Goodwin's inner monologue is that of the Principle Skinner out of touch meme.

It's like crack. On speed.

Come and join us. It's such a great place to work.

PLEASE EXPLAIN

(yes I know really!)

Same. It's crack of the condiment world.

FAMILY. CLOSE FAMILY.

SHE IS CALLED TAO HUABI.

Thank you Blueskyers. I suppose I could’ve looked this up myself.

Precisely. I knew I could rely on you.

Please settle a family dispute: we refer to this elixir of spice as Chinese Lady Sauce, because it is Chinese and the picture is of a woman, whom I presume lovingly hand crafts every jar. But some say that it is not a lady. Who is right?

Wait, you wrote this??

Have any of you lot played Pools? It's TERRIFYING.

@vizcomic.bsky.social absolutely smashing the history of science in the new issue. #histsci

Origin of Species was a prank that got out of hand, and Mendel was breeding his pea plants cos he was a raving plant pervert.

My beautiful elegant hound, fast asleep, dreaming of squirrels.

Final re-up on the joy of being a scientific advisor for amazing films and with wonderful actors - Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Ryan Reynolds - and also working on a movie with Jared Leto 😬

Joy of joy!

The House of Commons was completed in 1852 and designed to look medieval.

The Guardian view on saving Westminster: parliament should leave London | Editorial Editorial: The long-overdue refurbishment could be an ideal opportunity for Britain to spread power to other parts of the UK, and send a powerful message

Make the houses round, move to York.

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge...”

This quote from Darwin's Descent of Man, published #OnThisDay in 1871, pretty much sums up the challenges the world is facing now, a century & a half later.

Some. Those films, such as Venom, though critically condemned, and not doing well at the box office in the West, sometimes do ridiculously well in other territories, notably China. They do different cuts with Chinese actors to nurture that market. Bottom line, it's the bottom line.

Working science into great movies, and also with Jared Leto The joys of being a science advisor on movies, and the HORROR.

On working with Jared Leto: tl;dr it was baffling.

YouTube video by Sky News Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office

Watching Mandelson's perp walk, I cannot get over how much the reporter sounds like Chris Morris on the Day Today.
