The first rule of Anagram Club is muck laudably orangutan boat too.

I am always saying this, phpBB forums and IRC were the peak of the internet

This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

Ume, the tapir calf, is the perfect, pretty little baby! 🩷

I guess people like car-free streets once they get a taste of them? 🤷

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

Honey I’m afraid Yurtel went bust and now we’re yurtless for our glamping. No they didn’t take credit card. Anyway we’re out over ten thousand pounds and they’re not doing refunds

Great internship opportunity for a current MSc/PhD student 👀👀👀‼️ A chance to work on evolutionary simulations for a few weeks in Kyoto with a rising (risen?) star in artificial life research, @sinalana.bsky.social ...

🧵 This is a perfect example of how disordered discourse reshapes democratic politics, not by policy failure, but by the performative targeting of identity. Let’s unpack what’s happening.

This is so ridiculously harmful and has nothing to do with protecting women. It is about social hygiene and the fact that some people think sex work is gross. And it has massive knock on effects.

Transplanting some stuff in the garden. Safe to say this radish is ready for harvest!

When we found this out on the other place, a few of us (actually mainly me and @christhebarker.bsky.social) started putting it into other classic movies.

According to self-report surveys, death does not exist. 100.0% of survey respondents were currently alive and had never died.

www.thecroftbristol.co.uk let's bring back The Croft, it was amazing. I've already bought my shares www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/own-our-ve... , get on it.

I do not understand why the ICO allows these obnoxious cookie tools. This is @newscientist.com, but it's far from the only offender. There are dozens of these "legitimate interests" toggles, which are not immediately visible, and which have to be turned off one by one.

I remember detecting subtle or indirect negation being a problem when doing much more basic NLP on clinical free texts during my PhD. A bit disappointing to see it's still a big problem with the "latest and greatest" models. Coded data may lose some of the details but by god is it easier

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

These days it helps to look for the beacons of light and the helpers. Keith Haring's art has so much joy and impact, even during the dark 1980s in NYC. I found out he has a stamp so I bought 4 sheets. (I wish it had his signature so everyone would learn more about him)

Double yellow lines? “Nah, don’t worry about it” A segregated bike lane? “Nah, don’t worry about it” These dockless vehicles are out of control. Local councils should ban these motor cars from the roads until owners can be trusted to only use the designated parking bays

Bike Park Wales was ludicrous fun. Can't believe I've never been when it's only like an hour away

"Should we aim to dehumanize LLM-based systems, given concerns over anthropomorphic seduction?" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40378006/ Maybe this is why the robots in Star Wars are so wacky looking. It's a deliberate design choice to nerf robot social skills

Adam Conover got famous for promoting critical thinking in his show “Adam Ruins Everything.” Now he’s getting paid to promote an orb that scans your eyeball in exchange for crypto currency, which was trained on poor villagers in Africa and Southeast Asia. Yes, really. skepchick.org/2025/05/adam...

I've got an amazing story about this one. Let me tell you all about how "If you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to worry about" almost got me charged with unlawful possession of a minigun. 1/?

Aerodynamically, the bumblepig should not be able to fly. So it's no surprise that it doesn't.

Sun readers don't know fucking anything. Sun readers are thicker than a boxing day turd. Sun readers could be outwitted by a literal turnip, an actual dirt-grown root vegetable. If I wanted to gather a pack of stupid fucking cunts together I'd source exclusively from readers of the Sun.

Faggots for tea, boys

no he didn't that's not him what the fuck is wrong with you freaks
