Here's something fun. Last year I did a lot of research and writing for the BBC on the connectedness of scientific discoveries.

One result of that is this video: youtu.be/Db7QoAekk5k?...

A key goal of the overall project was to highlight the work of some lesser known scientists like JC Bose.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Wanna make sure people saw this one. The latest ICE child trafficker who got arrested—yes there have been more than one, just in this specific Minnesota suburb!—his job was to do background checks on all other ICE agents hoping to get hired
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Today’s Local Power Plan announcement is the biggest investment in community-owned energy in British history.

Our members have fought for years to put power and profit in community hands. Now that work will shape the future of energy ownership in the UK.⚡️

Without a clearer sense of direction, Labour's doomed. So, by far the best thing that these two could do now would be to stop worrying about how best to become PM if and when Starmer eventually goes and instead think really, really hard about what they would do were they chosen to replace him.

Good morning. Today I am proud to be heading off to a primary school near to Croydon, to teach 120 8-9 year olds how to become ‘weather warriors’ (heroes), by learning how to defend themselves & help others during extreme weather events. ‘The Shield’ 🛡️. Giving something back.

We pride ourselves on being a democracy and yet there’s a medieval theocratic anachronism in the heart of parliament: 26 bishops with automatic seats in the House of Lords. (The only other country in the world with clerics automatically entering a government is… Iran).
Great news. MPs should also pay attention to our campaigns:

● Remove the 26 bishops

Religious office should not grant automatic voting rights in a parliamentary democracy.

● Scrap parliamentary prayers

Attending prayers should not to provide speaking advantages🧵

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

@lucympowell.bsky.social,

Whatever happened to the investigation into MPs' outside earninigs, which you kicked off in the Modernisation Committee and enlisted Alberto Costa and the Standards Committee to help with?
