I also have a wish. It would be lovely if for just one day, we weren’t continually reminded of the cuntishness of #ToddlerTrump. 👇

‘Reimagining matter’: Nobel laureate invents machine that harvests water from dry air Omar Yaghi’s invention uses ambient thermal energy and can generate up to 1,000 litres of clean water every day

Yaghi, who grew up in a refugee community in Jordan” invents a Green machine for drawing water from air that will result in 1,000 litres of water a day. Just how amazing is that. Yet political parties continue to perceive migrants as less than human

Don’t knock the semi-colon; it’s increasingly endangered.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

IOC president gives clearest signal so far that Russia could be at 2028 Olympics Kirsty Coventry, the IOC president, said: ‘Keep sport a neutral ground,’ as the Ukraine sports minister Matvii Bidnyi hit out at the Fifa president

Kirsty Coventry, the woman that would have allowed South Africa to compete at the Olympics during the worst of Apartheid. If anybody should be sacked (rather than members of her PR team), I have an idea.

So, you can rape trafficked girls and women without any criminal investigation but goddess forfend that you send an email about investment opportunities. I think our priorities are somewhat skewed.

Oh, they look fabulous!

The writing (and acting) is just wonderful. Enjoy!

What an earth is the hideous Garage doing on #Radio4 *again*. He and his party have 0.6% of MPs. While it is the rightwing Nick Robinson, #BBC will you just finish your live affair with someone who will take us into fascism.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

“I’ve never seen federal agents so out of control and acting in such a malicious manner,” a former federal prosecutor and federal judge said. “They said they were going after ‘the worst of the worst,’ then they became the problem.

The orange tyrd is ramping up the fascist playbook. Control the media (Musk, Bezos), control the judiciary. It's all just so awful. 👇

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

“This is about right versus wrong”. How delightful. Old fashioned perhaps (the orange tyrd’s lies and the shenanigans of politicians have changed the moral landscape) but more of this please. 👇

List of Tory scandals between 2011-2024

A reminder to the media and others trying to claim this Government and Starmer are worse than anything they've ever seen, a Government which has only been in power for 19 months. Here's a handly list of the scandals we had to endure from the Tories between 2011-2024.

Apparently in The Times spread yesterday, Mandelson stated his troubles were like a ‘05.30 drive-by shooting’. Women and girls were trafficked, raped and abused but of course, it’s Mandelson who is the victim.

So many of these powerful men playing the victim card. Sickening.

This is simply terrifying. The State of Florida has banned so many books that teaching Sociology becomes impossible. That the #US is banning democracy and thought is heinous. 👇

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Lord, run out of coffee.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In 1960, Ruby Bridges walked into an empty school to change the world. 🕊️ Despite her father losing his job, her grandparents being evicted, and every teacher but one refusing to instruct her, Ruby stayed. She turned a year of isolation into a lifetime of activism.

All these powerful men denying abuse of girls and trafficked women. In the immortal words if Christine Keeler, ‘Well, he would say that wouldn’t he’. Bastards.

Really quite sad to see that #Chomsky's 'political activism' didn't extend to abused and trafficked women.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

The MAGA attitude to vaccinations, supported and encouraged by the orange tyrd and JFK Jnr, the gutting of the CDC by Musk, the exit from the WHO (and lack of prior ations) are all coming home to roost. Good luck #US when the poliovirus starts spreading in the Summer.

Yet one of them is honorable, one of them serves, one of them protects and, one of them supports. And, I'm talking about Parker (not the racist, fascist slimeball that is Garage).

One word. Tuskegee (1932 to 1972). For those that don’t know, do look it up.

While #ToddlerTrump drags the #US to be a fascist state, his appointee’s are seemingly taking a leaf from prior illegal studies. 👇

Tom Emmer lies about his own constituents: "If you go to my state, the pictures you're seeing of these mobs in Minneapolis, these are paid agitators and protesters. Yeah, you got some Minnesotan anarchists that are in there, but they are people coming from outside our state."

Carrot, roasted pepper and tomato (garlic, ginger, bit of coriander, thyme) soup tonight. Not bad at all.
