Makes science TV shows for a living and still cant believe it's a real job. Draws pinup, mixes cocktails and mucks about on bikes for fun. Significantly cooler thanks to AC. He/Him

It's finally live! I was lucky enough to get to work with an amazing team and help make this show a reality. Essentially the same team behind the award winning Horrible Histories (but with added me). Its the same mix of sketches, songs and more fart jokes you can sniff at but now with more science!

We hate you so much we’re going to rip up and replace all our rail lines and rolling stock is such burn that I fear it may melt the north pole.
do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

Had a bit of a breakdown, realised my old career was not a good fit. Had a bunch of mates who worked in media in various roles. Parleyed that into my first paid TV gig then released I was actually really good at explaining science stuff in a way people could relate to.

Beyoncés fire suit looks like it was designed by the same guy who came up with female superhero outfits in the 90s. Has she got nomex norks or something?

Decided to move on to a #classy #cocktail next. So we’re having a Royal Smile.
30ml dry gin
30 ml calvados
15ml fresh lemon juice
5ml grenadine
5ml simple syrup (2-1 sugar-water)
Shake over ice and strain. Apple and berry open with a dry gin finish and just enough sweetness to bridge it.

Whilst there was a certain amount of witchcraft present in a mixtape given to the object of your affection it wasn't in the way meant by the here.
Seriously, a good mix tape could really seal the deal so to speak. And yes we'd still called it a mix tape even when it was on a CD not a cassette.

The weather in London this week has been unnecessarily cold and shit. It's taken a toll on my mood so I've made another one of these #cocktails, because frankly it tastes like summer. Tried it with a Taijin rim 1/2 the glass and it very much plays well with the citrus/bitter melon goodness present.
New #Cocktail Monday. Been messing with this idea for a bit and I think its getting there.
I call it the Side Quest
40ml Reposado Tequila
20ml Jamaican white rum
30ml Midori
20ml Maraschino liqueur
30ml Fresh Lime
2 dash Orange bitters
Sweet melon fruit, sour balance and a bitter cherry finish

Should any of you lovely people take up skateboarding as a fitness thing, or because its hugefun, in later life I have a pro-tip. No matter how good the session is going, do not under any circumstances try to skate for 4 hours solid and then decide the next trick is the last one of the night.

Whenever people say that theres only one language these immigrants understand I'm always confused. In my experience they're pretty fluent in at least 2 or 3, where as ironically enough the people making the claim are effluent in 1.

What the actual fucking fuck? The caller definitely needs their hard drives checking.
I'm as flabbergasted as Dean on this one. Unfuckingreal. First off, it's illegal but more than that, some children never get over such abuse. Some adults never get over it even with therapy. WTF is going on in this country?

Telling someone to "Do your own research" is like telling someone to "Do your own appendectomy."
Let the people who are good research do it properly. They're good at it and have better equipment than some guy ranting on youtube.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.

Its not that theres a backlash, its that the outliers are just louder than ever and being given more of a voice by an increasingly right wing political media.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

The smoke adds a very welcome note to what can others be quite a sweet drink. worth a try obvs.

Bsky mods seem to be intent on ignoring context and hyperbole. In all probability is the result of an overly strict bot setting. Management could raise their hands and say it went too far, moderation is a huge issue at scale, they're listening and working on it etc. But they cant admit mistakes...
