A lot of studies have been conducted on American men who attend college concerning sexual crimes; something like 5-7% self report behaviour that would count as rape. Once you include sexual assault, it creeps higher and higher. There is clearly a problem in those spaces.

The opening song of Winstanley is so simple yet goes so hard. Compelling cinema.

I'd be genuinely interested to hear from the people who campaigned for a second referendum on exiting the EU, whether they'd support one this time or whether they'd be happy with the government just doing it themselves.

Significant chance they were just stealing stuff from nearby farms, which interestingly would make this the first ever time the police have attempted to stop a case of rural crime

I was at a social event the other night and happened to look up, and a woman I hadn't spoken to was staring at me so intently I think she was trying to make me explode with her mind.

You can tell what demographics are disproportionately represented on UK BlueSky when "fuel prices too high? Why do you not simply buy an electric car or take public transport?" is considered a sensible comment

For some reason the Portable Antiquities Scheme now prevent you exporting their data unless you ("ideally") know someone at the Scheme or an archaeologist. ...Why? Did they have issues with rogue data analysis or something? Seems rather excessive.

This is what a Jurassic forest may have sounded like. By combining exquisitely preserved fossil wings with experiments on living insects, computer simulations, and machine learning, scientists have re-created what they say is a partial Middle Jurassic soundscape. scim.ag/4cirWKy

Neat little German field hospital sterilisation kit I have. I think it came from my grandfather, in which case he must have picked it up in postwar Libya as he had no particular interest in militaria. DRGM No. 44638

Spotify: I see you're listening to Bach organ music. Mind if I carry on the vibe by playing a random segment from the Rite of Spring extremely loudly as soon as the album finishes? They're related because they're both old :)

If Trump supported Argentinian imperialism against the Falkland Islanders (which I don't think he would actually do and this won't happen) then it'll begin a case to genuinely close the US bases in Britain

As a teenager I was only vaguely aware of the concept of transness/queerness until my friend showed me Rocky Horror Picture Show and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in one sitting. Not exactly an ideal introduction but quite funny in hindsight.

Harald V spent a lot of his childhood in exile in Washington DC (he enjoyed playing with FDR's dog Fala). The result is that his English speech is a near-unique mixture of Norwegian and Transatlantic English.
