Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social!!! I know Abdul from his time in Oxford where I supervised his doctorate on obesity prevention. He is the real deal - very clever, very public minded and very caring. He can make a real difference.

Philosophy was solved in 1996 when Phoebe and Chandler had an argument about whether it was possible to commit a truly selfless act

Good luck to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in today's Senate primary election in Michigan!

Sometimes I look at my clock and it's 10am and I think I have to do all of this again TWICE and then it's just lunch???

Petits pois? But I'm a grand garçon

I'm sorry but this is absolutely hilarious. Remember that this technology is going to take all of your jobs

I'm sorry but sometimes I need grand pois

I supervised Abdul's DPhil project when he was at Oxford. It only took him two years. He's very smart and it was clear that he was going to go a long way.

Remember when George Osborne told us austerity was a necessary short term measure to ensure strong economic growth in the future? How's that going?

I would watch the Commonwealth Games if they hosted it in Sheffield, made all the events different contests from Gladiators, and produced commemorative T-shirts based on Pulp's 1995 classic that said "I'm common (wealth games)"

My washing machine works totally fine except for one part. The sensor that checks whether the door is closed properly is faulty, so every time I put on a load I have to do a merry dance to convince the sensor that the door is shut before I can get my washing done.

I hate it when pop music you love is used for crap adverts (I'm looking at you Jurassic 5 / Kellogg's). But using Linger by Cranberries to flog fried chicken when Dolores O'Riordan isn't even around to veto it seems like a very particular travesty.

Takes a special kind of thinking to see the wild fires raging around Europe, thousands of deaths from this year's heatwaves (so far) and conclude "we need to expand drilling in the North Sea to give us the economic power to transition to renewables"

We might think a little differently, but we got a lot in common you will see. We're just like you. Only prettier. #MirandaLambert

Danny Finkelstein arguing that privatisation is right because people should be able to decide what they spend their money on, and private companies choose what to sell to meet this demand. And this applies to water how exactly???

"Know what's stronger than plastic? Bone, motherfucker" I say to the water dispenser

Posting this in case you need to see a Transformer singing All Apologies

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

Shampoo or Green Day?
