Is this guy for real? You lost Vietnam. You lost Afghanistan. You are not invulnerable. This is militarism at its worst.

I'm so disappointed that the current US administration has cancelled the Osiris-Apex mission to asteroid Apophis. Having been involved with Osiris-REx, I'm astonished. Other missions gone too and many space science projects cancelled. What is going on?

NEWS! We have a potential meteorite fall in Suffolk, England. Our systems have recorded the fall and analysis has identified a possible area of impact. However, we have no plans at this time to conduct a search. ukmeteornetwork.org/2025/05/28/p...

I really do wish the likes of @channel5bluesky.bsky.social would stop platforming these pseudoscience nutcases like Kirstie Gallacher. She obviously skipped science at school, and she is spreading nonsensical garbage.

If a British government carried out the same sort of political attack on Oxford or Cambridge that the Trump administration is on Harvard, the backlash would be so great among media, economic and political elites that it wouldn't last the day.

I am an American citizen, raised Jewish in a Jewish family, and I am loudly saying that protesting Israel's genocidal actions against Palestinians is not antisemitism.

An absolute disgrace that Prince Eward is wearing a military uniform complete with medals. He did not, as the BBC just said, "serve in the Royal Marines." He dropped out of Recruit Orientation Phase of Initial Training. It is an insult to all veterans.

Watching "The Expanse" and in one scene I spotted comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This was the comet visited by the ESA Rosetta mission.
