[first science committee meeting] CHAIRMAN: the title of meteorologist will apply to those that study weather! METEOR SCIENTIST: what the fuck

i didn’t know i was a crow

Kodi is sending lots of love to anyone having a tough day today. ❤️ #samoyed

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a genetic therapy is being trialled in the UK as a potential cure for lupus. It’s already led to remission for German patients in an earlier trial. amp.theguardian.com/science/2024...

A Mossy Bug-eyed Frog (Theloderma corticale) from Cuc Phuong NP in northern Vietnam. This cutie was perched in a bush, right where a stream crossed the mountain trail we were hiking one night. Probably the highlight of my short stay in Vietnam. #frogfriday #frogs #herps

oh my god you guys are gonna be so pissed when all i do is talk about gardening on here

Shedding: the traditional method vs an unsuccessful attempt using a new technique 🦎 #herps

People with kids hate when you offer to dogsit their baby. I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE!!!

An all-time NOPE spot, which is saying something because Joe has given us some great NOPEs over the years.

In car reaction of Perez #f1

supportive sharks 🦈💙

Look, the monkey just wants to develop his own material, is that so wrong www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

As much as I like seeing pets being dressed up for Halloween, I also want to hear the tales of said pets taking revenge on owners for that indignity.

Have a happy Halloween (crested gecko)! 🎃🦎 #reptile #crestedgecko #pets #cute #digitalart #illustration

For Halloween, may I present the very scary... Vampire Bat Lizard! 🦎🦇 #herps

To put things into perspective, here's a freshly hatched baby tokay next to a grown male. (if you're keeping track, this is George's dad and younger sister) 🦎

🧵 Throughout the day I'll be adding to this thread rare, 1960s-1980s horror double-bill posters that you may have missed at the time... #1: The Womble and The Clanger. #halloween #cinema #graphicdesign #posterart

A Spanish version of “in a while, crocodile” is me las piro, vampiro. It means “I’m outta here, vampire” * read on for lots more rhyming farewells from around the world (a thread)…

Well done Carlos Sainz, stayed out of trouble at the start and had a nice simple drive for the win. #f1

Why not throw in some rain to make this race even crazier? #f1

"It gets stiff, then goes soft." Happens to everybody at some point, Franco. #f1

However this one ends up, you can't say its been a boring race #f1 #MexicoGP

And the Ferrari boys are just quietly going along at the front, quietly heading for a 1-2 #f1

That radio message to George Russell about Verstappen's 20 second penalty sounded like it was extra gleeful. #f1

What is going on with the Red Bull drivers? Is the altitude getting to them? #f1

This gets worse with every replay. Max isn't even trying to make the corner. #f1

How can you get a track limit strike for another car pushing you off track?!

No question about it that time. Lando was clearly ahead, Max needs to get a penalty. #f1

Good news: Perez has made up 5 places! Bad news: He might have jumped the start to do it #F1

practising drawing by thinking about it really hard and not actually doing anything

White jackass cheated without consequence. Film at eleven.

Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🤍

I found a cache of photos I saved from a dying hard drive, so expect more pics once I've done what restoration work I can on them. Also, maybe a video related to this photo... (Hint: George, who I showed off the other day, is in the nearest egg) 🦎 #herps

I can't be the only one who reads 'hyperbole' as 'hyper-bowl' first go round every single time, right?
