23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. That’s the amount of heat the oceans absorbed in 2025. A number so huge it’s almost meaningless…until you realise it’s roughly 40× humanity’s annual energy use. The ocean is buying us time. We’re running out of it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use
The injection of thermal energy comes amid an increasing rise in sea levels and continuing acidification

Me talking about someone I've posted with on the same social media site for a long time but never actually met
Still from the television show What We Do in the Shadows showing Laszlo speaking. Text reads "he's my best friend, he's my pal. He's my homeboy, my rotten soldier. He's my sweet cheese, my good-time boy."

I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

I love living in 2026, every week I learn a new metric which hasn’t been measured as badly since the late 1920s that apparently is a central pillar of the global economy. Everything is cool and fun

Nefarious stuff here to try appear progressive while still proscribing Palestine Action, continuing to pursue legal action against peaceful protestors and perhaps most insidious of all, presenting the two-state solution as justice when it’d really just be codifying Israel’s colonisation of Palestine

I’m on hold with Sky and something has gone wrong with the hold music so it’s just complete silence until every now and then a voice comes on to say “just so you know” and then the next audio clip fails to play so we’re back to total silence. Extremely unsettling

If I was a Vikings fan, I would have vomited at that 3rd and 29 conversion for a TD from the Bucs own 13 yard line and if I was a Bucs fan I would have vomited when I noticed the flag for holding. Incredible football

That time on Twitter that Tom usher posted the sideshow. Bob rake meme, but it was Chris Bryant with various academics repeatedly hammering his shit takes, and Kris Bryant himself responded. Sorry. Are you suggesting I should be repeatedly hit in the head with hammers?

“My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong… There are few times where you get a chance in life to stand up for something bigger and I strongly believe that this is one of them.” What else is there to say? Unfortunately hes surrounded by cowards

All they had to do was take a day off work and they would have been hailed as heroes at home and around the world. But I guess making the worst possible choice at every opportunity was an option too

Frankly, you can stick your black armbands and your match fee donations up your hole. The Palestinian people and Palestinian football begged you to boycott the games, and you refused to listen to them. Nothing else you do matters.

I know Bojack’s there but the NYT top 100 TV shows clearly doesnt take animation seriously as thing for adults to watch. Where was Avatar: The Last Airbender? Or Adventure Time? Attack On Titan? Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood? Even if you don’t like anime yourself, it’s weird there’s not one anime

Breaking Bad is a really good show but it’s not even the best show in its own universe and if you go back and watch it now you’ll notice how often an episode ends on some big dramatic cliffhanger that is pretty much irrelevant five minutes into the next episode

Just gonna assume Man City will be found guilty on “almost all charges” except the biggest ones and they’ll just end up paying some fine with maybe a transfer ban for two windows but they’ll appeal and get the transfer ban postponed so they can do two years of transfer business before it comes in

Leatherback sea turtles have a “skylight” on the top of their head (a spot of unpigmented skin on top of an unusually thin part of their skull which allows light to directly hit their pineal gland) which lets them know when the equilux is so they can start migrating to warmer waters

Weird how our government only has to listen to “the public” on things that make them more racist like immigration and citizenship but never things that actually have widespread national support like supporting Palestine

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

This puts mainstream Democrats in a real pickle. Should they support their incredibly popular mayor or a foreign leader who is best friends with Trump and works overtime to get Republicans elected. No easy answer here

Big discourse on TikTok atm about whether or not you should bring iced coffee to a job interview, in case you were under the illusion that it’s only the text-based social media platforms that have incredibly tedious discourse where no one listens to each other
