Orcas have started wearing dead salmon as hats again, just fyi www.iflscience.com/wearing-a-sa...

the labour mp who wants to ban trans people from hospitals also thinks 5G causes cancer because of course she does

Our best understanding of the universe as a whole is the standard model of cosmology, and through this we know of only about 5 percent of its contents. www.iflscience.com/the-euclid-m...

For this week's @iflscience.com's Hot Takes, I go head-to-head with @jimmfelton.bsky.social and his piece from last week. We cannot be the only place with life in the cosmos! Fight me! www.iflscience.com/there-is-lif...

Good. These cunts allowed grasping dorks to steal my actual voice. Fuck 'em.

need to work on my jogging pace, I’m giving “man desperately trying to catch a bus” energy and bus drivers are paying attention

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

People ask me this all the time, so I’ll just say: look at the transgender hate panic, a thing that had no organic element and did not arise from the public, and was instead imposed upon everyone by the world’s most hateful, poisonous and malignant media class.

Take it from someone constantly writing about the Fermi paradox; a cold, dead universe is the best scenario we can hope for.

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

i don't care for charles.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I want to hear more about the second of these writing sessions

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

It might not look like much, but this astronomical plate helped confirm the existence of "island universes." www.iflscience.com/this-photogr...

This Photograph Might Not Look Like Much, But It Showed That "Island Universes" Really Do Exist

Worth it for the Feynman-kicking alone.

Math is the 'Queen of Sciences', comes the latest hot take. www.iflscience.com/its-time-to-...

Every AI CEO sounds like this.

*blackadder theme* His head is bigger than a fence He breathes, and everything gets warmer His urge to trample represents A nation's nuclear war trauma Godzilla! Godzilla! The scourge of beast and man! Godzilla! Godzilla! He's flattening Japan!

No she’s not.

yes my bull went rogue in your china shop but I think we can all agree there’s no liability here it’s an agentic being

I wrote "ouch" on a piece of paper and sent it through the photocopier. What happened next chilled me to the bone

Not a dicky bird about thugs trying to sink a dinghy with a rescue worker on board or their claims to be "forming an army". Two boats of people seeking safety land and bingo bango they're the ones portrayed as the issue. Labour is complict in the rise of the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Local legends, or something to watch out for while hiking?

I want to put on record that not every member of the @iflscience.com editorial team subscribes to what we could affectionately call “the Welsh Delusion”

Big Cats in Wales, let’s gooo 😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Scientists are always arguing that we should pay more attention to local knowledge, all I'm saying is that that should also be applied to the Welsh.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

my brilliant colleague @robertshrimsley.bsky.social on the threat from Elon Musk’s X platform www.ft.com/content/f270...

Harper Collins execs this morning:

[yelling like a rescue worker approaching the wreckage of the Titanic] are there any prime ministers out there who can tell me whether my concerns about this are legitimate? Are there any prime ministers out there alive?

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Who called them marine biologists and not aquademics

If you're making cheesy chips, for the love of god please layer the chips and cheese. Those substrata chips are not going to cheese themselves.

Glaciers collapse, disasters ensue. And then we’re expected to ignore all that because we can make fun AI images and google can badly summarise Wikipedia. Seriously. AI - Fuck off.
