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...

Measles has one of the highest basic reproduction numbers (R₀) of any disease (12 to 18), meaning one infected person can spread it to 12 to 18 others in a fully susceptible population, making it extremely contagious. Need 95% vaccination status to achieve herd immunity. Get vaccinated!!

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

When the engineers say, "It's not safe. Something bad will happen," it's always best to listen and err on the side of caution.

I thought she looked fabulous. And the stammer made the connection with her much more real and likeable than with the other contestants. Hope she gets good opportunities after this. #jessie #traitors www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026...

This has been the longest week so far.

You have to admit these letters from Trump to foreign governments would actually seem less bizarre if they had been written in crayon

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Thinking about all the inequality, persecution, racism, bigotry and such going on in the world today - just remember that we are nothing without other people.

It’s crazy how it’s suddenly “wow we live in a police state” when it happens to white people

This is a level of competence that makes him an ideal Reform convert.

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

Has there ever been a UK Prime Minister with less cojones than this guy? He's quite unbelievable 🙄 “If it’s in our national interest … then we should consider that, we should go that far,” he told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg. Absolutely dripping wet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Is the Beeb seriously considering Rylan Clark or Zoe Ball as #Strictly hosts? To my mind they're always more interested in presenting themselves, which Tess & Claudia managed to avoid. Someone sensitive like Alex Jones or Angela Scanlon would fit well, maybe paired with Janette.

I’m a patriot. I love this country. It’s why I joined the military, and it’s why I’m stepping up now.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is so disgusting.
