It seems apt that Manchester City fans adopted the Poznan, a celebration where everybody looks the other way.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: 5 million years ago - a bunch of bedbugs lounge around in a living room, looking totally bored. Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Imagine how much of a toxic nightmare bastard you would have to be to blockade and shut down a lifeboat station. Not only that, a lifeboat station run by *volunteers*. Some of the bravest and most selfless people this country has, hounded and intimidated by some of its most pathetic pricks.

This should be the easiest open goal in the world for a progressive government - they are literally violent criminals. Most voters do not like violent criminals.

Entomologist here. Great question! It may seem surprising that the scientific community could miss an entire bug species after all this time, especially when it’s THIS big. The answer might surprise you more. Let’s dive in (1/?)

@theoceanblooms
can I ask a question: how does something like this go undiscovered until now

@ABC
Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them. 
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

Lovely bit of Disambiguation here
Extract of article from Wikipedia about the Denisovans. 

Denisovan

Not to be confused with Denis Ovens, an English former professional darts player.

The Denisovans or Denisova hominins (/dəˈnɪsəvə(nz)/ də-NIS-ə-və(nz)) are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic human that ranged across Asia during the Middle to Late Pleistocene, approximately 200,000–32,000 years ago.

One of the secrets about the FT is that if you buy the paper they sometimes tell you what they really really think before some subeditor spots it. Compare the print and digital copy about SpaceX www.ft.com/content/1638...
Investors were not deterred by a series of science fiction targets and fantastical financial projections, combined with one of the most lax corporate governance regimes in history.Investors were undeterred by the lofty financial projections pitched by SpaceX's underwriters during the IPO roadshow nor by one of the most lax corporate governance regimes in history.

The new Microsoft Windows logo, as shown at the Nvidia keynote, seems to be using Comic Sans - a very childish typeface that is widely ridiculed.

If a mob boss tried to shake me down, I would just say a really witty joke. And there would be a LOOONG pause, and then the mob boss would start laughing. Then his henchmen would start laughing. Then the mob boss would say, "Hey, check out the meatballs on this kid!" and problem solved.
