Oh dear #radiohead Great set at #O2arena tonight was ruined by truly terrible sound. Gutted

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Me too, but I went back to the ‘join queue’ page on the #radiohead website and it took me to the place where I’d been booted out. Got to ticket page 3rd time lucky

Oh dear - best of luck

Me too. It says it might be Apple Private Relay but I’m not using either of those #radiohead #fail

Thanks #radiohead and #axs - really fucking helpful after waiting in the queue

Through the wait for the queue for the queue and the queue for the queue. Now in the queue #radiohead

Computer not OK #radiohead Glitches galore and now True Love Waits. But for how long?

Hear hear!!

Excellent news, not least for Greens. And #tiktok, I suppose www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is actual good news and it wouldn’t have happened under the Tories and we who voted Labour should note it.

The UK’s latest climate change progress report highlights serious gaps.

8/ For those who prefer their skewering in video form, @ledbydonkeys.org have lovingly produced this soothing** look at the “godfather of Brexit” for #DanHannanDay (**it’s not actually soothing - it’s infuriating - despite being soothingly voiced by @gavinesler.bsky.social 👍)

The Bethesda Declaration people spoke out, despite the prohibition.

Tremendous reporting from Joel Schectman and Aruna Viswanatha in the @wsj.com on how Pentagon pranks, coverups and in some cases deliberate disinformation fed to American citizens fueled interest in UFOs. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

There is a second support letter that the public can sign. You can help advance medical cures in the US, and defend against Trump’s tyrannical attacks on the country, by signing it. Please do. We hope for your support. And please share with your family and friends!

Proud to have cosigned the Bethesda Declaration.

Trump canceled: "a grant to Emory University and Georgia State University, where researchers had developed three potential drugs that showed promise against many RNA-based viruses, including coronaviruses, Ebola, avian influenza and measles.." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Take note Reform UK...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Read this and instantly thought of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social Would a little frog music be too expensive to include in #podyssey ? www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/m... @theguardian.com

An unreliable study from a male wellness company convinced MPs and the media that the UK had the 12th largest ‘female health gap’ in the world. Our investigation into this claim has now secured a series of high-profile corrections - and seen the original research deleted. We unpick what went wrong.

I love how in many Mediterranean countries - particularly here in Greece - there’s a framed photo on each gravestone, along with the age the person reached (here, that’s often over 100). You instantly feel some connection with that person; much more so than when there are only words and dates

Oh what fun; there’s a semicolon quiz @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

How are executive orders affecting federally funded scientific journals? Read more about the tensions between political mandates and research integrity.

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year? For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand Full analysis + outlook by Lauri Myllyvirta: www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/7

The grassroots music scene in London is renowned around the world—and it wouldn’t be what it is without our great venues. TfL has launched a special edition Tube map which highlights grassroots venues around the city. You can see it at Outernet all month.

But her necklace.

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

This would go down very well with a Venetian Select Spritz 🍸♥️

The Trump administration has shut down the CDC's Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee, which crafted national standards for hand-washing, mask-wearing and isolating sick patients that most U.S. hospitals follow. via @nbcnews

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Καλή Πρωτομαγιά - Happy May Day!

It used to be a newspaper

NEJM the latest journal to receive letter from Trump appointed attorney asking about bias www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Gates, others launch $500 million maternal, newborn health fund, bucking aid cuts trend reut.rs/4lNdhKB

It's not rocket science.

A new article estimates that even a 10% DECLINE in MMR vax coverage in the US could lead to 11 MILLION US measles cases over 25 years. IF instead MMR coverage INCREASES by 5%, cases would falled to <10K. Given infectiousness of Measlies, it's VITAL to ⬆️ MMR vax rates. Measles info below 1/2

Can’t bring myself to watch Civil War; it just seems too close to the bone

Friends, a bit of good news! 🎉 (We take it whenever we can!) The Trump admin reversed their decision to cut funding for the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a landmark study that’s essential in advancing our understanding of women’s health. 🙌

*28 point swing* in voters' confidence that Trump can 'make good decisions about economic policy' and once again I remind you: the economic pain has not yet begun, this is all just stock market vibes

This is a terrible terrible destructive decision. These sorts of long running research programmes take decades to build and their insights accumulate over decades too - the longer they run, the more valuable they become. This is knowledge vandalism. Nothing new and shiny can replace it.

Oh lovely. New shoes always felt like a treat. But I hated the WHSmiths ‘Back to School’ window displays in August; exercise books and pencil cases and geometry sets grimly reminding us that the summer holidays would be gone in a flash.

Looking forward to John Gummer’s BSE burger
