“Iceland cake” on #GBBO incorrectly shows sedimentary strata. Iceland is almost entirely igneous (and icing boulders are presumably granite). No star baker for you sir. @chriscaselldine @hignellandrew

Can you imagine that? 😱
On #Sonnblick, at 3,169 m asl, there was not a single freezing temp during the whole month of August!
Aug. 2024 is 1st month without frost since measurements began in 1886! 🔥
No need to tell you about ice in these conditions 😭

101 degrees Fahrenheit in South Australia, the highest 'wintertime' temperature ever recorded there (crushing the old record by more than three degrees)
Ben Domensino@Ben_Domensino
Oodnadatta's final maximum temperature today was 38.5°C. This is more than 16°C above average for this time of year. It's also the highest winter temperature ever observed in South Australia, obliterating the previous record of 36.5°C from the same site on August 12, 1946.

@doctor_oxford @rcgp It would be nice to see some awareness of what PAs feel as my daughter with Biomed degree trained as a PA immediately started work in Covid hospital and after that has now left medicine because of the stress and lack of respect for her which caused her considerable distress

FINALLY the @rcgp has called for a halt on any further recruitment of PAs as doctor substitutes in general practice.
Heartfelt thanks to all frontline & senior staff who’ve fought for standards in medicine & patient safety.
Shame on the leaders who haven’t.

@LeoHickman Great to read Leo and good that you still had people to talk to. I only started with my family after retiring by which time all my father’s generation had died . Hence I have a grandfather who was illegitimate and a black hole in terms of who knew or who my great grandfather was

Update:
It has now been published.
Here's my thread about it...

THREAD🧵 I’ve been a journalist for more than 25yrs But I never thought the deepest investigation I wld ever undertake – lasting 4yrs – wld be into the confusing circumstance of my own father’s birth What I uncovered shocked me …taking me into the archives of Nazi Germany

I've written a 4,000-word article for tomorrow's Guardian.
It's taken more than 4 years to research and write.
And it's the most personal piece I've ever done.
I probably won't sleep too well tonight knowing it's finally about to drop.
Literally, it's been life-changing.

The Tropical Atlantic has never been this hot before in May.
A severe marine heatwave has developed across much of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, with water temperatures up to 5-7°F above normal in some areas.
Water temperatures in the Caribbean have already exceeded peak hurricane season levels (mid-September). This will have significant implications for marine life and hurricane season.
