Poor Deimos, described by the Guardian as 'small and lumpy'. RUDE. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

When you miss a crucial step in the recipe www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

This made me cry a little bit (in a good way).

literally every time I talk to friends

I'm 5,000 miles away from this news story, but listening to a foghorn right now. Over the years I've grown to find it comforting. Still feel sorry for the poor folks near Land's End in Cornwall though! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This piece resonates even more after seeing that disgraceful display in the Oval Office. Nothing describes Trump better than "changeable, highly emotional, susceptible to whatever he last heard and clearly instinctively pro-autocrat." Thank you Ian for giving me a little hope.

Oh good, another day where it's extremely fucking embarrassing to be an American. #StandWithUkraine

Felt my despair lift a little bit after reading this: robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reason...

Only 10 days into this administration and I find myself rooting for asteroid oblivion www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I don't know why it was so hard for Democrats to find a camera first and say, "It took barely a week for this administration to get people killed because they fired qualified experts." "There are no survivors from one of the worst aviaition disasters in history and the blame lies with TRUMP."

Tina Brown is never boring, but her latest is especially brilliant, particularly "In his seven decades of global media power, Murdoch has degraded journalism on three continents and given us a president who has made transactional cynicism the new normal". tinabrown.substack.com/p/melanias-m...

I am so tired of finding out when I was not the one who fucked around.

Undisputably the hottest tv kiss of all time

Irrationally irritated that this headline is not 'drunk-flying' a drone www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
