You laugh, but the Hammond kids tricked the velociraptors with a mirror image in that kitchen one time, and they're the smartest dinosaurs there is.

You may have heard about a shit-load of waste that was illegally dumped in a field next to a river near Kidlington, Oxfordshire? Well, someone's just been arrested over that.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Let me warn Rachel Reeves in no uncertain terms: if the Budget measures include any that directly affect me in any way at all I shall leave the front room and relocate to the kitchen.

The Sun eclipsed by Earth as seen by the returning Apollo 12 crew. This colorization of a B&W photo suggests how a composite made from different exposures might have appeared if they hadn't run out of color Hasselblad film. Hopefully one day this sight will be captured with capable color cameras.

A highly reflective area at the base of Mars's southern polar ice cap hinted at the potential presence of liquid water. But new radar measurements suggest there may be another explanation. New research in #AGUPubs by scientists at @psi.edu & colleagues.
