I despised Bester intensely. Auch an evil, wicked man who believed he was right. A brilliant character, Koenig played his magnificently. After the initial shock, it became clear there wasn't a shred of Chekov in there.

If you're still on X ... now my friends is the time to pull that plug. This very dangerous man needs to be stopped, not enabled www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

No pressure but if this gets to a million views, I'll be able to pay the mortgage this month. Thank you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHUv...

Why are these fifth columnists even tolerated? If we had a decent press, people like Tugendhat would be savaged for the harms they are proposing on all of us.

I wish people would pay more attention to people like this. People keep falling for the far-right's messaging, and they're getting far too much exposure without any push back.

This is an interesting interview. Not sure what the FCC has against it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLDE...

Now James Orr has stepped down as Reform UK's Head of Policy after C4's report, questions remain for Cambridge – where he is Associate Professor. Byline Times revealed serious concerns about his activities there months ago. We all know there won't now be 200+ articles on him and his life don't we?

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

I agreed about the junk that is left in orbit, and I'd like more care and thought to be given to what is put into space. But the creation of a new crater on the moon is hardly a rare occurrence.

Zero points. If you have ever played that game, you'll understand why all of that is bad

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

"There will be another Jason Arday. We know this. Because the media knows this. The press isn't free if it lacks impunity to do anything it likes. It is how power protects itself. By declaring it has none. There is no check to fetter power when unfettered power resides in the check." My Editorial:

I didn't know @garybrannan.bsky.social was a pilot!

It feels like physics/astrophysics/astronomy is being dismantled in this country. LHCb funding, Vera Rubin, now Lovell? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

earth.nullschool.net is a great resource for viewing the weather. Here we can see the extent of the wildfires in Canada.

Very sad to hear about Sam Neill. He played the worst of characters, and the best, all of the very well. Event Horizon, Jurassic Park, The Dish are all classics. The film of his I same most recently was more disturbing than Event Horizon, Possession (1981) www.imdb.com/title/tt0082...

i don't even have to read it to think "Thanks Dr Beth Mole" 😁

UMA is not a new concept, but the application here is. The SGI O2 (1996) is the first I can think of where UMA was touted as a defining characteristic. wccftech.com/amd-unified-...

Well, quite.

Well done USA, they're getting closer to a Schriftleitergesetz. www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

Trying to Tell Myself I'm Cultured by Listening to Radio 3 in the Car But Then This Happens

Step-by-step it's important to express the sentiment in this country or it will be overlooked.

A few home truths for the University of Nottingham’s senior management, in this open letter (nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/) But will they even read the letter, let alone reconsider their disastrous policy? I doubt it. But please prove me wrong.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Good to see a thousand signatories. If you work in academia, please consider signing this letter expressing horror at the proposed destruction of one of the UK’s most successful physics departments. 🔭🧪 nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/

If you work in a university, please consider signing this petition against the destruction of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. I doubt it’ll do much good, but the staff deserve all the positive words they can get. nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/...

They do know it is based on an arcade beat-em-up, and not Shakespeare? Don't they?

Someone this greedy and corrupt will never act in the best interests of the country. He showed you with Brexit. He showed you with Reform councils. He showed you with his own constituency. He’ll lie to your face and sell you out. Do not let him win because then we all lose. Do not vote Reform.

NEW: Reform UK billboard has been torn down in Greenock after the picture of Scottish leader Malcolm Offord was vandalised with graffiti stating 'I have six houses'

It smells Trumpian too. Trump wants to, and tries to treat Democrats majority states in the same way. Our elected representatives represent everyone in the parish, council and ward, not just the ones who voted for them. Often they are in the minority.

Just a reminder that kings do vary in quality. The English Henry VI wasn't great, Henry VIII famously made his own religion to divorce.

Washington Hilton, where Trump will soon be arriving for the White House correspondents’ dinner. End the cover-up.

It's a shame the Comet didn't go into production with its main undercarriage having a single tyre with a big wheel :-) youtu.be/alk5ESU4MXU?...

The USA needs nobody like him, and so many more people like her.

It is breathtaking the degree in which this has happened and is still happening.

He is from the country whose president has threatened Canada, Panama, Greenland and Cuba. Most recently they have said that they are now ready for their next conquest. Just exactly which side of WWII is today's USA behaving like?

Fingers crossed!

Just watched a fantastic film "The Bedford Incident" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bed... Around the mid-point there is a fantastic scene were Sidney Poitiers's reporter and Richard Widmark's captain reverse dominance in a conversation about the captain's past.

I am reminded of how Mr Spock has three ears. He has a left ear, a right ear and the final front ear.

Very perceptive.

"Can I connect a..." "Yes"

True that. Putin agrees.
