A quick Sunday morning rant on the borderline hysterical reaction from some quarters to basic adult advice. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/dont-panic...

Me living by the sword: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me dying by the sword: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Can't help thinking Amol Rajan would have shown less of his arse to the world if he'd just gone straight to Only Fans...

I was so thrilled and honoured to be invited to share a story at the @storycollider.bsky.social event at Imperial College earlier this year. So I decided to tell a story about being a storyteller.

Angel tube station is absolutely cooked and might have to close, Transport for London's maintenance backlog is causing big trouble. (And other stories.)

I've done two back to back days of industry conferences (TechBio and ELRIG) and feel like I've come back from a whole long weekend at Glasto. A sad indictment of my current stamina.

Now that is quite a photo. (Credit: Doug Mills / New York Times)

If this guy was the baddie in a movie, people would say he's a lazy stereotype. There's a theory that people build technologies inspired by the science fiction they consumed as children. This current generation of techno-villains seem to be modelling themselves straight out of 90s comic books.

My man ended USAID, condemning millions to death

Top ten most foreboding sentence I've ever read.

Restore is such a weird mix of fascism and random mad boomer Facebook shit.

The Green Party need to kick out the antisemites and get back to what the party was supposed to be all about: Opposing solar farms and high speed rail.

My friend @mjrobbins.com has produced an outstanding new video which is, in a very literal sense, a massive pile of garbage. It’s like You Can See Everything but with rampant methane and bureaucratic inertia instead of Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes. Behold the Rainham volcano!

Important addition to Sandwich Discourse. Mayo is extremely underrated for many many cooking applications. Mix it with some flavours, use it to stick breadcrumbs onto fish. Air fryer. Nom.

[my brain so large it threatens to engulf the entire Atlantic ocean]: the perfect sandwich is actually buttered on all four sides as it should be lightly fried in a pan too

I feel like @mjrobbins.com has a lot to say about knobs (of the car dashboard variety).

Chernobyly was so good that when it ended I was sad we would not be spending any more time in that world with those characters. Although the concept of the Chernobyl Extended Universe is pretty fucking bleak, I guess.

Castle. It was silly and sexy and funny and I have the massive hots for Nathan Fillion and it got progressively more miserable and rubbish, and the leads clearly hated each other. Devastated 💔

NO. DO NOT DO THIS. Do NOT think about The Event and under NO circumstances attempt to relive The Event. This may cause DISTRESS and CONFUSION. REMAIN INDOORS.

Martin is back on the YouTube train with another brilliant short film venturing into the heart of darkness and inactivity that is Havering Town Council, and the giant trash fire that's terrorising Rainham's residents.

IMO, the issue is not the monetary contribution, it's that an awful lot of people conflate fun activities that you do in your spare time as also being the same thing in terms of work, as in - not *real* work Games are enjoyable activities you do on the evenings and weekends with your mates

I know you all hate Instagram but the Alaska Sealife Center has an orphan baby walrus 🥹

Exciting new historical work on Rosalind Franklin continues to appear. This is a neat bit of sleuthing by historian @alistairsponsel.bsky.social and crystallographer Brian Sutton. Here's the DOI to the actual article (it's OA): 10.1007/s10739-026-09866-7 The main finding is an x-ray image of exactly

Coming out this week, here's a trailer for my most ambitious film project to date, about the man-made volcano in London that's burning for six months of the year.

"Before Stonehenge was raised, before Egypts first pyramid broke ground,before the Nazca people drew their famous lines across the Peruvian desert,someone in what is now southern Arizona shaped a 272-foot fish into the earth On April 23,2026,"a border-wall contractor drove heavy equipment across it"

Today marks the 25th anniversary (😯) of our publication on discovery of FOXP2. To commemorate, I’ll repost a few prior threads about the gene. Here’s my explainer of how we tracked down FOXP2 & implicated it in speech/language deficits, in the days before completion of the human genome project.🗣️🧬🧪👇

Just remembered one of my all time favourite tweets

Happy Pluripotency Day! #Oct4

Yes but also my partner spelled my name wrong the first time he booked us plane tickets so....

Let's gooooo! On stage at 8pm

Hello Cambridge! On stage at J2 tonight with Sunday Driver, supporting the fabulous Baby Seals

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

You should all read this. It’s superintelligent, organically so.

"Careful dear, we can almost see Uranus."

Far too many quotable bits in @mjrobbins.com latest piece about the AI apocalypse doomed, so you'll just have to go read the whole thing martinrobbins.substack.com/p/the-ai-apo...

Obviously going to regret this when Claude starts a nuclear war on Monday.

Knock yerselves out, gene regulation dorks. @philipcball.bsky.social has a story for you...
