We HAVE to get the techbros off the ayahuasca and back on regular old cocaine

A slightly grainy, zoomed-out photo of the launch of Artemis 2, showing the rocket plume climbing into the blue sky.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Me too!

Indeed! I love that first season. That long, long opening scene *chefkiss*

So envious you had the doll! I used to make the BIONIC noise when I was lifting heavy things as a kid

Here is his spy boss looking amazing

bionic astronaut becomes secret agent and does whatever his spymasters tell him to. He's currently rescuing an old cosmonaut mate from an earthquake-stricken Soviet island but unfortunately there's a seismically-triggered nuclear bomb countdown, the usual

I am so glad! Had the same kind of effect on me also

The usual siren voices are giving us Maginot Line thinking for a blitzkrieg world

Hybrid warfare - the kind we actually face - works by exploiting inequality, division and social breakdown. Disinformation finds purchase in communities that feel abandoned.

Basically it's way, way complicated watchingtheworldwakeup.blogspot.com/2008/04/dand...

In the footsteps of Linnaeus: scientists share their passion for species from tiny wasps to hairy plants – in pictures For his project ‘De Oförtrutna’ (The Relentless), photographer Christer Björkman pictured Swedish scientists working in the spirit of Carl Linneaus, the botanist who created the modern taxonomic syste...

All these people are great. But that one person whose specialism is dandelion reproduction? Reading that, I shook my head and sighed with fretful awe. It's a bonkers subject. A mycologist once told me that dandelion taxonomy genuinely frightened him.

Wow, well done on this painstaking work confirming overwinter success of Clouded Yellow. Can we claim this as our 61st resident butterfly species ? @richardfoxbc.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @patrickbarkham.bsky.social

Bonnie! @Bonnie Elephant I am going to have SEX tonight! RicksCEO.eth @RicksCEO. Alone or with somebody? Bonnie! @Bonnie Elephant I dont accept criticism or roasts from people who invest in CRYPTOCURRENCY!

For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.

one of the hardest science topics is explaining to a modern person that in the 1800s geologists were more popular than streamers are today books exploring topics like the history of a rock were doing multimillion print runs, & guys giving talks on igneous vs metamorphic were filling sports stadiums

"...these effects will accumulate over years, and by the time they are visible, they will be difficult to reverse," the study urges. "This is analogous to the ‘boiling frog’ effect, where each incremental act feels costless, until the cumulative effect becomes overwhelming to address.”

Just acquired these achingly cool guides to "Alternative London" by Nicolas Saunders from 1970/1.

"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

In case you're wondering why every fossil fuel funded populist is banging on about the need to 'drill baby drill' and to kill Net Zero.

Very flat whites this morning, presumably.

They never do but they balance it with an extravagant monobrow that’s somehow also a balaclava

Three photos of a feathered but unfledged Philippine Eagle chick bred by artificial insemination as part of a conservation breeding program. His beak is huge, his eyes blue, and he has an extraordinarily adorable air.

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

Too hot to handle? Why it’s time for straight male authors to rediscover sex It’s a high-wire act and the risk of an embarrassing failure can weigh heavily – but that’s no reason to avoid writing about sex, argues Black Bag author Luke Kennard

His own book sounds amazing tbh
