Now sitting in the sun, with a cup of water, listening to Thunder Road.

My post-parkrun sweaty face. Managed a smile

I did not have the energy for a 5k run this morning.

Fortunately, half of Ashton Court #parkrun is downhill

Happy 30th birthday to all Pokemons who like dancing to Enya

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

*Blows cigarette smoke right in the face of people who just woke up to the news*

"We already did all the jokes"

5 months old yet still topical.

ME: I knew Pagliacci was a stage name, but the joke didn't work unless I pretended it was his real name.

CHOTINER: So you misrepresented the doctor.

M: Well, I didn't know it would be popular. It was just for our followers.

C: Right. It's okay to lie when it's only close friends.

M: Hold on

I think we got "Time for Oral" on T-shirts for World Antibiotic Awareness Week.

Could not wear it with a straight face.

40 years after Challenger: Lingering guilt and lessons learned The space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 28, 1986, in a cloud of smoke with a crew of seven aboard. The shuttle exploded shortly after this photo. Thom Baur/AP

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, engineers who fought to stop the launch still grapple with the guilt of "what if." The tragedy remains a definitive lesson in the danger of prioritizing management goals over engineering truths and the fatal cost of silencing dissenting voices.

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

holy shit the grink predates christ

Yeah, that's a big whiff.

very well then. send as many men as you can spare. and fresh horses for all of them
(covering the phone and leaning over to talk to my wife, the queen) an egg fell. off a wall

Tate's tots = tater tots?

Oof.

My blood has now been issued in Bath.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Today I watched "The Spongebob Movie: Search For Squarepants" and "Marty Supreme."

Cinema.

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do.

ME: How are you supposed to do it?

MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck.

BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

British education in a nutshell

This thread is some of the most exceptional storytelling I've seen in ages?? wow. truly worth your time.

My sweaty, smiling post-parkrun face.

A busy Ashton Court #Parkrun

I don't regret giving blood earlier this week but I really need all my blood to get up the hill...

The only winning move is not to play. This is the next most optimal move.

My left arm, mid-blood donation.

The annual January check to see if my blood is just mince pies and cheese post-Christmas.

Exceptionally good both in that it makes its point and that it is very funny while doing so

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

My sweaty, post-parkrun face, squinting in the sun.

Feels like -1c.

But another #parkrun under my belt.

Very useful explainer on what's going on.
