TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

The reactions to this seem neatly divided between those who don’t know John Finnemore’s work and those who do.
The Traitors is coming to the stage, with a theatre production in London in 2027.
It will be written by John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure) and directed by Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat.)

Larry Ellison’s wealth is made up of Oracle stock. Oracle has $58bn in data center debt, $248bn in lease obligations and negative $13bn cash flow. TikTok loses billions. This is setting up for one of the stupidest endings possible for this era

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?

I just saw a guy on the phone in Tesco. He said 'OK... OK. Thanks for telling me.' He then put back into the fridge two bottles of champagne which he'd been about to buy. I'll be thinking about it for a while probably.

Amazing thread on a huge extinct organism that formed columns over 8 metres tall - long thought to be an early fungus but is actually unrelated to anything alive today!
Our paper on the mysterious Devonian organism Prototaxites has now finally been published! See the paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and our explainer thread below!
