My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

Just before resigning and rejoining Reform UK, Zia Yusuf unveiled a bill to stop banks shutting accounts over legal crypto use, a move that would greatly benefit Reform’s top donor, crypto-linked Christopher Harborne.

Honoured (though a little surprised) to be last lab coat up in the current series of #LifeScientific. Lovely to chat with @jimalkhalili.bsky.social for this. Tune in tomorrow Radio 4 9am. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

OTD in 1953 Soviet tanks crushed workers protests in East Germany. Up to 125 were killed. "Western agencies" trying to "destabilize" were blamed. Imagine using such a shit excuse to justify brutality today...

This Maga anti-vaxxer's comeback wasn't the slam dunk they thought it was and were schooled into another dimension www.thepoke.com/2025/06/17/this-maga-anti-vaxxers-comeback-wasnt-the-slam-dunk-he-thought-it-was-and-they-were-schooled-into-another-dimension/

Fears Conflict In The Middle East Will Be Nice Excuse For Petrol Stations To Immediately Ride You At The Pumps

Do you think anybody connected with the tangerine taco understood the significance of this tune?

For those in need of a smile, a reminder that one 19th-century name for a penguin was ‘arsefoot’.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

How does a species actually survive this sort of idiocy? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It will be amusing to watch Donald try to persuade Iran to give up their nukes at the same as Donald supports Russia's invasion of a country that gave up their nukes in exchange for a US assurance they wouldn't be invaded. www.axios.com/2025/06/13/t...

The new US travel warning has shit all to do with Canada. … “we urge” Americans to “register” prior to travel. See article. Government is making sure you don’t attempt to stay here. Top level communistic fascism. Soon you’ll be *required* to register. www.mensjournal.com/travel/u-s-i...

If Brexity folks start crying crocodile tears about the people of Gibraltar, note that a) the Gibraltar first minister supports this deal b) Brexity people sure as hell didn't care how Gibraltar voted in the 2016 Brexit referendum

Did you ever think you'd live to see the party of Ronald Reagan wish KGB controlled Russia a "happy Russia day" and a "brighter future"? Donald wants us to win.

They really should remove the World Cup from the USA and let Canada and Mexico do it all. Spread the message if you agree.

Beautiful. Crowd fund anyone?

They should get DOGE to investigate this profligate use of public money

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

BBC NEWS “In the last few hours Russia has begun targeting major British cities with an army of nuclear drones, but we’re interrupting coverage of the attack because Nigel Farage has just farted after eating an enormous ploughman’s lunch.”

Nigel Farage wants to reopen coal mines in Wales. Wales had the highest rate of respiratory death in Western Europe due, in part, to our industrial heritage. The mines also devastated our environment and there remains thousands of people living below dangerous coal tips.

I bought some CR2032 batteries and noticed that they now have a pattern of coloured dots on one side. Google revealed that the dots are ink, dissolve in saliva, and provide a visual warning that someone has swallowed a battery. So I licked one. My tongue was blue for two days.

Oh no! Disaster! Detectorists is leaving Netflix. Utterly distraught. Where am I going to get my fix of gentle Engish humour now?

Trump’s only tactic has always been politics as entertainment, in as much as a car crash is entertaining. He will do ANYTHING for attention - an exhibitionist manchild desperate to hide his lack of an inner life. It remains to be seen if the US can survive the idiocy of giving him a second season.

10 months ago today I bombed that kids hospital. You have imposed no meaningful consequences. Trump wants to sanction the victims. To us in Kremlin, this means it is permitted. It's why we keep doing it.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

We made our garden an attractive place for birds. Didn't really think about that when we got a cat. Absolute bloodbath.

So he does know how to do this! He forgot during the Capitol insurrection. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Him: Technically the piano is a percussion instrument. Me: Technically the piano is a murder weapon. Just ask Wile E. Coyote.

Our dunce POTUS yesterday provided what would have been the dumbest presidential quote in US history—“I've uncovered the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind.”—and that shit isn’t even a Top 10 news item today. That is the Taco Experience—and the current state of America—in a nutshell.

ICE is working extra hard today to show us that they are nothing like the Gestapo.

Jessica Tarlov: “How can you actually sit here in comforts of our air conditioned studio or in your big nice house and be comfortable knowing that there are people not convicted of anything left to rot in a foreign prison?” Gutfeld: “He has been convicted.” Tarlov: “He has not.”

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.
