It's fascinating to watch the Right decide "some science good, some science bad". Science validity should not be a political choice. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1896474949290013005.html

If the world has just seen that the King has no clothes and someone called it out, where does that leave everything else he has said in the last 6 weeks? Like the Gaza Riviera.

#Cocktail - Astoria on the rocks 50ml Gin, 25ml Dry Vermouth, prime number of olives (1,3,5), Lemon twist. Swirl with ice in a mixing glass for 20secs or so. Pour all of it into the frozen rocks glass and add another cube or two. 2:1 is a very wet Martini so knock yourself out with 60:30 or more.

One of the weirder moments about yesterday's meeting was when the camera pulled back. There were so many people in the room. And that's entourage as well as press. In normal countries, there's one or two people and a single official camera crew. In the USA they can't do a meeting or public […]

#Cocktail - Palmetto 45ml Light Rum, 15ml Cointreau, 15ml Lemon, 15ml Abricot I thought a Palmetto was a dark rum manhattan. But apparently it's also a Rum&Apricot sidecar. Works well (better) I think.

Over the next few nights, Mercury should be just visible next to Saturn close to the horizon just after sunset. I think I can see Saturn tonight, but not two planet/stars close together. Unless Mercury is so close it looks like one. Using an 8*30 monocular so not a real telescope. Anyone else […]

Broken agreements as Gaza ceasefire phase one nears end. Tanks in West Bank. Broken ceasefire and permanent military bases in Lebanon. Syrian territory and water. Unconditional support from the USA. Weapons and surveillance support from the UK. False flag attacks. Can you see what it is yet?

I don't have a lot of sympathy for the Farming lobby. Not just because they've been captured by the far-right. If you run a small family farm, you're running a small business. You will inevitably have a banker, an accountant and a lawyer. In which case, spend the relatively small amount of […]

Make the chickens wear FFP3 masks. That'll stop the spread of avian flu. If that doesn't work, maybe we can teach them to wash their feet and beaks. /s BTW. Avian flu gives you wings, is airborne and is windborne. Air quality mitigations like FFP3 masks, HEPA filters, Far UVC, voluntary […]
