She hates rule breakers huh?

I guess she’s gonna be livid with the person who hacked a sitting MP’s website

Perhaps if Southern Water had invested in reservoirs and fixing leaky pipe networks instead of paying out huge shareholder dividends and racking up debt, this wouldn't be necessary?

Fine these f*****s

Utterly morally bankrupt, fuck ‘the rules’

Oh you absolutely useless wankers

One source has noticed a 6% increase in earlier bookings (on last year’s figures only) across the whole of the UK… can this realistically be called a ‘trend’?!?!

Vega, Lyra.

Good morning. This is Vega. I took it last night but it's 25 years ago cos light is slow. It's in the Lyra constellation.

Yes, and we can all be certain future elections in El Salvador will be free and fair just as they are in democracies like Russia

Quack 🦆

Imagine the guff they’ll chat about in there, immigration, the wive’s new boyfriend, the demise of lads mags… tragic

UK gets first female Astronomer Royal in 350 years Prof Michele Dougherty is the first woman to be appointed to the influential post.

Congratulations to Professor Michele Dougherty FRS, who has become the first woman appointed as Astronomer Royal in the post's 350-year history.

Yes! Finally someone is saying this!!!

And more importantly in my opinion they are not wind MILLS - they aren't MILLING anything. What are they producing, air flour?

Smithers made flesh

Tau is way more intuitive, more logical and more elegant… why on Earth wouldn’t this be the standard?!?!

Night Tom x

I wrote an assignment/presentation on colliding black holes and the gravitational waves they produce… specifically GW190412 as part of my astronomy studies this year (scored 97%), I find this stuff fascinating, 18 months ago I had no idea and I think it’s where I may want to specialise

@peterhavercan.bsky.social I agree with everything on the list of things in your profile… tau = 2pi though, that’s what earned a follow! ✊

In honor of the extremely clever Tom Lehrer, who has died, here is his song about religion that was rather controversial. It is also very funny.

Oh god, what have we done…

Until embarrassingly recently I genuinely assumed Americans just didn’t say ‘goodbye’ at the end of a phone call

An infographic titled "How BIG are the BLACK HOLES we find with GRAVITATIONAL WAVES?" by @astronerdika. The graphic displays a range of black hole masses detected via gravitational waves, categorized by their size in solar masses (mass of the Sun) and represented with playful cat-like black hole illustrations. The categories from left to right are: 1. "<5 times the mass of the Sun" - Labeled "smol" - Very small black hole illustration represented by a curled up black cat - Arrow pointing left: "THIS WAY TO NEUTRON STARS" - Example: "Big component of GW230529 (~3.6 times the mass of the Sun)" 2. "~10 times the mass of the Sun" - Labeled "basic" - Slightly larger black hole cat illustration - Caption: "LOTS OF BLACK HOLES" 3. "~35–45 times the mass of the Sun" - Labeled "hefty" - Bigger black hole cat illustration - Continues the idea of a populated range 4. ">60 times the mass of the Sun" - Labeled "chonky" - Large black hole cat illustration - Caption: "FORBIDDEN TERRITORY? (can these even be made from the collapse of star cores?!)" - Example: "Components of GW190521 (~85 + ~66 times the mass of the Sun)" 5. ">100 times the mass of the Sun" - Labeled "oh lawd" - Very large, curled-up black hole cat illustration - Arrow pointing right: "THIS WAY TO INTERMEDIATE MASS BLACK HOLES" - Example: "Components of GW231123 (~137 + ~103 times the mass of the Sun)" Below the categories is a stylized black curve representing the inferred population of black holes detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. It rises sharply in the "basic" range and falls off toward the "hefty" and "chonky" ranges, with a note reading: "this curve is an artistic representation of the black hole population inferred by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA." This infographic draws from the “Chonky Cat” meme.

Heard the latest news from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration? We detected the collision of the most massive pair of black holes so far: #GW231123 weighing in at ~137 + ~103 times the mass of the Sun!

So to celebrate, here’s a handy chart ✨

Just how chonky are these black holes? 🤔
