They should call themselves “alfalfa males” because everything about them is pretty much eventually horseshit.

@sciencebase Is it vulnerable to cats or dogs? I've never heard of it, but it is easy to imagine.

It's cold & dark, so how about spending a few minutes this evening transcribing weather observations from 1860s ship logs?
We are very close to completing the Weather Rescue At Sea citizen science project: http://www.WeatherRescue.org
Can you join the crew & help finish the voyage?
@sciencebase I did a tape with a cassette recorder laid on the lounge carpet of TOGWT Xmas 1975/6. Parents came in during Zep's Trampled Underfoot with a voice-over, "What's this rubbish". I remember they used a B&W cartoon but I don't know what it was-Betty Boop maybe. I still expect their voice-over every time I play it!

Uh-oh, trouble in Christian Nationalist paradise!
Now that MTG has finally denounced Trump's best buddy Nick Fuentes, he is not handling it all that well. His bitter rant is a must-watch, friends.
@sciencebase I did wonder if it were a means of telling whether you were using it correctly. 'Suck so that it sounds' sort of thing, or it'll all end up in your mouth.
@sciencebase I meant to ask you whether inhalers have a kazoo on them that whistles? I knew one guy whose sounded like it had but he was a nutter.
@sciencebase I saw a *seller* review which included that the so-called 'room note' as "tolerable". So you don't have to go into the yard to smoke it then!
@sciencebase I always think that they should be smoking a pipe, with that face. Some strong like black pigtail twist.

It’s good to be back in the rehearsal room! If you’re in London Jan-Apr, be sure to catch me live and on stage in Allegiance, based on my own life story.

"Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,” believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”

We are all stardust.
That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.
The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.
The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.
@Frances_Coppola I'm going to see how many croissant I can eat with mine.

The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.

Telling report today on the 19:00 German TV2 main evening news: "In the afternoon, the Last Generation is a topic of debate in the Bundestag. The climate demands get barely a mention, e.g. a speed limit. It's exclusively about the means of protest and more severe punishment."

It’s a wrap! I had a hoot taping The Graham Norton Show, laughing about life and discussing my legacy project Allegiance. Catch us on the tele Friday at 10:45p on BBC1 and twice again over the weekend!

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”
#OnThisDay, 1 Dec 1955, Rosa Parks does not give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger, and is arrested. Although not the first black woman to be arrested Parks' refusal is a key moment in the American civil rights movement.
