Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Fun and highly informative few days in Ghent attending the international conference on archaeological prospecting #ICAP2025 If you couldn't attend and would like to read the extended abstracts you can find them here: journals.openedition.org/archeoscienc...

Another legacy from Rayner. Workers Rights. Most of these will impact most workers. Thank you Angela Rayner 👏👏👏

Everything Farage and RefUK plan rests on them dragging us out of the ECHR. That's why we have to start defending and informing about it NOW. People need to be afraid of leaving it. They need to know the move will threaten their OWN right to ... 🔥 A fair trial 🔥 Fair laws 🔥 Protection from execution

New report available from our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at Somerleyton Hall in June 2025: historicengland.org.uk/research/res... The data suggests the presence of heated flower beds, known as "hot beds", extending immediately beyond the main glass houses.

The excellent engineer who expertly repaired our dishwasher today (he had never seen such an ancient heat exchanger...) had a degree in philosophy and a wonderful solution to the age old problem of the unmatched sock conundrum. Safe to say we got far more value than his miserly call put fee...

We stole a couple of nights from live gig prep to work up a final parody of the school year. So, prompted by Farage's stunt in the Channel last week, this one's called "Nigel Doesn't Care" and is a twist on the epic Bon Jovi track "Livin' on a Prayer". Have a great weekend 😎🎶 youtu.be/3gbd01c4Rcc

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

This was a most excellent evening physics, love and navigating grief, all through stars too numerous to name. Thank you Julian. Don't wear mauve. www.chichesterfringe.co.uk/event-detail...

Can you survey inside the glass house cafe? Oh yes, I think we can give that a go!

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU

Oh my days...

I believe he would do a thing like that.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

fascism is NOT inevitable, indeed it’s whole schtick is scaring us into accepting it’s inevitability. Teaching people critical thought and creative agency is another great way to strengthen our social immune system. And a large dollop of social media regulation, and a handle on lobbyists also helps🇬🇧

This week last year (2024) the sun was shining at Viroconium Cornoviorum (Wroxeter Roman City, Shropshire) too! And here is an animation of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data set we collected. #geophysics #archaeology #groundpenetratingradar

Touch and go for a while but, thankfully, the patient made a full recovery...

Good night Mum. Thanks for everything.

Phew! A welcome piece of good news back-up by rigorous experimental data... BBC News - RAF ban on 'exploding' Tunnock's teacakes lifted www.bbc.com/news/article...

This cheered me up such a joyful work!

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

By coincidence I happen to be just round the corner... really disappointed that I missed this

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky. Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky. That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

Leg day at the geophysics gym...

Animation of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) I made from the data I collected at St Osyth's Priory, St Osyth, Essex. This form of presentation helps to visualise a complex 3D data set and allows the variation of significant anomalies to be seen with depth. #geophysics #archaeology

Second up... St Osyth's Priory, St Osyth, Essex, full report on the Ground Penetrating Radar and earth resistance surveys can be downloaded here: #geophysics #archaeology historicengland.org.uk/research/res...

An ecclesiastical double bill of recent geophysical survey reports... first up Lesnes Abbey, Bexley, Greater London you can down load the full PDF report here: historicengland.org.uk/research/res... #geophysics #archaeology

Yesterday I couldn't get the link to work, but today I was actually able to look at the site and Y'ALL y'all y'all - this is so cool. So many stories! So many different fields! Women at sea is a very exciting thing to be studying! hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/whats-on/rew...

Tidying up and found a stash of ancient (in so many ways...) hysteresis loops. Back in the day when Tesla were just a how-big-is-your-field thing... more details in the alt-text...

Recommend following @altnps.bsky.social to follow what is happening in the US. It all sounds horrendous.

44,000 protested against the AfD and fascism in Stuttgart yesterday.

Lovely walk in the south downs this afternoon. Good to feel the first signs of spring ushered in celebration of Candlemas.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

The Beatles didn’t need a roof to be on top. But there they were Jan. 30, 1969 - 56 years ago today - playing without a gimmick atop 3 Savile Row, a venue needing no fabrication, ending a film and adding an iconic image to their legacy. Happy Rooftop Day, everybody! Context now, rewatch notes later
