you guys are being very cynical about this but the real explanation is that bears and Bigfoot are buddies. They like to hang out and do stuff together

Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populations
The big conclusion: "If bigfoot is there, it could be a bear."

This video made me realise we have a whole new generation about who have no memory of the late 2000s atheist movement.
Well,
Well,
This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

When he should be getting in that dim sum to appeal to the east asian vote.
You’re all such Bluesky dweebs reading the MSM… the thing which, as an aside, that keeps popping up unprompted in entirely unrelated conversations is…. Keir Starmer’s plan to dim the sun.

I've seen a lot of people compare AI products to the rise of the internet and warn that if we don't start using them we'll get left behind. But I don't think that's what happening. I think AI is "pivot to video" 2.0. My latest for @spitfirenews.com

Much discussion exists about grief following adult neurodiversity diagnosis, very little exists about the majorly bummed out feeling of realising you're a savant in a really lame area.

everything I hear about the way new mothers are treated makes me think that if I ever have a kid, with my temperament, running on no sleep, I'll probably end up punching someone in the mouth
When my baby was a few days old and I was struggling to breastfeed her, a support worker who came to visit said to me “all the other new mums I visited today are breastfeeding”
And then in my notes she wrote that she wasn’t sure if I really wanted to breastfeed

Like many mothers, I struggled with breastfeeding. Now we know we’re not ‘failures’ | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
A study shows the impact of feeding challenges on maternal mental health. With official help in short supply, it’s time to support each other, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Performative bullying of “soft” jobs and performative celebration of “hard” jobs is one of the most boring things in the world. And… god, it’s just miserable isn’t it? A thuggish fuck-you to loads of hard workers, and a denial of potential of the next generation. Know your place, kids.
The UK car industry contributes £22bn to the economy and employs c 35k people.
Universities contribute £265bn and employ nearly 400k, over 10x as much.
Yet he seems ok to let that sector implode.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

![Comic by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is a British WOODLAND by a RIVER. A NATURALIST is stood next to a cage, and TV NEWS REPORTERS are filming him and the cage.

NATURALIST:
And now It is my great honour
2
NATURALIST:
to reintroduce the first wild beaver
back into Britain

[Cut to the BEAVER’S CAGE. Its door is open and the Beaver is leaned nonchalantly up against the opening, smoking a cigarette.]
4
BEAVER:
Well, well, well.
5
BEAVER:
Look who's come crawling back.
6
BEAVER:
Got a rubbish ecosystem have ya?
7
BEAVER:
Not happy with the *critical anti-flood infrastructure* engineered by the flippin *badgers*?
8
BEAVER:
I almost didn't recognise you without one of my ancestors on your head…
9
BEAVER:
First you wipe us out… now you ask us to come back and build dams for free…
You actually expect me to be *pleased* don’t ya?
NATURALIST:
I'm so sorry I…I…
10
BEAVER:
“Ooh la la, the Brits have come crawling back…”
Do I look like *Michel flippin’ Barnier*?
11
NATURALIST:
I-if there’s some kind of… *remuneration* we could offer I-I’m sure…
12
BEAVER [throwing cigarette to the ground]:
Unlimited pond weed, two tickets to Abba Voyage.
NATURALIST:
Done.
