Australia and New Zealand are best frenemies - famously summed up by NZ prime minister Robert Muldoon's comment that a Kiwi emigrating to Australia raised the average IQ of both nations - so I'm sure the Aussie navy knocking out Kiwi-fi went down without any acerbic comments whatsoever...

I'm reading the report behind these headlines about glyphosate and it may be the most scientifically illiterate thing I've come across (although it's a close thing with the recent MAHA report). 1/n

Guardian Science reporting has gone from best in class to on par with the Daily Mail. Astonishing. Aside from anything else, there is no link between glyphosate and cancer. This is extremely well researched and it's one of the safest pesticides out there. Will the Guardian change the headlines?

This photo of magnetic core memory popped up, taken by Ansel Adams. I investigated a bit: this memory holds 4000 bits, each stored in a tiny magnetized ferrite ring. It may be from an IBM 705 vacuum-tube business computer. 1/N

Six years ago today, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. It's not the end, it's a new trickier beginning. I've carpe'd the diem and slept a lot. I've had four covids,two heart attacks, one wedding, several quiz titles and the best gigs of my career. I know it's trite. But life is for living. Fight.

🧵 This is a perfect example of how disordered discourse reshapes democratic politics, not by policy failure, but by the performative targeting of identity. Let’s unpack what’s happening.

This is so ridiculously harmful and has nothing to do with protecting women. It is about social hygiene and the fact that some people think sex work is gross. And it has massive knock on effects.
