#FossilFriday The Altamura Neandertal wp.me/p4Bi9E-1qO

Every day a new Rubicon

Tonight's Late Show With MIckey Bradley at 10.04pm on BBC Radio Ulster has music from Milkmaiden, White Plains, The Leaking Machine, The Slits, Jive Bombers, Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. A sad week for music... Join in @mickeyundertone.bsky.social on Bluesky.

4°C/7.2°F of warming by 2084. Whether or not you understand what that means, understand that we CAN AND MUST rapidly phase out fossil fuels, because failing to do so is a death sentence for most people and life on Earth. This is not a drill.

Day 197 of daily nationwide protests in Georgia. 10:30 PM. Protesters in Tbilisi have blocked both the Rustaveli Avenue AND a major intersection on Chavchavadze Avenue, in the city center. It seems like we're staying the night here.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Ok. I don’t know how many alarms this is. It’s all of them.

Hard wetenschappelijk bewijs gevonden dat onkruidverdelger glyfosaat bij laboratoriumratten kanker veroorzaakt. Zou dit nog iets uitmaken voor minister Wiersma, die op “meer onderzoek” zat te wachten? Of is onderzoek alleen belangrijk als het helpt bij uitstel, en feiten alleen als ze goed uitkomen?

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Reporter: “What real leverage do you have to make Russia stop?” Trump: “Look, they’re losing 5,000 soldiers a week.” Reporter: “But they don’t care.” Trump: “Well, maybe not... we make progress, then something gets bombed, and it’s over. Let’s see if we can change that.” This man has no leverage.

In a world where more people obsess about their work being inherently meaningful, I hope that you see your job relatively close to the left side of the chart...

Verschrikkelijk fout. Je ziet ook hoe onbeholpen deze militairen opereren in een taak die bij de politie hoort.

A surreal scene: as huge festive fireworks light up the sky, protesters read out the names of Georgia’s 60+ political prisoners. The fireworks likely came from a fancy event where friends spotted GD propagandist Levan Gigineishvili. Day 195 of daily protests in Georgia.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Elephants should rule the world honestly

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

Abolish ICE and print the names of everyone employed by them

The rule appears to be to choose the most inappropriate person for every office and make America suck it.

Musk says Trump is in the Epstein files and it is being covered up. This escalated quickly.

dear lord this is funny

Looking for a woman who actually wants SOME scrubs.

This coffee slapped so hard I called it daddy.

Het land naar de afgrond geholpen en dan vertrekken alsof ze net een uitverkochte reeks in de Arena met de Toppers heeft afgesloten en nu welverdiend op vakantie mag. Volledig losgezongen van elke realiteit.

Esther Ouwehand on fire. En toen wist Yesilgöz het ook niet meer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BYd...

I spend a lot of time trying to track down photographer credits, but I didn't learn until recently that this iconic shot of Uma Thurman for Pulp Fiction (1994) was by Firooz Zahedi.

Trump day 133-135: No more abortion for pregnant women in need, Harvey Milk name removed from US Naval Ship, FEMA director does not know existence of hurricane seasons, Musk opposes Trump budget, education minister makes simple math mistakes & more: reportersonline.eu/trump-day-13...

A new view on the Ravens of Woden

let the record reflect that the stenographer is dead. shit. wait.

Straks valt het kabinet en dan heeft WNL vier talkshows om te verzekeren dat de VVD gewoon weer de grootste wordt.

Het heet ‘Wilders’ 10-puntenplan’, maar laten we stoppen met eufemismen. Er wordt gesproken over een xenofoob, repressief, onrechtstatelijk en ontmenselijkend offensief dat de kernwaarden van onze democratie ondermijnt. Dat hier serieus over wordt vergaderd, is op zichzelf al een schandaal.

Het nieuwe WNL: youtu.be/dHs_2arQQZ0?...

How your email finds me

Gaza is de ultieme lakmoesproef voor het internationaal recht. Wie nu zwijgt, kiest kant. Laten we hopen dat velen eindelijk de moed vinden om op te staan voor gerechtigheid. (En wtf deed een man van het Rode Kruis in hemelsnaam bij de BBB?)

Tough day for Putin lovers.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Final Map of the "Web" Operation by Ukraine's SBU: - Olenya Air Base in the Murmansk Region - Belaya Air Base in the Irkutsk Region - Ivanovo Air Base in the Ivanovo Region - Dyagilevo Air Base in the Ryazan Region - Severomorsk (Main Administrative Base of the Russian Northern Fleet)

❗️❗️The special operation "Web", as a result of which the Security Service of 🇺🇦Ukraine hit 41 🇷🇺Russian strategic aircraft, was prepared for more than a year and a half. The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky personally supervised the operation.

The teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘FRANKENSTEIN’ has been released. Coming to Netflix this November.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.
