This is genius. Also I want a custard fridge.

[robmanuel @robmanuel]

Idly doodling with an idea for people doing Dry January who don't want to be triggered by being reminded about booze all the time by replacing mentions in the news with custard and it's kinda delightful

@fishertimj This is terrifyingly accurate.

I think it’s fantastic that NASA’s funding some research with theologians and others about what if we find alien life.
Would love to see more funding for research on the societal impacts of our science and potential technology.

Some great advice (despite the tediously snarky intro) from @seriouseats for anyone trying to work out how to get the perfect roast potatoes using American varieties - https://t.co/MbcKwg445n

Ugh, of all the stories, this is the one making me homesick and sad I won’t be in the UK this Christmas.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The T. rex at London’s Natural History Museum is a ferocious-looking beast. It’s now wearing a cozy Christmas sweater.

“There is nothing more funny than a jumper fitted for a dinosaur that has the tiniest arms in the world,” one employee said.

1/ Today is National STEM/STEAM Day! If you know me, you know I live for STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). 🧑🏼‍🔬🧑🏼‍💻🤖🎨➗ I believe that it unlocks so many possibilities and opportunities for kids to explore in school and beyond.

@ruskin147 The end of an era for British tech journalism - hopefully see you one day soon at a Wales game!

[Rory Cellan-Jones @ruskin147]

Finally checking out of the BBC with a photo taken by a great cameraman and friend Neil Drake. It's been an honour and a privilege to work for 40 years for an organisation whose mission is more important than ever, with some of the most talented people you can imagine

We're also looking for reviewers and roundup writers for @lifewiretech - get in touch if you've got a knack for explaining tech in simple terms.

[Mark Prigg @markprigg]

We're looking for a commerce editor to help with reviews and roundups on @lifewiretech - if you're equally obsessed with grammar and gadgets, get in touch... https://t.co/p8orUpNDtU

[Mark Prigg @markprigg]

Little bit of job news - I joined @dotdashco to work on @lifewiretech and a few of their other brands, where I'll be looking after reviews and their commerce stuff. So get ready for relentless promotion and 'I'm hiring' messages as we build the team.

[Mark Prigg @markprigg]

@robsaunders1 I’m SO excited.

[Mark Prigg @markprigg]

Unrolling is the new unboxing

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

This time-lapse shows the second iROSA, or roll-out solar array, unrolling after installation by @astro_kimbrough and @Thom_astro during their spacewalk. The actual unraveling took just 10 minutes and concluded at 1:55 EDT.

@jamestitcomb Oh wow, congratulations!

[Mark Prigg @markprigg]

I got both mine at Javits and thought it was cool, but….
