It's true, I'm an astrobiologist and I'm an inveterate gossip

Literally, we are so obnoxious you guys

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Tbf some rock formations are heart-wrenchingly beautiful

Saw The Testament of Ann Lee last night and I can’t remember the last time I saw such an impeccably lit and graded modern film.

Ugh, morning people

Invisible Rainbows The tale of the invisible Universe and the LGBTQIA+ astronomers discovering it

UK folks!! Marvelous new book coming out there in May from @drcarpineti.bsky.social! It's very 🔭 and very queer, so very 🌈🌈🌈🌈!! 🧪

I’ve been eight times now and I have no regrets

I genuinely think one of the stupidest things a self-proclaimed “sensible” political party can do is act like they’re entitled to the votes of certain people, because it inevitably turns into haranguing the electorate for not voting the way the party wanted.

Looking at you today, Keir.

As a lot of people are pointing out, now is a very good time to support independent media and creators.

Here’s a fun way you can start: you can watch the ENTIRE INDIE TV SERIES my friends and I made, for free!

It’s a horror-comedy mockumentary murder mystery! And it’s really good! First episode 👇

Lol the Tories lost their deposit

Yeah that’s a crazy way to refer to something that is still happening

Especially if it's a small electric car that shows they care about safety / efficiency / the environment

My beard's been salt-and-paprika (as my husband calls it) for a while now

Found my first white chest hair today, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go buy myself a coffin

And to think I've been told multiple times that I'm "going to fall behind" by not using AI to summarise or gather information for me. I'll stick to actually reading and understanding, thank you.

A screenshot of prompting chatgpt with "how many new clusters were detected by hunt and reffert". It invents a first author for a paper that doesn't exist and returns a wrong answer (five) instead of ~2300.

I'm starting to find that papers mis-cite my own papers in really, really perplexing ways. It's quite obvious why if you just go to that one hyped up tool and ask it about your own work...

ChatGPT got my supervisor's name right but changed me to be a "William" (lol) and gave the wrong number

What is it with funding bodies saying post docs cannot be PI, how else can we get our foot in the door?

Just a few more days to nominate people to our awards!!

“The World Central Kitchen announces that it suspends all cooking operations in the Gaza Strip starting next Friday until further notice, citing heavy Israeli restrictions at crossings and a sharp decline in trucks incoming to the Strip.”

For All Mankind is a prequel to the Expanse and you cannot convince me otherwise

My single-author paper got accepted, what a great way to start the week!

My brain just tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a note that said “the only spaghettos I have are regrettos” and honestly I don’t know what to do with that information

'Smiling' fossil discovered in Northumberland The unusual looking fossil is estimated to be a few hundred million years old dating to the Carboniferous period.

Me: (chanting) teeth, teeth-

Other fossil hunters: teeth, TEETH

British Geological Society: [pounding its clipboard] TEETH, TEETH, TEETH!

I bet he's sweating now

I honestly cannot recommend this film enough. If you like slapstick you have to see Hundreds Of Beavers.
