Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

sure a trillion dollars sounds like a lot but after tax that's only a trillion dollars

Meanwhile, pensioners who sat on pavements holding Palestine Action placards are being prosecuted under the Terrorism Act.

Such a tragic and terrible case. Henry's death is every parents worst nightmare. And it's about to get horribly weaponised by Farage which won't help his family one tiny jot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am a chef and I work in a restaurant and I have to create really fancy dishes for people. Everyone thinks that I must cook really fancy meals at home. I actually chuck fish fingers and oven chips in the air fryer and have them & beans. No way am I fannying about in my kitchen.

Does engaging with the arts help to slow the aging process? According to this new paper from Fancourt et al the answer is yes! Alas, the paper is actually unsuitable for such claims. Let’s examine by discussing how you'd establish whether arts engagement actually caused future health! 1/18 🧵

This sounds like a message for those who have stuck with Labour rather than for those who deserted them

Saw the front of the Telegraph in a shop a moment ago. It’s taking a report that 600k households are so poorly paid that welfare payments exceed wages and arguing that the problem with this is the welfare bit.

Thank you Hungary.

Professor Katie Barclay re the state of Oz unis:

The BBC News talking about trump's utterly deranged post as being a indicative of" frustration on the part of the president ", shows them sanitising what is a truly disturbing and unhinged post by trump. Shame on them for such craven complicity. #bbcbias

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

Disgusting and awful from Sheffield Hallum, and far from the first scandalous decision they've made. The leadership team should be shamed out of ever working in the sector again.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about Trump every fucking day..

Matt Badloss, is it?

I wrote an essay responding to Philip Goff's recent anti-science meme. Hopefully successful in clarifying the relationship between science and philosophy, and perhaps even changing the minds of some philosophers. walterveit.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in. A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

A letter circulating online calls on Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, to resign and is said to come from someone named Peter Singer. To be clear: if such a letter exists, it is not from me, and I do not support any call for the Prime Minister to resign.

Wait until Trump finds out what Jonathan Meades, correctly, said about him on the BBC some years back.

As it’s #WorldSwiftDay here is a montage of Swift photos I’ve taken. One of the most challenging birds to capture in flight as they are super fast and turn on a sixpence. They are one of my favourite birds and I love to listen to them “ screaming” over the rooftops ❤️

Happy to share our latest study on (Un)intentionality bias in action observation! We found that people perceive ambiguous actions as intentional—especially when posture aligns with the goal. This bias shifts with schizotypal cognitive traits. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
