I doubled over on Friday when I read the news that Alexei Navalny had died in captivity in a remote Arctic outpost in Putin’s bleak Gulag Archipelago.

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

This is the *most* British science story.

Enthusiastic amateurs.
Quietly recording 1000s of records.
To be mirrored later by the volunteers who digitised each of those original hand written numbers.
Sometimes it’s not the data - it’s the people that make the story.

Over the past three centuries, thousands of people across the British & Irish Isles have recorded rainfall, often every day for decades. Here we recognise some of the individuals who made particularly important contributions.

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Hours before Trump removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner, his agency clashed with the White House over sharing immigrants’ tax data.
