A thread of silly videos I've made (most of which are over a minute long, so have to be posted via YouTube links) The final dance in Dirty Dancing, but they’re dancing to The Muppet Show theme tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9v6...

Janey's funeral this weekend

A good news story. “The bumblebee population has made an impressive comeback in a developed area by increasing to 116 times what it was two years ago thanks to a nature restoration group.” https://www.scotsman.com/hays-way/bumblebee-population-increases-116-times-over-in-remarkable-scotland-proje…

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

And as this gains attention outside of scientific circles, as it surely will, @deevybee.bsky.social will undoubtedly face a great deal of harassment. Other fellows of the @royalsociety.bsky.social will have to decide whether she faces it alone or not.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Seen some suggestion that the reason bluesky is struggling is because people are uploading their entire twitter history. Don't be a dick, no one other than you will look back at that.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵
