SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer 🙄
Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.

Really thrilled to learn that due to a huge outpouring of public support, Argonaut Books in the Edinburgh area will not have to compete with a Waterstones planned for around the corner. Kudos to Waterstones for listening and everyone on insta for being vocal. One of my very favorite UK bookstores.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
