This should be a career ender but it won’t be.

Badenoch should call it out but she won’t.

The media should call it out as racist but they won’t.

We live in a really fucked up country. Not for the reasons Jenrick believes but because of people like him.

Every motorway service station should have a 5-a-side football pitch. The score should be continuous throughout the day with travellers swapping in and out via infinite subs.

This is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses? Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

I see the odd Perseid at the tail end of summer here in the UK, although typically when the best ones whizz across the sky I’ve popped indoors for a wee or something… a fireball though, wow… v v v jealous!!!

😩

Photos please!

Jane Goodall, the influential primatologist who changed how people see chimpanzees and themselves, died Wednesday at the age of 91.

She died of natural causes while she was in California on a speaking tour, the Jane Goodall Institute said in a statement on social media.

I am very sad to report that Jane Goodall has died. Zoologist, primatologist, and anthropologist. Worlds foremost authority on chimpanzees. 🧪

Arrest everyone and sink the fucker

Still a dickhead though

Assuming you’re left leaning and progressive this version of the Labour Party are not your friends

OFCOM needs to get involved. Is this journalism or is this Reform Party propaganda?

I ended my membership of the Labour Party some time ago, anyone reading this who hasn’t, what on Earth is stopping you?!?!

Actions not words

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

This MAGA/MAHA/Trump/RFK Jr/Dr Oz/Dr Bhattacharya press conference right now is quite possibly the worst press conference—from the viewpoints of medicine, public health, & medical ethics—that I’ve ever seen. These men are so shameless & deeply irresponsible. Wherever happened to science & evidence?

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT:

“The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

Trump blames autism on women taking Tylenol. I'd be sceptical, but this is the guy who told us to drink bleach for Covid, so clearly he's the leading medical mind of a generation.

i feel like we’ve underestimated the power of being able to just… lie. “paracetamol causes autism” no it doesn’t, that isn’t true. so what are you, a journalist, going to do about that?

Newsnight is a saggy sack of piss, credibility left with Paxman

I have an ‘internet’ tv, it is less reliable than the old analogue set my parents had in their sitting room 40 years ago… progress huh?

A Decade of Gravitational Waves This is just a quick post to mark the fact that it is now ten years to the day since the first detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO. The acronym LIGO stands for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. It wasn't until February 11th 2016 that the result was announced at a press conference (which I blogged about here), but the signal itself arrived on 14th September 2015, exactly a decade ago; the name given to the event was GW150914.

Minimising and downplaying the rise in overt racism… well played professor

A passage describing the life expectancy of a person born in England and Wales in the 1850s (42) and the high infant mortality rate (a quarter of children died before the age of 5)

Ah yes, the good old 1850s

Pathetic

Haha

Has anyone read the article? Out of curiosity I want to know his reason… not enough to find the article and read it myself though, I don’t want the Daily Mail in my browser history
