Rain on plastic.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Turns out the “draw” in “World Cup draw” was short for “draw this sh** out as long as possible”

The World Cup draw is the biggest "could have been an email" event in the world.

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

It won’t surprise you to learn that we really don’t like Strava’s approach nudging people to replace shoes unnecessarily based on outdated research.

We’ve had some unsuccessful engagement with Strava on this topic.

More to come soon!

LGBT+ toolkit This kit provides the tools for everyone to take part in positive change: employers, colleagues, and LGBT+ individuals.

We want everyone in the chemical sciences community to feel welcome, supported and valued, so we're sad to see some people seize on yesterday's supreme court ruling with anti-trans messages. Today, we're highlighting our resources on allyship for trans colleagues and friends
