You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

The number of people who think this is "sensible" politics and don't understand why it's a massive uncrossable red line for millions of Labour's supposed core constituency continues to blow my mind. All the minor percentage shifts in NHS waiting lists will never make up for this nativist cruelty.

This is a real timelapse video of the Moon transiting in front of the Earth. It was captured by the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft in November 2022 while flying at it's furthest point from the Earth. The video covers about 3.75 hours of real time. 🔭🧪

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Whilst *waves at everything* is happening, HOUSING is still the number one issue impacting the cost of living and therefore the quality of people’s lives in the UK. Yet, when was the last time you heard a politician discuss it, yet alone have a plan?

Will guests be drinking from the skulls of Palestinians on Palantir's AI generated kill lists?

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Elon would rather go to Mars or the Moon than accept that he has the resources to actually make Earth a better place for everyone to live.

So thrilled to be in Ink, Sweat and Tears!

WHAT is that new Alexa logo about? a is for abomination. a is for arse. a is for amateur

@breakintoprogram.co.uk my son is starting to learn 6502 assembler. Are there any PC based programs which are a dev system so he could type out the assembler in one window and then hit a hot key or button to see it as it would run on a c64 in another window?

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad. Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO

The #ReadingRights campaign calls for national provision so that every child has access to books and reading from their earliest years. Find out more here: www.booktrust.org.uk/about-us/rea...

Just been listening to Mark Kermode’s review of Melania, which he agreed to watch for a charity donation “It’s a heist movie about a crime family”

This morning the moon is an angel’s fingerprint on the window to reality. How does it feel to be cold? What does regret taste like?

Astronaut Sally Ride made history as the first American woman in space aboard the Challenger. She joined NASA in 1978 and became the third woman in space. Ride remains the youngest American astronaut to travel to space at age 32. She passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2012.

Is Mandelson's real sin that he gave confidential information to Epstein? Or that he got caught doing what so many do? Why do Ministers sell access to business people for huge 'donations'?

Today my body is a cupboard of brooms and pans imitating the walk of a human

In the Night Manager with Tom Iggle-Piggleston is very good

Islington today outside waterstones. I hope the rain didn't wash it all away.

Urgh, YES!

The spelling of February drives me nuts. I’m going to be angry for the next twenty-eight days

February brings us closer to the return of bumblebees – you might be lucky enough to see some this month 🤞 Bumblebee queens emerge from hibernation in spring. Keep your eyes peeled this month for early emerging Tree and Buff-tailed bumblebees 👀 Have you spotted your first bumblebee of 2026?

Children starve while boots costing many thousands of dollars leave their mark upon the surface of the moon... It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.

Someone bring me some red yarn

Wonder Man is the best thing Marvel have put out in years. Refreshing to see something different, something giving time to character development rather than just pushing them from A to B in order to hit tent-pole action sequences

I'm a huge fan of @jencarney.bsky.social's Famous series, and book three, The Day My Brother Got Famous, is the best so far. After his dog and school, it's Ferris's new foster brother's turn to hit the headlines. Funny, emotional and very enjoyable. Ideal for Y3/4 and a great class story.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We had such a great time with @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social today 📚 Come with us behind the scenes at our virtual author workshop to hear about Maisie's exciting new book - and why representation is so important in children's books. #BookTrustRepresents

I’m about to join a role playing game. I haven’t done this since I was about fourteen. It was dungeons and dragons back then but tonight it will be Cthulhu

SOMEONE CALL THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS. I have found the most middle class review ever on Ocado for Comte cheese. Steady yourselves for this Ready? You’re not even close to being ready

If we ever see the other side of this current rise of fascism then we should dismantle companies who are complicit. No excuses. No mitigations for economic reasons. The workers will form new companies and disgraced brands will be rightly extinguished and their owners punished

I remember reading a book that spoke of some of the post-war Nazi sympathisers struggling to maintain their outright denial when a businessman came forward insisting a patent of his regarding the camp ovens be recognised so he could make money from it by other means after the war was over

Also worth noting that in the Spanish Civil War the fascists had similar corporate support including petrol from Texaco without which they probably would have lost

A reminder of the part corporations play in world events, and how they are never held accountable

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sorry, but pubs are to get 100 million to help prop them up and school libraries have to fight over 5 million is it? Year of Reading? They're taking the piss.
