Comic. [Two people on shore looking at body of water] PERSON 1: Hey, where’s that big island we were looking at this morning? PERSON 2 with short hair: Oh, it’s underwater. The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects. PERSON 1: *What???* [caption] People here are used to them, but tides are one of the weirdest and most sci-fi elements of life on Earth.

Just finished listening to the audio book but must have reread it 3-4 times over the last 30 years. I can pick up any #Discworld book, open it on any page and start reading it quiet happily

Process begins for military cyber command with 300-strong force planned for defensive and offensive operations New command to safeguard Irish military operations from cyber threats and may launch cyberattacks for ‘defensive purposes’

Glad to see this key piece of work for national defence is getting started. Probably 10 years late and hopefully doesn't take years to get in place. Also an ideal unit for the Defence Force Reserves - www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

He has a Gustaf m/45 submachine gun so he’s more a danger to himself and anyone standing casually around him than to James. When issued with one many years ago we weren’t allowed fit the magazine in due to risk of accidental discharge 😜

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
