No, not that one.
Is there an award for Best Science Account on Bluesky? Because if there is Mike gets my vote!
When I wrote about the ancient Zanclean megaflood filling the Mediterranean in as little as 12-18 months (!), it was wistfully.

I'm English. Lovely place, England, but Big Geological Drama? None of that round 'ere, sadly.

Imagine my delight at what geophysicists found in the English Channel.

Just getting changed after a swim in my local pool, outside my cubicle a dad and his young kid are choosing their locker. "What about this one Johnny? Zero, zero, seven, what number is it?" "Zero, zero, seven!".

Me, biting my lip: IT'S DOUBLE-OH SEVEN! What kind of education are you giving the boy?

Builder across the road just laughed like the beginning of a Gorillaz song.

Bus driver this morning is a lunatic and I just came up with "Max Busstoppen" and I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed!

So, wait, is nobody going to mention the villains in the latest Doctor Who were Wynn and Kid? @johnrain.co.uk that can't be a coincidence?

@hollyqueenofspayeds.com I'm getting some major Smol Paul vibes from Godzilla's eyes here!
I sometimes thinking about this Canon ad with Godzilla at a copy machine when I’m feeling sad

If anyone is in doubt about how the markets see the next 4 years panning out, the share price of weapons manufacturer BAE SYSTEMS is up almost 5% today. #war

Massive Basildon multiplex screen, Saving Private Ryan, at the end of the opening 20 minute battle screen a clearly stunned chav a few seats along from us loudly declares "fucking war sucks!" which somewhat punctured the gravity of the sequence...
What’s your best memory of watching a movie? I’m not asking what the best movie you’ve ever seen is, I’m asking about the experience of watching that movie. Doesn’t matter if it was in a theater or at home. What’s your favorite memory associated with watching a movie and why?
