Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Based on the past month: Land of the free? Or land of the compliant? To be fair, I've never heard 'do you have a permit?' as often as I do on US TV. Guns don't even to factor as much as permits for Home Owner Associations haha

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

In conversation with a German-Italian friend: They were horrified to learn that Brits made a board game about Colditz, heavily featuring Nazi iconography!? When they first learned about this, it was in the context of UK friends unthinkingly getting it out of the cupboard to play. 🤔

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

hey, so, if you're a federal worker or contractor and you want to talk about why your work is important, you can contact someone who actually cares about it and wants to learn about it, rather than elon musk, who does not.

My first ever issue of White Dwarf (currently in the office) was 201. I always wondered what was in the celebratory issue 200, and when I saw a job lot on eBay, including 160 with those dwarves for £1 each... I clicked! Haha

What makes the current crop of rich people in this country so intolerable is that they could easily bail this institute out–and who doesn't like dinosaurs–and gain some popularity. But they are so greedy, they just won't help anyone but themselves. www.science.org/content/arti...

Waiting for a PC process: Watching 'How the Nazis Lost the War'. Mussolini looks like a brash incompetent in episode 1. I remember a friend's Dad driving us to the bus station in L'Aquila. I noticed a looming block which they scoffed at as a fascist building. Such times have always been so close!
