If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi… Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

HUGE congratulations to Firefly for an amazing landing ON THE MOON! I'm incredibly excited for so many of my science colleagues to get the first science from the lunar surface in over 50 years! fireflyspace.com/missions/blu... #BGM1

This is true. And yet The Royal Society saw fit to make him a fellow, one of the highest honours in science. And they have yet to comment on his role in the destruction of science in the USA

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

I don‘t mean to be harsh, but I really think that a fundamental problem of UK Governance is that the entire debate surrounding it is focused on what is politically feasible in the short term and not on which issues/ threats need to be addressed, and fast. Your logic relies on a vanishing world.

Don’t ever let Starmer defend this Aid cut as ‘needing to make hard decisions’. It’s the reverse. Reducing support for the voiceless is the very easiest, most cowardly path he could have taken.

In other news, Ramadan is starting on Saturday. Be kind to your Muslims friends who are fasting. If you think we're ignoring you around 5 pm, just know we're in a Ramadan Hibernation Zone preparing for sunset when we can eat and drink.

Not good news for 🧪 science in the UK. Having economic return as a focus for science funding in the UK rather than a consequence is a good way to guarantee that we miss the real innovations, where the huge economic benefits of “useless” research aren’t a priori apparent.

The other notable thing is how much staff is on the ground monitoring electronic gates. A business that instead of investing in infrastructure and skilled personnel to run the system, cuts wherever it can and then recruits for roles that are essentially policing for when customers get annoyed.

This is a must watch video for anyone engaged in the space agency, or who plans to rely on SpaceX's StarShip or StarShip HLS for their launch needs, or lunar space flight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cZE...

At some point global leaders are going to have to start acknowledging that Trump's America can't be worked with. His Presidency has made neo-Nazis so emboldened that even Bardella is put off. That should be a sign to stop pretending it is business as usual. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A former commander of an International Space Station mission counters Elon Musk’s misinformation about the current ISS mission. Musk lashes out and calls him “fully retarded” and an “idiot.”

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

The Planetary Society strongly opposes the sudden, indiscriminate dismissal of more than 1,000 scientists, engineers, and explorers at NASA — the largest involuntary workforce reduction since the end of the Apollo program. Read more on our stance. ⬇️

Professors please pull up a chair. I’ve been talking to my classes about what has been going on. I explained indirect costs to them. I talked to them about what a probationary employee is in the government. At the end of class they asked if we could talk about it more. (1/)

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

The left map shows the parts of Germany with the highest percentage of Syrian refugees. The right map shows public support for the anti-migrant AfD. Something to keep in mind when reading stories that posit a direct link between refugee numbers and support for the far-right.

The ACS has deleted its website on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect. And with that move, have shown they are worthy of none of the latter. People ask why no-one stands up to fascists, this is why - they are too worried about their own standing to challenge it. www.acs.org/about/divers...
