Ed Miliband turns on Elon Musk. “He incites violence on our steeets. He calls for the overthrow of our government. He disseminates disinformation. He thinks he can tell us how to run Britain. We have a message for Elon Musk: ‘Get the hell out of our politics and our country!’”

It's probably not a bad idea to just let Farage get out there as much as he can and show the public just how deeply weird and off-putting he is to the vast majority of us.

I mean, when it comes to science I usually side with the vast majority of trained scientific opinion. I don't know about you?
Farage asked on @lbc.co.uk whether he agreed with on the unproven link between paracetamol and autism
“I have no idea... We were told thalidomide was a v safe drug and it isn’t. who knows. I don’t know, you don’t know…when it comes to science I don’t side with anybody. It’s never settled.”

The media failing to report growing post-Trump scepticism about quitting international treaties is related to its misreporting of asylum protests as a mass movement

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome
think this is sort of interesting as actually.....no you probably didn't need to do "more research" into it? you just had to trust the state and local authorities to know better than you when it came to vaccinating your child? not good that the internet has killed faith in institutions!

Censorship of musicians on the BBC - I wouldn't be surprised if there was a boycott
- BBC said that now any music performances deemed 'high risk' will no be broadcast live or streamed live.
- Decision had been taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time without need of delay, but now "this was clearly not the case."

Very moving to now watch that clip of the Anfield crowd singing Jota's name at the title celebrations. The fragility of it all, to go from that and his marriage, to being with his brother and leaving behind three young kids. Tragic. RIP.

Giant asteroid could crash into moon in 2032, firing debris towards Earth
Researchers say satellites may be at risk and impact could create a spectacular meteor shower in the skies
If a giant asteroid smashes into the moon in 2032 it could send lunar debris hurtling towards Earth, researchers have said, posing a risk to satellites but also creating a rare and spectacularly vivid meteor shower visible in the skies.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 triggered a planetary defence response earlier this year after telescope observations revealed the “city killer” had a 3% chance of colliding with Earth. Continue reading...
