funny to see Arsenal bottle the league. If you were us you would agree.

I respect your right to laugh at us for losing to a crappy Spurs side in Bilbao because that is also funny.

City fans hate that we don’t care when they win. Which is the most funny.

So do I if I’m honest. He seems to have displayed quite prattish behaviour in his professional and personal life.

But I’m not used to hearing United fans boo ex players. I don’t like it personally.

Bagsy having the PPE contract to save innocents from this plague.

They are an asset management company, not a football club, with no redeeming features.

Respect the hustle.

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

I’m really not claiming conspiracy, but all this in one season is impressive

I used to work with a guy who had an elaborate theory about how American evangelicalism is a uniquely American folk religion with a somewhat tenuous connection to Christianity as the rest of the world practices it. I should see what he thinks about the news lately.

If you pause the footage *there* you can see the exact moment he makes contact with the opponent’s scrunchie.

Straight red for me.

Called it ‘shocking’ and noted how it was the ‘second game running’

🤮

Middle child was born in Leeds.

Not even sure I love her right now.

Loud boos (not me) but no one booed the players down the tunnel.

Agree it’s general frustration rather than at individuals. There are too many individuals to single out!

I'm fed up of seeing drivers texting or reading from a phone ***while driving*** (and it's also unacceptable if you're stopped in traffic). If you are driving, it's very simple: you are in charge of a 1+ ton killing machine, so don't touch your phone. Ever. No, not even "insert excuse here".

Well I thought I’d miss the match today as I’m in London for work. But I finished early and now it looks like Cinderella shall go to (watch) the (foot)ball!

Buzzing ⚽️♥️

What an interesting job. Feel like you should do an ‘ask me anything’ where we get to interrogate you 🌱
