Its very odd that the only thing Trump has done to lower the cost of living in the US is to make it cheaper to be become unamerican. #Trump www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I used to bake every day when my autistic son was into it but that was >10 years ago. So first one in a very long while. Turned out good!

Blimey. You know that the ICE backlash has become huge when Trump releases (some) Epstein files to divert attention from it!

So the US threatens action if the Iran regime suppresses protests but when the US regime kills protesters then that seems to be OK?

I met Watson and he'd said in his speech that he went to Cambridge to meet girls. I asked him if discovering DNA structure made it easier to meet girls. He paused for a long time and said 'Yes but it didn't seem so important by then'. #JamesWatson

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump’s vicious nonsense.

Every week when my copy of Nature drops through the post I look for the most esoteric article titles or opening lines I can find. This weeks is 'Aculiferans typically possess a scleritome of cuticular aragonitic spicules'. #Science I think I have to credit the article too.

Oddly my most vivid memory of David Lymch is his performance in Lucky with Harry Dean Staunton as a man who'd lost his tortoise. Worth a watch now we've lost both of them. # Lynch #DavidLynch.
