Area-the-size-of-Wales needs to up its game.
Paul Byrne@theplanetaryguy.com · 2h agoThis is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

Ah, growth. Can we find language and new ideas, please. This paradigm has run its course. In 2010, gdp was £1.56 trillion. In 2025, it was £3.04 trillion. "Level with the British people" is a phrase that's often bandied around. Who dares?
Daisy Cooper MP 🔶@libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 1h agoA plan for growth can’t wait until the October Budget. Burnham must restart talks with European leaders now.

Not surprised to see the leader of the Conservatives being so dismissive about the very important role of local councillors btw, it’s her party that systematically attempted to destroy local government and all that it does
I have read Joshua Bonehill-Paine’s blogpost from April entitled “Inside the Mind of an Antisemite -and How I Escaped It”. It’s a fascinating account of being consumed by hateful, extremist ideology. You know what’s not in there? An apology. To Luciana Berger or the wider Jewish community
After more than 1,000 days beneath the rubble, the remains of over 100 victims have finally been recovered and laid to rest.
The record temperatures, wildfires and drought we have seen in the UK & Europe is climate change in action. There is hope. It has been a record year for renewable energy generation, all new homes will have solar panels from next year. But we must accelerate the transition to clean & green energy.
They did not "go rogue." They did what they were told.

We UK citizens resident in the EU are not facing "systematic failures" experienced by EU citizens in the UK, some of whom are now facing letters from the HO alleging they were wrongly given settled status.
Sarah Calvert 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇪🇺@sarahcalvert.bsky.social · 2d agoNo, there isn't. It's very wrong to suggest there is. Those of us resident in the EU don't need seeds of uncertainty planted by some random UK resident. Solidarity with EU citizens resident in the UK as ever. I know they are anxious at this moment. @the3million.bsky.social
In my observation of AI chatbots: women are not used to being validated. We also have the bullshit radars of an oppressed class. Sycophancy is annoying but a refreshing change. For men, sycophancy builds the validation of the patriarchy to dizzying heights.

#LongCovid is not a ‘subject’ to dispute. It’s a health condition that changes people’s lives. Definitions can evolve & that’s not an excuse to dismiss the illness itself. Diagnostic criteria for diabetes have repeatedly changed over time but no one takes u seriously if you say diabetes in disputed!

This is how I found out! I'm a historian, pretending people were decent just becuase they are dead is poor practice. My suggestion would be that if you are friends with gross abusive bigots you should yourself 'be kind' by being silent rather than trying to deny their harmful words and actions.
I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing
