Scene from Star Trek TNG: Picard hangs his head defeatedly as Q (mischievous alien being) plays trumpet with a mariachi band on the Enterprise bridge. Caption beside Picard “people who follow me for one topic”; beside the mariachi band “the rest of my interests”

God damn is the skeptic movement full of stupid gross men. I remember all this shit going down.

I was on the board for CFI UK for a little bit back in, what, 2012? 2014? It was very clearly a tick box exercise token woman. Really made me feel disillusioned with the skeptic scene tbh.

Gross.

My parents have had a tropical bird visiting their (NE Scotland) garden this last week. We’re amazed it is surviving the temperatures. It looks to me like a budgie, though my parents insist it’s too big/too long a tail. Anyone know, or know what to do with it? 🦜

Anyone know if/when #VisibleApp are finally going to roll out sleep tracking in the UK?
It’s strange how long it takes them to roll things out after announcing them. And where did monthly trends reports disappear to? I had them for April - May 2024 then they vanished again 🤷🏻‍♀️ #MECFS #LongCovid

Well, I have failed yet again to get the cat to the vet for a booster shot 😣 Yesterday he was up and happy to come down for a treat at 8am, today he was hiding before I even woke up. Sigh…

My old Aiwa Walkman from the 80s. Loved this thing, very compact it was, auto-reverse and dolby NR. Eventually it packed in but was superseded by a compact CD player. This went everywhere with me. Good bit of kit. Anyone else have anything like this …?

Beyond the particulars, the Epstein files massively corrode trust in elites and political institutions. They consolidate two suspicions among the public. 1/3

In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

Cat bed complete! Now to see if he’ll use it… Took just over 4 hrs to crochet and is 16” across inside. This was just the quick and easy break from my other WIPS that I needed 🧶
