The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I have a PhD in Traffic Psychology (road safety focus) and a long time ago worked for the NZ Ministry of Transport as a human factors scientist. This is absolutely what the evidence says. Any other claim or message is political and not based in facts.

🧵Spotted on a Boxing Day road trip in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (20s?) is hitchhiking on the side of a daisy strewn stretch of road in a picturesque valley. She's wearing a safari hat, pantaloons and bare feet. A car full of women with packs in the back pulls over. Grinning she gets in. (1)

Turns out "all men" isn't fucking far off. Time for you to stop yelling "not all men" at women and start to look in at yourselves, colleagues, team mates, drinking lads, friend, and start calling any misogyny. Time to stop being defensive and simply START STANDING WITH US.

This thread by Seth Abramson is an incredible read. Elon Musk is a huge national security threat and a liar. If you think you know Elon’s story, this thread may change your opinion.

@grumpyyetamusin.bsky.social Odd sort of thing to ask: we know someone who has a tiny metallic scarab which was reputedly given to an ancestor by Lady Carnarvon, allegedly from the tomb of Tutankhamun - how would one go about getting it authenticated or (more likely) poo-pooed?

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in The Dick Van Dyke Show (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts
