As David Lammy prepares to attend a Council of Europe meeting in Strasbourg that will discuss legal changes to stop bogus asylum claims, the novelist Julian Barnes, the actor Adrian Lester and the comedian Aisling Bea have also signed a letter telling the prime minister: “Any attempt at undermining universal protections is an affront to us all and a threat to the security of each and every one of us.” Continue reading...

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

This painting has been tattooed onto my brain. The stinging accuracy of the situation. I feel everything she feels. The way the artist made her look right at you, as if to say “And you? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna just sit there and pretend to read, like you always do?”

I’ve been a fan of the Unexplainable podcast for quite some time, but their latest series called The Sound Barrier (4 eps) is an absolute treat for anyone who is interested in neurology or space 🧬🔭 It explores sonification, the neurology of hearing and more ☺️

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
