We were 'a little' behind ourselves in the 60s, but still had huge and sensitive radio dishes, eg Jodrell Bank.

Other than that, yes- it's statistically way more likely to come from a more advanced one.

One of the most troubling, undemocratic aspects of globalization is it allows the ultra-rich to sabotage perfectly reasonable taxation policies by threatening to withdraw themselves and their assets from a country... which is why she's forced to target those further down the pyramid.

He ignores everything that doesn’t meet his demands attacks honesty praises himself endlessly and ends up failing spectacularly.

We're almost half way! #EveryChildEveryChance funds all our education work – that includes keeping creationism out of classrooms, shutting down unsafe and illegal faith schools, and fighting for admissions policies that put children, not religion, first. Please, donate today.

Why 12 in particular? Why is it significant?

All 7 million at No Kings will be Democrat voters already.

We should never deny that this kind of exploitation of the labour force still exists... it's just been exported to poorer countries, where people can be levered into accepting poverty wages.

No-one would be making this huge fuss about harrassment if it was catholicism or scientology being protested in such a 'confrontational' way... and islam is a voluntary belief system, NOT an ethnic identity.

It's just horrific to see this kind of terrorist violence erupting on the streets of America.

We should all send thoughts and prayers for the victims of this vicious atrocity.

Thank you for your attention in this matter!

This should be very jolly! (And hopefully not creepily tense like the 9/11 debate I did ages ago.)

Plenty of teachable moments re basic science.
I rang the people who made the Clangers to get image permission- ended up chatting to Peter Firmin on the phone! xx

Why won’t you hang the Jan 6th plaque for the Capitol Police instead of stuffing it into a closet?

Every Child, Every Chance - no to faith schools Help Humanists UK raise money to support Humanists UK

Imagine an education system where one third of state schools select pupils by religion.

Now imagine that poorer, vulnerable children are denied a place at school because they're not β€˜the right’ religion.

Oh wait. That IS our system. Help us fix it. Donate.

Shouldn't this anti vaccination turd be just thrilled with the Trump regime because it put that anti vaccination asshat RFK in a position of medical power..?

Carey is part of the whole anti-facts, anti scientific 'elites' conspiracy theory cultural mindset that put MAGA in power.

It's a superb, smart (and tragically rare) bit of tactical thinking to utterly undermine the MAGA narrative with wit and cheeky grace.

Performatively kicking off would have just played into Trump's trap.

Huge congratulations to all who are making this clever move happen.
