Outcry as NIH Plans $4 Billion in Cuts to Reimburse Scientists The National Institutes of Health plans to cut billions of dollars in reimbursements to medical researchers, a move scientists warn could jeopardize their work in advancing cures for diseases.

The US plans to cut billions in reimbursements to medical researchers for items such as hazardous waste disposal.

Wondering how practical it would be to label all human accounts with percentage bonobo versus chimpanzee

Like… “this account is 99% bonobo” (matriarchal and fully just horny)

vs

“This account is 99% chimpanzee” (patriarchal and just warmongering)

And then everything in between

Never had a FB account. Never will.

Good morning everyone ☕️ Mel Gibson’s house burned down while he was on the Joe Rogan podcast denying climate change 🥰 www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

25% of Nigel Farage's party has left because they swear allegiance to Elon Musk.

Both pathetic and hilarious.

Facts are dead. Cooool.

And you thought the tabloid press was bad? Get ready for a biblical flood of moronic rubbish in 2025… courtesy of an imploding America.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!

Day 20 of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration comes. We set the Frost Witch to the tree, Drape the chain of miniature icicles falling from her cloak, unfurl the white lace trail that mimics her decoration of the lanes on winter mornings. Say a prayer for those sleeping rough.

The housing crisis in this country isn’t just about the lack of homes available, it’s about the many people who are stuck in damp, mouldy and dangerous homes that are making them ill.

I reported on a particularly grim example this week 🧵

Simply incredible

Some feel the Long Neolithic as an absence of its builders. This isn't my way. For all of those barrows, all those portal tombs and stones are not uninhabited in the now. They are filled with folklore. In the Long Neolthic's shadow, a crowding of stories. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

UK retailers accused of recruiting young shop workers without rights over Christmas Lush and Gymshark among chains using apps promoted by TikTok influencers to take on gig economy assistants lacking basic protections, say unions

Large retail brands inc Urban Outfitters, Lush, Gymshark & Uniqlo are recruiting “freelance” shop assistants through gig apps, lacking most employment protections & sometimes having to apply for new shifts each day, to staff their stores during the festive period www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

I've noticed in The Other Place that right wing ideas are being sold to young men in that way.

on my way home last night at around 11pm a group of young lads chanted "ooooh Nigel Fara-aage" to the tune of Seven Nation Army while walking through the tube station, felt quite novel and not wholly pleasant

SIMPLY HAVING A

The Irish for Syria is an tSiria.

How it started: How it’s going:

gonna have an entire chorus for a new version of "we didn't start the fire" by the end of this month

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking
