Starmer says the SNP insults Scotland by planning for independence. The only one insulting Scotland is Starmer with his refusal to even say how another referendum will be held. If this continues the SNP should consider withdrawing its MPs from Westminster

Anthropologists and historians tend to think of the color palette humans used tens of thousands of years ago as unreflective of the real-world gamut, limited to black, white, and the ochres (red, yellow, brown). If they also had blues and greens, it changes the picture of their culture.
Since it's hardly found as #pigment in nature, the colour #blue is believed to be a rather modern addition to our painting kits.
Until now: Turns out that apparently already #Paleolithic artists used blue pigment.

This is probably what happens when you suck up to Trump - he feels emboldened. Your fault Starmer.
It’s true— by designating ANTIFA as the enemy, including all Democrats and leftists and Trump critics and people of color and women— Trump is admitting that he is a Fascist dictator who will crack down upon any and all opposition.

This is an amazing image: someone has now actually seen a young planet about 5x Jupiter's mass (the bright dot) actively in the process of picking up dust from its protoplanetary disk (leaving the dark gap). (Further data even directly detected hydrogen gas actively falling onto the planet!) Cool!!
A very hungry planet! 🪐
What appears to be a ripple in space is actually a newborn planet, eating its way through its dusty cradle around a younger version of our Sun 🌞
