No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Quite, quite extraordinary that a judge (re the Pretti shooting) needs to make this order
“Judge Eric Tostrud’s order bars the federal government from “destroying or altering evidence related to the fatal shooting involving federal officers…”

A doctor who witnessed the incident says the victim did not wield a weapon of any kind. But he saw at least 4 ICE officers point guns at him. He was shot 6 or 7 times. On rushing out he saw 3 gunshot wounds to his back, & when turned, one to his upper left chest & one poss to his neck

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

“The Brexiter insistence that the EU was irrelevant to UK security, which they claimed was entirely catered for by a US-led NATO, which was always ill-informed, is now exposed as the greatest strategic miscalculation in modern British history. “

As if he hasn’t already.
Absolutely barking but dangerous.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Time for proud, happy Londoners to stop buying, reading or sharing the #LondonStandard then….
Today’s London Standard has a big report on how the capital “isn’t working”. It blames immigrants, especially Muslims, and the lack of “White British”. It asks “if there’s a minimum number of natives” at which London must give it up its status as the UK capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

Beccy Cooper MP speaking now is a doctor specialising in public health, she is a supporter of this bill. She says this bill is clearly defined for a narrowly defined population... people coming to the end of their life with a terminal illness.
