Not only did Labour Together's Josh Simons, MP & Undersecretary of State, employ a PR firm to dig dirt on journalists investigating his think tank's undeclared funding, but emails show that he then tried to smear them to the security services as Russian assets. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The saddest part of this story is not that Bob Iger's imagination hasn't expanded since his days as a weatherman, but that a WGA writer was not being paid to write drafts for a studio for two and a half years. That's not how development is supposed to work.

Lots of people have commented on the US threat to leave the International Energy Agency over its Net-Zero scenarios and "focus" on climate. But what I don't see is a recognition that the IEA has shifted its views and priorities so dramatically in its history *based on data and evidence*.

I'm happy I finally have time time to feature the "Tales from the Frontier" comic, seen in #StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away".😊 I have assembled all the pages seen in the episode but as a special gift, here's the cover and back page of the comic, provided to me by its designer: Stu Pearce! 🧵 1/4

Academy doesn’t some lowkey worldbuilding!

Something that comes up a lot in reviews of Starfleet Academy is that it doesn't feel like The Next Generation. Now my feelings are pretty clear on the matter, but what do you think? *should* a different Star Trek show try to feel like a previous one? Or should it try to be something different?
