Why do people now have to solve a sphinx’s riddle before they pee? This is absurd and impossible for individuals, workplaces and services to manage. I think we must all just use whatever loo is free from now on. Let these ridiculous idiots have conniptions over it if they want to.

Okay, I hadn’t thought about this before, because of course not, but the main villain in Watership Down has more substance and is a more commanding presence as a leader than Donald Trump . . . and he’s a rabbit.

TBH this comment by the author has dramatically reduced my optimism about the "possible signs of alien life" exoplanet result being likely to hold up to further scrutiny. 🤨 (Chris is a prominent astronomer who has written several papers on exoplanets and planetary atmospheres.)

There’s been a recent increase in #astrophotography images of the cosmos on here, so I’ve put together an alt-text checklist to assist with writing. Our Universe is wonderful, so let’s ensure everyone gets to experiences it. 🙏 TY to all the folks who already use alt-text! #accessibility 🔭🧪📸 1/3

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

An astonishing headline reporting on new observations from a team led to Nikku Madhusudhan claims they’ve found ‘hints of life’ on a planet orbiting a dwarf star some 124 light years away. What’s going on? (1/n) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭 🧪

For what little it’s worth, I’ve always considered trans women to be women, and I think I’ll just carry on doing that.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.
