Sepsis survivor with CKD & disabilities. Neurodiverse. Studying with the OU and taking all things space and tech to young people through schools, clubs, etc. and stupid enough to let them loose on £20k worth of Astro gear for fun! Crazy.

Does Donald Trump deserve the Peace prize because he always said “shhhhhhhhh stay quiet ” to the children on Epstein Island

Let's be honest. Donald Trump has been given the Nobel Medal for Peace and not the actual Nobel Peace Prize. That is and will forever be Machado's. All he got is her medal with no meaning behind it. It's no different than Usain Bolt giving his 100m Gold Medal to you. It wouldn't make you an athlete.

Imagine if EVERY European leader threatened to close EVERY US Base on their soil in response to the military threat to Greenland? No air bases, submarine bases, radar stations. No bases in the Med, or the Baltic.
But Greenland would be worth it, right?

Perhaps those of you still on X should start asking Grok to produce images of Elon, Stephen Miller, and anyone else on the right wing list dressed in uniforms from the Third Reich. If we start spreading a few pictures of Elon in an SS uniform I bet things will change.

USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Thank you @carolynporco.bsky.social for the work you have done leading and contributing to the expansion of our knowledge of this solar system of ours. Your work has inspired me since I first encountered it with the images from the Voyager missions.

What a great idea! On it.
You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

Fascinating. Going to raid the OU Library subscription to read the original article. I wonder if we could fast forward time, we would find early galaxies like this become heavy element factories as they grow older. 🔭 🧪

A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful.
They agreed it was unfair.

Mexico 🇲🇽

New Zealand 🇳🇿
That way we get the opening match v Mexico, redress for the 1978 1:1 draw against Iran, and a chance of actually getting to the next stage.
