I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Listen, Frankenstein (2025) deserves all the praise it can get– but I've yet to see anyone talk about the immaculate line delivery by Oscar Isaac here.

“having to mask made me go fash” is so common and it’s just baffling
I mean, yes, it was annoying to wear one all the time? it also wasn’t that big a deal? if, today, someone asks me to put a mask on I go “ok” and put one on
and yet so many people treat it as a life-ruining imposition

The reason this Harvard history professor decided he was done with one of the best and most privileged jobs in the world was, in his own words, because he was forced to lecture in a mask during peak Covid.
I’m not making this up.

When I was a kid I was deeply disappointed one Christmas to not receive Nickelodeon's Gak. Later I discovered that although it seemed fun, vibrant, exciting initially it soon became a filthy repulsive mess.

Just a reminder to folk visiting Edinburgh next year please try your best to boycott the Elephant House. It's gone from a nice normal cafe with views of the castle to a mad tourist trap with a giant picture of Jakey R on the wall. It's like if everything wrong with Edinburgh's tourism was a cafe

I love how people continue to think that a baby's size has ANY relation to their later height.
Me and my brother were average size babies. I was a tiny child and a short adult. My brother was a short child and a tall adult.
kid next door, renowned for being a HUGE baby and average child and adult.

This is exactly why I strongly opposed the move to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship. Plenty of Brits have dual citizenship, often through a parent, or have access to another citizenship whether they intend to take it up or not, including all Jewish people & most people born in Northern Ireland
Ask this question and its follow-up. Like Begum before him, Alaa el-Fattah is being used as a crowbar to shift reasonable people - even some progressives - into a space of thinking that full citizenship, if granted recently or dual, is retroactively conditional or attracts a lower class of rights.

The range of these two fine actors is very equivalent, Ruffalo doing everything from hard hitting drama like Zodiac or Spotlight, to the Avengers.
And for Schneider everything from Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo to Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

"are now likely to do so in 2026"
Really?
"The guidance is required because of a supreme court ruling in April saying the legal definition of a woman should be based on biological sex"
Not required and it's not the "legal definition of a woman."

Ludicrous for the Guardian to badge 'single sex spaces' a key test facing Starmer. It's neither a key test (polling shows it's a voting issue for almost no-one) nor a test for Starmer (it falls to judges to try and work out the disgraceful Supreme Court meant). Still, gotta stir the culture war pot.

this is your reminder that you don't have a spirit animal if you're not first nations, and patronuses can get in the bin.
your animal self could be called a daemon. BUT. This is the internet and you're on Bluesky. Just admit to yourself that it's a fursona.

Over the holiday week, my sister and I decided that A24 needs to make Eaters of the Dead. Riz Ahmed as Ibn Fadlan. All the Skarsgards and Sarsgaards as various vikings. More Neanderthal stuff. Make it as weird and unnerving as the book. Redeem the somewhat Disneyfied 1999 Antonio Banderas vehicle.
