Me, 3 years ago: Our home will never be desecrated by children's music. Our children will learn to appreciate the good music _we_ listen to. Me today: Man, "Baby shark" really is a banger, isn't it? Alexa, play Baby shark *this is a true story

Ok the latest episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms just took me back to the best moments of Game of Thrones. I AM LOVING THIS SHOW.

Am really enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's lighthearted and funny (I'm aware it's meant to get darker, though I haven't read the book) and the characters have exactly the perfect amount of GoT references/links to make it enjoyable without feeling like it's needed to carry the show

Age gating VPNs is a truly horrible idea. Teenagers deserve some kind of private access to the internet – which might mean LGB resources, or access to contraception or abortion advice, or resources to help with parental abuse. Shutting them off puts them in greater danger. This is just bad policy.

How dense do you have to be to think the way to stop teenagers using VPNs, which was a direct cause of the age checks, is "lets do age checks for the VPNs" 🤦🏽‍♀️

One thing that would definitely work to increase the birth rate is decreasing the length of pregnancy. 9 women could work together in a team to produce a baby in one month

I'm rewatching Game of Thrones (currently in S4) & it's making me very nostalgic for waiting for a tv episode, getting together with friends to watch it, hours reading reviews after, everyone talking about it. It wasn't that long ago, streaming was already a thing; what made GoT such a phenomenon?

Unbelievable that Labour are just so nakedly chasing Farage's agenda, now cracking down on ILR. Maybe they just *really* need to convince the public that Farage is substantially correct about every single issue he talks about, maybe then, finally, the public will agree that they ought vote Labour.

Happy birthday to astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979), a trailblazer for women in #astronomy who discovered that hydrogen & helium are the most common elements in the universe.⁠ 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬🎢🔭 ⁠ Born England, she won a scholarship to Newnham College at Cambridge in 1919 where she heard 🧵1/n

“The danger is that if you remove it, sex is siloed off as something separate and shameful, and porn steps into the breach. Sex then becomes a commodity with nothing to do with love, with personality, with human connection, with being a fully-realised person at all, in fact.” Exactly the problem!

What happens when a star cluster disperses? Well, it forms a stream of stars - and those streams are all around us! In a new paper by Sebastian Ratzenböck at the CfA / @univie.ac.at, we looked into streams near to the Sun, and found that the Milky Way's disk is *full* of streams! 🔭☄️🧪 #galactic
Figure from the paper showing detected streams in the Milky Way in Cartesian coordinates, where streams are shown as highlighted volumes. The Sun is at X=Y=Z 0 pc (the red cross): so these streams are all around us!
