I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

Eby: "I feel sorry for Americans. If you can't be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world. And that is a very lonely place to be." #cdnpoli
Reform = Conservative Don't be fooled. The Tories knew their brand was so toxic they wouldn't be elected . So the grifters in the party just rebranded
The reason tributes keep coming in from everyone for Sam Neill is because he wasn’t just a great actor with a body of work that speaks to most of us, but also because he was such a very good, decent man. If we had more of them, the loss wouldn’t feel so great. But thank the universe we had him 💜
For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
The laser was a solution that preceded every problem it would solve. This is what foundational research looks like. Defund it today, and the breakthroughs we can’t yet imagine will never happen. ⚛️🔭🧪 #BasicResearch #FundScience #YourTaxDollarsAtWork
TK (Takashi DY) Kozai@bioniclab.bsky.social · 2mo ago🔬 Your tax dollars once paid a physicist whose own colleagues told him he was wasting the university's money. In 1951, Charles Townes sat on a D.C. park bench and worked out, on the back of an envelope, how to force molecules to release coherent radiation. 🧵 1/5
My Star Trek collection is rapidly running out of room.

AOC on the Reflecting Pool: They talked a bunch of smack. They said they had to repaint the pool, and now they’ve turned it into an actual swamp.

It's an Orangey Sky. Saturday's Chicago sunset from across Lake Michigan.
A full-on week, fighting to #SaveUKAstronomy & PPAN from 30% funding cuts. There were highs (👇hanging out with fab-folk) & lows (@ukri.org trying to erase history in old Council minutes) but the amazing support & ❤️ from the wonderful wide astro-community makes it all worth it. Onwards and upwards 💪🔭
California is taking the world's largest civilian aerial firefighting fleet to the next level. @calfire.bsky.social just added A FOURTH C-130 Hercules airtanker to our extraordinary arsenal, retrofitted for peak wildfire suppression operations across the state.
Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

Centenary of Miles Davis, born on 26 May 1926. I'll listen to "Kind of Blue," after it gets dark. I can't listen to jazz in daylight.

Why the fuck is the UK falling for Nigel Farage all over again? He’s a cancer to society.
Just heard Farage saying he's been physically attacked more than any other politician, which will come as a surprise to the two who have been killed in the last decade
Republicans, find a way to release the Epstein files & destroy him. Or be destroyed by him.
I can‘t figure out why, but I have never seen news stories about how oil rigs hurt whales. Only wind farms do that. And only solar panels have a recycling problem. Gas stations are fine.
