I don’t share this very often, but you guys deserve it.

Its not only death versus life. I know someone who had measles aged 3 and became deaf as a result (this dates to before the vaccine was introduced).

Make a movie all about prostates

The Prostates of Others

i might be Dark Woke for this but i genuinely enjoy and think it’s somewhat deserved when people self own like this

This is disgusting.

We will still know that the Jews are murdering the Palestinians; it just makes bsky look complicit.

Mr Burns the Heron. These animals are nasty - eating the ducklings and little frogs.

Even better. Ambiguity is freedom.

Sorry to be That One, but Philippides or Phidippides?

Thread: The story of the mighty runner Pheidippides dates back to the 5th century BCE Herodotus, who tells us that this incredible athlete ran all the way from Athens to Sparta and back again, a distance of just over 300 miles.

We may be at cross purposes, I was just curious about Shackleton's choice of words.

Shackleton's "Imperial Trans-Arctic Expedition" was to the Southern Pole. These days we spend a little bit of ink saying Antarctica in order to create the distinction with the Northern Pole, but Shackleton didn't need to bother. I wonder when that changed?

When did it become important to call it "Antarctica"?

Yes, thank you for the corrective.

This is why I don't pay any attention to BBC News anymore.

Its even worse than that. If you actually look at the Equalities Act, it refers to nine protected characteristics, and one of them is "having a gender recognition certificate". The Equalities Act is actively protecting many trans women.

The 5 stages of Man:

1) pees in a diaper
2) sits on potty to pee
3) pees standing up

The 5 stages of Man:

1) drink from boobs
2) stare at boobs
3) play with boobs
4) grow your own boobs
5) what are boobs?

"A dog walks into a tavern and says, "I cant see a thing, I'll open this"."

Insert whatever you think is funny into "this".

Older than anything Greek by at least 1,000 years.

In all seriousness, those three barriers look pretty solid to me.

I would be interested to understand how that quote about whiskey and car manufacturers corresponds to any far right or far left political view.

This also causes a conflict between the desire for authenticity and feeling like I have to conform to be safe and get love.

I don't think that this can be reversed.

Even if the tariffs were removed tomorrow, you couldn't expect that the trade deal you signed with the US would last longer than four years.

Its about trust, and when that's gone, its gone.

“In the eighteenth century, people believed cheese could cure leprosy.”

I suspect I’m not going to change a lot of minds on this one, but one thing I’ve thought about a lot is how we discuss historical ‘beliefs’ like this more carefully. (1/n)

I prefer Aristotle to Newton, tbh. Its more relatable outside the world of stones and apples.
