I like the wildlife videos where Ukrainian soldiers find marbled polecats the most. Those cute critters are an endangered species. It's usually rare to find them.

Anyone else baffled by the choice of using the Gorillaz track 'On Melancholy Hill' for an Xmas advert?
I get it's a bouncy track but it's not even slightly Christmassy and always baits me into thinking it will be used to advertise something cooler than stuffing lol

Genuinely cannot see any reason for this bill other than it being pure evil, really.

‼️Texas introduces bill that would remove funding from any school where a teacher affirmed a trans child gender in any way. This includes using preferred names or pronouns.
There is no exception made even if they have parental permission.

Endlessly amused by folks from academia following me as they see the words 'PhD' and 'behavioural science' in my bio.
Just to note, peeps - I'm very clearly also a cartoon hyena. Don't expect me to post pre-prints here. But stay for the chaos if you want!

Nice to end the day by getting jumpscared by genuinely the biggest spider, one with green fangs, that I have ever seen in the UK 🕷️
I am usually gentle, but as soon as that thing came towards me, alas, my heaviest notebook was on top of that in an instant.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
