when is summer over I feel sick with the heat 😭

We really need some laws to make sure that if you’re wearing glasses that record video everyone knows it. Legally mandate that if you’re wearing smart glasses you also have to wear a cap with a propeller on it

I am in a News www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

I wish I was still on twitter to tell him to shove this post up his arse

Having bought a social network to validate conspiracy theories and “prove” that people agree with me—which didn’t work because they don’t, and the conspiracy theory that they don’t only because someone tricked them is stupid—I’ve decided to make a program that changes info until I’m right to cite.

I saw these suggestions pop up and don't even remember what I was about to ask now

imagine being officially terrified of some red paint

A man shouted Britain First as he shot an MP dead and Britain First are not proscribed.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

reposting this old twitter thread because whenever there's a heatwave multiple people tell me it helped them

Hi, this is a British weather post. I'm from Brisbane, Australia. Compared to London, midsummer mean daily highs here are 7–8°C (44–46°F) hotter. I wouldn't trade places with them right now. If you think they're being sooks you should go wash your head.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

And the *really* crazy part is: probably less than 0.1% of the planet's population is in favour. I mean, only a complete lunatic or moron would choose war and AI, leading to planetary collapse, as his/her preferred option.

[mysterious circle of robed figures] JK Rowling: hello children Allison Bailey: dark lord, dark lord, help me! Bailey: the vet told me my dog is TOO FAT Rowling: my god Rowling: i can't believe they would attack your gender critical beliefs like that Bailey: that's exactly what I said!

Somebody was talking lawsuit. "We accept ..."

"We told a load of lies that enabled the ongoing broader discrimination of trans people, but all we have to do is print a tiny retraction rather than have any responsibility for the harm we have caused."

If I got banned from the vet for being so rude to staff that they described me as vile you would never see me again as I’d be so embarrassed, let alone going to the papers to announce to the world that I’m a dickhead and suing the vet

"Some results may have shocked the people they belonged to – there were some, the team noted, who self-described as, say, white, and ended up having more than 50 percent African or Native American ancestry." www.iflscience.com/your-genetic...

When you discover a year-old potato in the back of the pantry cupboard:

1 editorial and 1 celebrity criticising her is by far the worst day, media-wise, JKR has had in decades. I'm sure she's taking it well.

is it this

ik a lot of ppl are loathed to give stephen fry any due but this, i think, is the first time a mainstream figure has been all over the british press straight-up saying jk rowling has been radicalised. this is actually unusual, and blanket, coverage.

Share with that family member that doesn't see the value in funding research. Then point out all of the ways they directly benefit from things that have developed from "silly" research. Encouraging human curiosity always pays off.

If someone had said, “Who cares how desert lizard venom works? Let’s not fund that research,” we never would have discovered semaglutide, a key component of drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, which have helped millions of Americans lose weight.

I keep getting ads telling me to use AI to answer my emails for me, and everything I know about the theory of induced traffic tells me that this ends with an exponential increase in pointless emails as robots chat away to each other and minimal actual productivity gains

I bet they did

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Trump said he'd have an answer in two weeks because he has no idea what he's being asked about and frankly doesn't care. There, I just performed better analysis than the New York Times and I didn't even need to have my wallet inspected

abstinence only phone education! [looks up teen pregnancy and std rates in us bible belt states] oh no

british transphobes have repeatedly accused cisgender women of being trans just because they happen to be a) not white people and b) not bad at sports. e.g Imane Khelif is *not* transgender in any way according to all known facts and history about her. AND YET.

If you want a smile I suggest you read the comments too

It was when JK Rowling said that the Cass Review was a peer review itself and that's why it didn't need to be peer reviewed I realised she's an idiot. Anyway, here's a peer review of Cass. Guess what it finds?
