Yes but as a minor planet he’s renaming it… Trumpet maybe

Trump used to be a sharp player, he still thinks he is but unlike Biden his team are not protecting him from his mental frailty, rather exploiting it

Why is your son travelling at 9000mph, is that not a bit dangerous bird or no bird?

Interesting . Evolution throws up some curve balls but they help the virus win the game. Is there a virus that makes me more attractive to humans !

The Guardian view on Labour’s Brexit hesitancy: Tories collapse and Farage fills the void | Editorial Editorial: Sir Keir Starmer’s caution has yet to persuade voters, while discontent fuels a resurgent right that thrives by boosting anti-immigrant, climate-sceptic views

🔥 This.

“Labour cannot simply manage the status quo. To defeat Mr Farage’s sham politics, it must offer more than technocratic governance. Without a compelling vision, including one for Britain’s place in Europe, it risks being outflanked”

Perfectly put in @theguardian.com

Brexit will never be Brexity enough. Immigration will never be controlled enough. Politics of division is something they are good at. Don’t fight on their turf, they’ll win.

As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV Vaccine HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 show the success of the HPV vaccine.

A new study found a 62% reduction in cervical cancer deaths among women under 25 in the U.S.

Dr. Ashish Deshmukh joins us to discuss the study and why the HPV vaccine, introduced nearly 20 years ago, is likely behind this decline.

Breaking bad UK style.
Chemistry teacher gets cancer (sadly) goes to hospital and gets diagnosis and treatment and is cured. Returns to family home which they still own.

Yes we pay tax, in fact because you pay for veterans and elderly Medicare in a really bad system, you pay more taxes for bad care overall.

In the UK we’re all in on social healthcare, everyone up to his Royal Highness, the King. Everyone get’s treatment with no bills ever. The cost?1/3 of what the US spends per person. And we all live longer.

I feel announcing that while it -10c outside rather diminished an important message

Something so large and organised so soon …n
Maybe big bang theory needs adjusting , there are a few chinks developing in its armour.

Here’s an idea. Why not announce annual global averages in August when the northern hemisphere is roasting, rather than in freezing January where we shrug and think warm would be nice.

The dog star, appearing in northern skies at the end of summer, “dog days” when mosquito disease peaks so associated with plagues.

Yup.

Lumpy space-time caused by mass (gravity). Voids where nothing happens time zips by. Here where stuff is it slowed. Voids are older and bigger. Stay young by doing stuff.

Complex galaxies that far away spells problems for big bang theory or at least its timelines. Does it have metals in its stars ??? Spectrum?

It is a simple matter of economics and what the country can afford. That being said rejoining is inevitable, the only question is the degree of pain required to take us back in.

The UK has a central heating system. It called the AMOC. It carries warm tropical water northward transporting tetra-watts of heat raising temperatures. It is shutting down. Agricultural collapse will follow.
