Can't wait to see her fly. I got to enjoy a taxi ride in her last summer, and those 4 merlin engines are a joy to hear. BBC News - Will third Lancaster bomber return to the skies? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This quote is something "Longer to build equity", no mention at all of how much more interest you will be paying.

The Empty City substack is one to follow just for amazing lines like this gem. "Legal letters should be instruments, not ornaments."

Sky at Night always used to have an early repeat - and we're back, with our collaboration with the Curious Cases team on at 7pm tomorrow on BBC4. Please watch if you possibly can - support your local science program! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Maybe now really isn't a good time to be thinking of flying in US airspace.

Frankly, I don't think Canada cares one way or the other about what Harry Windsor does. BBC News - Harry apologises to Canada for wearing LA Dodgers cap during World Series www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wonder how many farmers are saying,"Sure, that has to be the presidents main priority. I don't mind my family business going bankrupt while the president gets his ballroom."?

Figured out what this picture reminded me of...

Well, the Orange manchild will not be pleased. #NoKings www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

This is going to be happening at Reform lead councils across the country. My own trumpeted their DOGE initiative. What do we hear about the savings? Crickets!

Well, it is no wonder that I'm politically homeless. As one of those horrible PMC, I am hated by both major parties. Why are the Labour Party and Conservatives still stuck in the 1980s? An excellent thread by Ben Ansell on this self-destruction.

Russia also said they had no intention of invading Ukraine, so I would take any comments from them with a hefty pinch of salt. BBC News - Russia has no intention of attacking EU or Nato states, foreign minister says www.bbc.com/news/article...

Statement from The Atlantic’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg:

Reform cloak themselves in British patriotism and restoration of British values. How is this cruel policy showing a fair, caring culture?

Goes to show that moral righteous is not implicit in someone who claims to be religious.

this is the actual attack on free speech that can be seen from outer space www.ft.com/content/41cc...

Wow, what a start to one of my favourite weekends of the year at #WehaveWaysFest. Loads of tanks, tankards and WWII waffle.

This is a silly statement. Getting all the oil and gas out of the North Sea would be not economically viable. If the Conservatives want to be taken seriously again, they need to be serious about policy. BBC News - Tories pledge to get all oil and gas out of North Sea www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

I love this quote "Twitter started to suck and all the cool people were moving to Bluesky." arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Just another example of how the current US administration deals with immigration issues. Imagine being shipped with your child to a detention centre at the other end of the country with no idea what will happen to you. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Oh, the irony, this is coming from an administration that has masked agents seizing people off the streets based on nothing more than skin colour and incarceration them without due process. BBC News - US says UK human rights have worsened in past year www.bbc.com/news/article...

This reminds me so much about how some in politics and the media talk about London, like it is some version of Port-au-Prince in Haiti ruled by armed gangs.

Finally got around to booking my tickets for #WeHaveWaysFestV looking forward to tanks, talks and tankards with the other "Afflicted" for lots of WWII waffle.

Very sad news, a true hero and an inspiration. Fair winds and following sea commander. Ad astra. BBC News - Jim Lovell, who guided Apollo 13 safely back to Earth, dies aged 97 www.bbc.com/news/article...

They really are trying to kill their fellow citizens. BBC News - RFK Jr cancels $500m in mRNA vaccine development in the US www.bbc.com/news/article...

Well, I'm sure that Putin is quaking in his boots with Donald's new deadline.

As before, ad nauseam, nothing the world can realistically do about the largest economy being run on the whim of an ageing ignoramus than survive as best they can.

Based on the WH response, I think that they've hit a nerve. It's like Donald saying stop asking about Epstein. Just going to get more people talking about it. BBC News - South Park: Creator Trey Parker makes joke apology to Trump over opening episode - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well, I'm shocked. Imagine that. A bunch neo-nazis organising hate protests. Whatever next!

All the Republicans complaining about government waste seem pretty silent on 47's jolly to Scotland for a round of personal self-promotion. BBC News - Trump takes time out to open Scottish golf course www.bbc.com/news/article...

I like the way Doug Ford and PM Mark Carney are standing up for Canada. Not heard much from Premier Smith, but she is pretty much in the Maga's back pocket. youtube.com/shorts/8RE5k...

The Alt-right and Reformanistas will be outraged at these numbers showing just how bad things are in the UK.

So much for industry standards protecting us from AI deepfakes. www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

Gee, who would have thought that vaccines save lives. I wonder if the current US Secretary of Health & Human Services will find out about this novel idea? BBC News - Vaccine roll-outs cut deaths by 60% - study www.bbc.com/news/article...

This quote has always stuck with me, but never before in my lifetime have I seen it so prevalent in American society and politics than now.

Saw this in the local market today. Just like the International Observe the Moon events in October, just warmer.

I, for one, am all for curtailing the ability of rich people to subvert our democracy. Just look at what is happening in America now.

Will this be another #TACO moment? Probably. BBC News - Trump approves Iran attack plan but has not made final decision, reports say www.bbc.com/news/article...

I know it's important to listen to both sides, but if one side says batsh!t crazy stuff like the world is flat, then there's no point listening to them. The same applies to listening to nazish!t #blockedJDVance

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By @rubenbolling.bsky.social, after Richard Scarry. Genius. Click in.

This is a good interview and not because of the shout out (although thank you!). It accurately points out how anti-science tech has become. The thermodynamics point alone is worth the read. Because it’s become a folk theory among AI shills but their science is wrong!

Here is the UK government making and colossal error.

Yeah, that approach worked out so well for the UK Conservative party after Brexit. #dumbpolitics www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm glad the pilot brought it down safely, and no one was seriously hurt. BBC News - WW2 Spitfire emergency landing after losing power www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hey Alberta, Donnie says they don't need Canadian oil. Just turn off the taps for a few weeks and see what happens #ElbowsUp

The UK, Canada, and the EU should be taking this opportunity to recruit those academics, scientists, and researchers. This would help drive growth and economic opportunities. America's loss would be our gain. magazine.newstatesman.com/2025/04/22/a...

There is going to be a lot of pain for the US and consequently the rest of the global economy. All because some people in the US didn't want to vote for a smart woman to be President.
