Is it a sign that things are going well when your spokesperson is posting like a jilted incel 8th grader?

Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.

Labour is opening up access to subjects that have been the preserve of a privileged few for too long. We're investing in school sport & overhauling the system to end the postcode lottery. Levelling the playing field, so every child can achieve & thrive. gov.uk/government/new…

The weirdly exaggerated myths surrounding Rosalind Franklin are really something. She was a postdoc, not the "director" of the lab at King's College — that was John Randall. Watson was a postdoc at Cambridge, and Crick was a 35-year-old graduate student, having had his research work delayed by work on naval mines in World War II. The famous X-ray image showing the helical structure of DNA was taken by Raymond Gosling, a graduate student working with Franklin. It was transferred to Maurice Wilkins because Franklin had quit her job at King's, and the data belonged to the lab. She did not have the structure of DNA "completely mapped out," but in fact persisted in believing that A-DNA was not helical until 1953. She knew that B-DNA was either a single- or a double-helix, but had not fully worked out the structure by the time Watson and Crick did. Franklin died before the Nobel Prize was awarded for the work, and was therefore ineligible. Franklin's life story was remarkable enough without invented hagiography.

No, that's not how it went. Rosalind Franklin was the director of the associated research leading the main team on the DNA project. She had DNA completely mapped out. Another professor at her university handed off her notebook to a post doc and a grad student without permission. All the info was from Rosalind Franklin and her notes on Erwin Chargaff's work (they should have shared the Nobel Prize). Watson and Crick contributed NOTHING original to the project except a toilet tissue cardbaord tube cut out model of DNA that someone else later workshopped into metal for their final demo.

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good the US has abandoned this failed policy
NEXTA@nexta_tv
⚡️ BREAKING: US halts Ukraine peace talks “We were the only ones both Russians and Ukrainians were willing to talk to. So we got involved. Unfortunately, it didn’t yield results. That’s the point,” — said Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio added that Washington will return to negotiations only if the dynamics change, and noted: “If someone else wants to take this on — please, be my guest.”

@hodge_stick To acquire a nation’s citizenship, you must share its citizens’ misunderstandings about the nation’s own history.

Honestly, I’d be scared if I ran into you in a dark alley.
You’re the kind of thing parents could use to scare misbehaving kids.

King Harald V: “Norwegians come from North Norway, Central Norway, Southern Norway – and all of the other regions. Norwegians have immigrated from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Poland, from Sweden, Somalia and Syria. My grandparents came here from Denmark and England 110 years ago.”

@HollyGrayle Your kind truly is evil.
You'll demand migrants to assimilate and the moment they do you'll bitch about the fact they've assimilated.
Dumb whore.

She lives in Norway, celebrates Norway, dress in our national clothes, fights for Norway in the Olympics, she is norwegian. Proud to have her. Get your racist ass out of our affairs.

The apparent failure to build a force equal to the foundational naval task of protecting the movement of civilian shipping through contested chokepoints is a grave indictment of our naval and national leadership. The choice to launch an ill advised war in one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints when a protection of shipping mission was apparently beyond the Navy’s ability to execute represents a strategic blunder by the Trump administration of epic proportions.
Collin Koh 🇸🇬🇺🇦@CollinSLKoh
“That’s a very challenging mission in that narrow strait when it’s contested, and so when you’re in a contested environment to de-mine the strait of Hormuz or to do escort duty — is not something that’s easy to do." breakingdefense.com/2026/05/strait…

@DanNeidle @XplodingCabbage Is not all of a self employed person's remuneration coming out of profits?
English
@XplodingCabbage Surely not? Unless you are claiming all a GP’s remuneration is profit. Realistically most of it is remuneration for their labour

Have to say, at the point they got the “people think the NHS has a 34% profit margin” result, I would have stopped and asked what was going on with my methodology.
Surely people don’t really think that
Do they?
Institute of Economic Affairs@iealondon
📊 On average, Brits think the NHS makes a 34% profit. It doesn't make any. Supermarkets profits are estimated at 50%. The reality: 2–4%. Voters think energy companies make 57%. The reality: -5% to 15%. We are significantly overestimating how much companies profit.

Sad to read in @thetimes that Bridget Phillipson is blaming me for delay to EHRC Code. She certainly stoops low. She had Code for 3 months when she sent me this letter last November - no indication of any grandstanding then.

This is the direct result of Group Think at @TfL. In 2025 London recorded the highest level of serious cyclist injury since records began. Even higher than when cycle sport drove up cycling volume in 2011/12. The @MayorofLondon, @willnorman, @TfL and its board are hiding behind comparisons with 2010/14.

Very kind of Russia.
Shutting the road to civilian traffic is an open invitation for Ukraine to destroy everything that moves on it.
Clément Molin@clement_molin
Russia 🇷🇺 is shutting the Rostov-Crimea road for civilian traffic after multiple ukrainian 🇺🇦 strikes hit this critical road More strikes are also hitting the Mariupol-Donetsk highway. Right now, all the land corridor to Crimea is threatened. 🧵THREAD🧵1/10 ⬇️
