I had to laugh when @ZackPolanski was accused on @GMB of being angry, when in truth, he was answering in a calm and professional manner, while @edballs was tuning into the Incredible Hulk. Vote.GreenParty.org.uk and rattle the establishment

This is pretty cool. @SurreySat has been engaged to develop the spacecraft platform for the Lazuli space observatory, which is Eric and Wendy Schmidt's idea for a privately-built telescope with a primary mirror larger than Hubble's.

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

The BBC (this is from the ten o'clock news last night) is blurring out some signs/banners in Minnesota demonstrations. a) Why is it doing so, and b) why is it not explaining why it is doing so to its viewers? cc @BBCRosAtkins, @BBCNews, @BowenBBC

@TheEconomist @Eaterofsun @jonfasman @josiedelap @currhenry Unfortunately Olly Morton was particularly dislikable on your Books podcast. The final straw was his dismissal of JK Rowling whom he treated with contempt. He obviously has not actually read anything JKR has said on the protection of women’s rights and saftey

@NetflixUK Will you be airing seasons 2 and 3 of Dark Winds? Seems weird to just have the first (which was very good) (Also: have you given up on your bluesky account? -- seems to be unattended)

I realized the Doom graphics engine running on a pregnancy test CPU could handle all of North American Air Traffic Control. I'm going to sit down for a bit.

Oh, just a caterpillar that keeps all the husks it shed from its head when it was smaller as a kind of elaborate hat … because why wouldn’t you? Congratulations to Georgina Steytler, who just won a wildlife photography award for this extraordinary image!

“About 2:00pm on Saturday, mine workers found the object burning near a remote access road and alerted emergency services. Police said it may be "a composite-overwrapped pressure vessel or rocket tank", from a space vessel.”

Your space agency doesn't care. • NASA Acting Admin. Sean Duffy has done zero interviews with space media since appointment. • NASA's senior exploration officials have not done press in a year. • Amit Kshatriya, who is now basically running the agency, has done zero press.

HLS is a public program. We deserve some sort of info, reveal, hell even hype? 2026 is the year to do this. With Artemis 2, starship orbit, refill etc. I remember when SpaceX had a whole unveiling of Crew Dragon. Let’s do the same for HLS.

James Marriott@j_amesmarriott·
In 1940 George Orwell reported on the reading habits of children: Dickens, Shakespeare, Defoe, RL Stevenson and GK Chesterton. Incomprehensible now. I'm not sure our culture and politics can survive the accompanying loss of critical thinking, attention and intelligence.

Instead of a clear answer on #Mars Sample Return @SecDuffyNASA goes off on a tangent and then another tangent about how interested Trump is in space, everyone thinks science is important etc.

I guess budget cuts at NASA have forced NASA to give up the table and chairs it would normally use for a press briefing. Tough times!
