NIH directors have pointed to below estimates as evidence that Sweden was 'best in the world at protecting human life' for COVID (www.city-journal.org/article/nih-...). But plot doesn't show what they apparently think it shows - and there is a big red flag that immediately jumps out... 🧵

The latest #BBC controversy is pat of a long culture war about the BBC & UK. The BBC is not a neutral organisation as some of its defenders think. It sits in an ideological space articulating British liberal democratic values. These are under attack from right, left, Scottish independenistas & more.

I love these renders of that early TNG bridge concept by Tadeo D'Oria. @rekkert.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
This style of bridge also featured in the “The Word of God” webcomic by @mark2000.bsky.social and @ryanthomasriddle.com
These ‘roads not taken’ designs are always so fascinating to me. /2

The Enterprise-D bridge we got is my favourite from all the shows, so things worked out well. But I've always found these ideas for a much more casual, democratic bridge to be very appealing. I'd still like to see something like this in a Star Trek series one day. /1
