Sure, @steampowered.com's monopoly is bad, but so is having to tolerate a whole load of crap alternative platforms.

Over my whole lifetime, a persistent reason for public support of the UK's (imperfect) socialised healthcare service, the NHS, has simply been looking over the pond to see the appalling shitshow of US provision.
Hey @royalsociety.org - hate to break it to you, but just because you were formed in the wake of Britain's last civil war, doesn't mean you'll weather one fomented by your most racist, most scumbaggy Fellow. You're embarrassing UK science by acquiescing to a fellow who doesn't even respect you.
(On the assumption, of course, that this moth has been doing the same thing as Biston betularia since the industrial revolution kicked-off ...)
The classic dilemma: does it want the short-term benefit of fossil fuel soot providing camouflage, or the long-term benefit of fossil fuel abandonment, reduced sooty camouflage, but less climate change ravaging its habitat?
Shai-Hulud!
Thinking back to *that* rat, I'm only surprised that the AI didn't put a massive penis on Jupiter.
Not at all surprised at all that it was a predatory journal turned the handle on this one.

Thanks for this! It's useful to see. NERC seems hovering at ~25% (with noise).
There might be a glitch with the total line as it starts higher than any of the others. Or I'm misunderstanding the "mean".

Today in metaphors for gross bureaucratic overreach, near-complete lack of perspective, blind qualitative thinking, wildly disproportionate targeting of low-hanging fruit, effective favouring of corporate offenders, spiteful use of enforcement, unconscionable failure to see the woods for the trees.

(I wondered for a moment if the fictional #KingKong owed anything to these fictional mountains, but I clearly didn't know my modern mythology - King Kong lived on Skull Island in the Indian Ocean, somewhere that I don't think made it onto any of James Rennell's maps)
Apparently the idea of the mountain range originated with an explorer, #MungoPark, whose work Rennell used to make his maps. But his interest in the mountains stemmed from his theory that the #NigerRiver terminated in an #EndorheicLake. A strange - but great - footnote on a giant of oceanography.

The intriguing #MountainsOfKong got a passing mention on this morning's #StartTheWeek on #BBCRadio4. Looking them up on @wikipedia.org, I was surprised to discover that an early proponent of this wholly fictional range was none other than the 🌊 oceanographer, #JamesRennell.
