Shutdown disrupts research into Great Lakes’ toxic algae At risk is the ability for researchers to forecast dangerous blooms weeks in advance.

The shutdown has left NOAA's network of cooperative research institutes locked out of federal labs and cut off from federal collaborators.

Riverford employees to share £1.3m payout as veg box firm’s profits jump More than 1,000 staff at Devon-based group will get about £1,000 each after profits more than doubled

When employees have a real stake in the businesses they're a part of, everyone gets to share the profits of hard work - not just those at the top. 🌱

Deleted my X app just now. Have already followed some on here and if I find I am missing something/someone from X can add here. If not, oh well, they can’t be that important.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it.

Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011.

59,000 private contracts in the NHS.

30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist.

End privatisation.

All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole.

Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁
