I found the app years before I even heard it based on the website, that in all honesty I have never used.

The Nobel statement reads "When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist...." A fitting tribute to her and what sounds like a poke in the eye to a certain occupant of the White House.

A fascinating paper and written in language that for the most part a non scientist such as myself can follow and understand.

Santos-Sanz+ with “JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo’s ring system” - I’m fascinated by #exorings and seeing more activity and weirdness with small bodies in the Solar system gets me very intrigued indeed….. #astrosci #astrodon

$A plot showing the light curve of a star passing behind Chariklo's rings. A horizontal line, with two narrow dips. Zoomed in panels showing the eclipses in detail show positive excursions from diffraction around the edge of the rings.$

So based on that statement he will be going on mainstream media again and complaining that his own constituency of Newark on Trent is not a mixed community and something needs to be done about it. What a knob!

The Tories are hanging on the coat tails of the lunacy, stupidity and lies of Reform and Trumpisum. The problem for them is that they can't even do that right.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

While this is a welcome legal result, I suspect getting this money back from them will be like pulling teeth - slow and torturous. These people always seem to be able to hide their money.

Keir Starmer is in quite a pickle. In sucking up to Trump, he cannot fight fartage with the line ' If you vote for Reform, you will get a UK version of Trump as PM' . A lot of UK voters hate Trump and might be persuaded by this line of attack if Labour could use it.

You only have to listen to this and see how dangerous the current American administration is. As a Brit, you just have to listen to the likes of Farage even questioning how science works to know that the UK could go the same way as the US is going right now.
