Why does "algebra", "algorithm" and a great many stars in the sky begin with "al"? Where do our numerals come from? Who invented chemistry? To bring things up to date: Omar M. Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. RFK Jr is an ignorant (yet educated) racist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_M....

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

More ‘Anti-BBC bashing’ by the RW press, superbly debunked by the brilliant @monkemma.bsky.social It’s almost like they’re trying to discredit the BBC to add ‘fake’ evidence on behalf of an overseas dictator🤷‍♂️

Emma Monk@monkemma.bsky.social

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Or don't buy pumpkins at all. What a waste of everything. The resources wasted to grow them could be used to grow useful produce. The carbon footprint to ship them everywhere is unnecessary.

Little Green Space 🐝@lgspace.bsky.social

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating mouldy pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/5-i...

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Absolutely FABULOUS news for all life on Earth, especially the Amazon rainforest!!!! Despite the fascists playing every dirty, cheating trick in the book to steal this election, the people of Brazil saw through the lies. So, so, happy and relieved this morning 🇧🇷 👏 share.google/UdpzcSkD5us7...

If you see the word mifepristone in the news, think Leonard Leo. This article is good, but from 2024. Needs an update. This is all to get mifepristone cases before the Leonard Leo Catholic Supreme Court, to concoct legal theory to ban it, according to Catholic theology. 19thnews.org/2024/01/leon...

“Trump's British apologists are finally starting to calculate… their potential reward for supporting this lame duck President in the US is no longer worth the growing cost to their reputations in the UK” Too late, Farage. Too much MAGA money. Too much fawning. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-apo...

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

A case of “What happened in Moscow didn’t stay in Moscow.” Nearly 40 years later, the consequences are still unfolding.

Peter Kay@theonlypeterkay.bsky.social

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Shortly afterwards he spent nearly $95,000 on newspaper advertisements attacking US foreign policy and demanding that America’s allies pay for their defence. Nearly 40 years later, he’s still on message. Er, for the Kremlin. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilan...

In this undercover footage, Nigel Farage's righthand man, Dan Jukes, appears to suggest that corruption, with Farage, is "priced in". Like Trump, he uses politics to enrich himself. Don't let anyone claim they were not warned. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"There was no Reform documentary. You didn't see it. It doesn't exist. Every party has a few bad apples. If there WAS blatant racism, misogyny & threats to behead the King, they were taken out of context. However, Keir Starmer has serious questions to answer here..." Chris Mason: BBC Opinion Flap

The situation in Ukraine reminds me of the Czech industrial capacity before WW2. Allowing Hitler to take over Czechoslovakia was one of the most significant moments in the build up to war.
