GSK CEO got 50% pay rise to £15.6m.
Did you?
Neoliberals moan about rise in minimum wage. Govts preach pay restraint to workers. Silence on profiteering, hikes in exec pay/perks, dividends, share buybacks.
The state devoted to welfare of the super rich.
Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.
Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments
Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished
The US kept punching the Viet Cong when they were down.
Just sayin'
A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer:
The cases described are fictional.
With new reporting that self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and more than a few senior US military commanders are intent on igniting a Christian holy war and triggering Armageddon, it’s time to re-share this disturbing 1984 radio documentary, “Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon.”
Sloppy writing by the New Scientist. The V1 "doodlebug" was not a "rocket". It was a pulse-jet powered flying bomb.
So yes, a similar concept to the Shahed, but very poor guidance, no propeller, and certainly no rocket.
I've noticed an insidious rise in trolls and shitposters, recently, on Bluesky. It's feeling a bit more like the Xitter world from which many of us were trying to escape. I'm not surprised if its stopping sensible people from bothering. Masto still feels slightly less threatening, though.
Of course it's on the App. And reported on the day. Shitposters like you are not helping anyone. Go back to X where you belong.
The replies to this post look more like X/Twitter than early Bluesky. Unfortunately, it seems the shitposters, trolls, and attack dogs have now migrated.
From Let It Bee to Filth Hounds of Hades, the eighty best/worst British album titles of the 1980s.

I think I'd take this story a bit more seriously if Jeff Bezos didn't own the Washington Post. Yes, I can see that it would help some people, but it's also a way to encourage the sale of both formats to more customers.
Some sketchbook doodles leading up to the cartoon below. Sadly there was no space for Kate Bush in the final artwork. #wutheringheights

Nice. Includes many reasons why I rarely listen to anybody's damned podcast.
Looks good to me. Just a fusion variant of a filled Yorkshire pudding. Where can I try one?

The website is a bit OTT. What's wrong with a simple list of documents, and links to illustrations?

As the researchers note, getting evidence for this type of activity is usually difficult (or impossible), using most of the other “radiation detection methods” used in the lab.
But use the right method, and here it is - for all to see.
A simple and elegant experiment - well executed, and clearly written-up.
The evidence for nuclear effects, within metal lattices, following the absorption of hydrogen atoms, has long been argued about. (n.b. "Hydrogen embrittlement" is still not understood.)
T-Shirt printed with Gary Larson's enigmatic "Cow Tools" cartoon.
It had to be done.

A perverse inversion of the "Prisoner's Dilemma".
Nathan Gill pleading guilty and being sentenced to 10.5 yrs for accepting Russian bribes should have been enough to take down the party completely - but like Trump, they play by different rules.
If they were ever to reach govt they'd weaponise the rule of law against us, again just like Trump.

Boyling has arrived at the #spycops inquiry with a new look. Straight out of central casting for #slowhorses. Cross between Jackson Lamb & River Cartwright. Turtle neck sweater rather than shirt & tie going for academic or Mission Impossible vibes. #PaidToLie #chameleon
