We Jinxed It โ€“ Golden Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) Has Now Broken Into Pieces We spoke too soon, and now the other ATLAS comet is in pieces.

In what the kids are calling "a mood", Comet K1 ATLAS survives its closest encounter to the Sun just to fall apart a month later... ๐Ÿ”ญ๐Ÿงช

Ah I got you. My old knack of missing the point sometimes remains unmatched.

(just to add this isn't me trying to dunk on you or anything, know I have done a lot of that in the past but am trying to be more constructive etc)

I think that's his point though, higher earners should be taxed more. It's good to have people on higher earnings (and I realize I am guessing wildly here as I have no idea how much Sean earns!) say this. Should be encouraged. And agree people at the bottom shouldn't be taxed more of course.

Iโ€™m not saying I wonโ€™t moan about it when the time comes to pay, but I think the Govt should raise my income tax because I am profoundly worried about the state of public services.

I do not understand those still attempting to defend Labour. Every day the gap between them and Reform, on immigration, trans and non-binary rights, disabled individuals etc shrinks. Human rights have to apply to everyone or they end up applying to no-one. #r4today

Shabana Mahmood will force judges to prioritise public safety over the rights of illegal migrants in a crackdown on asylum claims.

The Home Secretary will on Monday pledge to "scale up" deportations as she announces new restrictions on the way judges apply the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) when foreigners appeal against being removed from the UK.

Ms Mahmood will propose new statutory rules that require judges to prioritise public interest and safety over migrants' claims that deportation would breach their family rights or put them at risk of โ€œinhuman" treatment if they were returned to their home country.

Sickening rhetoric by Home Secretary. Denying access to human rights isn't "protecting the public". This is Labour further demonising those seeking asylum in language very reminiscent of the far right. Yes, some break the law, so should be prosecuted within the law. Removing rights is not the answer

Ah it's all ok. Solar flares can be a big problem, but mainly for satellites etc, and there's more of them at the moment due to where we are in the solar cycle. Rest easy and get a good gawp at the pretty lights.

I think asking the director of such (brilliant) classics as Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver might be an even longer shot if Iโ€™m honest

That would very much be appreciated if you do get a chance, thank you. My email is jfelton@iflscience.com if one of your team has a spare moment to talk about it.

every morning Keir Starmer calls an aide into his room at 6.30am to film him doing bicep curls

"leak this to the Daily Mail" he says between grunts. "say that friends of Keir are concerned about how strong he is right now"

the aide nods, holding up the phone. it's not filming. it's never filming.

or do you just mean how people seem to think 3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft? (if so obvs completely agree, that is very stupid)
