If you can afford to throw it out, then throw it out!

The expert verdict on whether it's ever OK to cut off the mould on food and eat the rest


'Dr Vaskoska says mould itself "is not necessarily dangerous", but some moulds can produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins.

'"Regular consumption of small amounts of mycotoxins can have some more severe effects, such as carcinogen."

'When ingesting mould, there's also a risk that it can make you sick.'

Evidence is mounting that Elon Musk manipulated the X/Twitter algorithm to boost his own posts as well as those of prominent conservatives. I talk about a new pre-print, and whether or not BlueSky is our savior skepchick.org/2024/12/is-elon-โ€ฆ


In 2012, French beekeepers encountered an unusual phenomenon when they discovered blue and green #honey in their hives. This strange coloration immediately aroused the interest and curiosity of beekeepers, and they went in search of the cause. In their investigations, they found that the bees were collecting colored sugar from a nearby M&M factory.

The factory had left remnants of colored sugar in the candy manufacturing process, and the bees had used this sugar as a food source.

Academic trolled for PhD


"An academic who received death and rape threats after posting a picture of herself on X with her completed PhD has said she feels "quite unfazed by the vitriol".

"Dr Ally Louks' post has been viewed 100 million times since she first posted it on 27 November, and has attracted more than 11,000 responses.

"The University of Cambridge supervisor, whose thesis is in English Literature, stressed the majority of comments have been "incredibly nice, kind and generous", but after her post "was retweeted by a couple of very right wing accounts" it began to attract negative attention.

"X has been approached for comment, while Cambridgeshire Police confirmed an investigation into a report of a hate incident has begun."

in reply to Muse

Nicely done on her part: good paper to complete her PhD and hopefully police will make some arrests for the threats.

We need to take it back as a badge of pride. I'm proud to be a cat lady because cats are nicer than most people!


Two years ago, @micahflee got banned from Twitter (and later X) for posting a link to a Mastodon account that tracked Elon Musk's private jet.
