This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

It's crazy how easy it would be for the UK to become the new international centre of research and learning if the government would just support the HE Sector a little bit more. Return student visas to pre-Brexit rules, raise funding to match inflation. The ball is just sitting in their court

I have to say, the men's Lionesses football team did pretty well in this World Cup. I know they haven't reached the final for decades so not quite up to the standard of the actual Lionesses, but they're getting there. Come on lads. Keep it up. Let's prove that we can be as good as the girls.

It’s looking (and smelling) apocalyptic across greater Manchester. Since we can’t ban idiocy, could we at least ban fireworks? And disposable barbecues? #moorlandFire #Dovestone

The startling safety data from two new reviews on maternity services might be expected to trigger immediate measures for improvement. But other reviews have failed to stop the crisis. @kamranabbasi.bsky.social looks at the lack of progress so far in Editor's Choice

My favourite thing about Haaland is that he spent 1.3 million ​Norwegian kroner of his football money on a rare 1594 edition of Viking chronicles - a record book sale for Norway - and then donated it to his regional library. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ha...

'Moonshine' by contemporary UK printmaker Janis Goodman #WomensArt

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

A quick reminder that when England play and lose, incidents of Domestic Violence increase by 38%. When they win they still increase by 26% - womensaid.org.uk/get-involved...

Been trying for years now to highlight that part of data centers' water footprint comes from producing the electricity they use, so it's good to see more mainstream coverage of it. (Again, yes we should reform agriculture, golf corses Should also be destroyed, & more than one thing can be bad)

Farage spent equivalent of a few months in past 2 years working as an MP the rest of the time has been spent lining his pockets from 14 jobs (based on my calculations) The Staggering Amount of Time Farage Spent on ‘Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP @bylinetimes.bsky.social #BanMPsSecondJobs ✊🏼✊🏼

Hot take: lecturing people about their a/c use and commercial airplane flights is a psyop to make us feel climate doom instead of climate rage

"Farage’s racial account of school failure performs a precise political function: it directs working-class anger towards minorities and away from a programme whose primary beneficiaries are Reform’s donors." ✍️ @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/06/26/h...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

"Scientific openness" (OA and other forms of open research) is necessary but not sufficient to achieve a global OA which is effective and equitable. @stephenpinfield.bsky.social argues we also need epistemic openness AND participatory openness #ALN26

All the Reform nutters opposed expanding the ULEZ because they don’t like change. It’s helped cut deaths from air pollution by 40%.

Tech firms should release environmental data on AI and universities should measure use. But there's tonnes of research on the ecological impacts of gen AI and data centres already - PRODUCED BY ACADEMICS IN UNIVERSITIES. The evidence is not hidden, it's just that sector 'leaders' don't care

I am BEGGING people - think tanks, governments, random organisations - to DATE YOUR REPORTS WHEN YOU DO THE PDFS. It should not be THIS HARD to find a BLOODY PUBLICATION DATE. You might think everyone will remember the magical day you published it years later. But you are delusional.

Turns out there is an occasion when I really do not mind 5am.

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/
