We are grateful to @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for opposing the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Unfortunately, the vote favored the DevCo, which has now been approved, and will strip residents and councillors of their democratic rights and hand control to an unelected corporation.
History isn’t just a set of facts. It’s a story we tell about who we are. My contribution to Odyssey discourse is about how the American right wants a history where only white men feature because they want a future where only white men rule. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-vand...

As heat warnings are issued for England and Wales, please remember that there is no sound empirical basis for claiming that more people die of cold worldwide than of heat. Just because something is recited like a mantra doesn't make it true. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Climate sceptics tell us that more people die of extreme cold than extreme heat. What’s the truth? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

How much of Thermo Fisher’s antibody data has been manipulated?
We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

Reluctant to post too much about this but I did want to share my favourite finding from the dozens of manipulated or duplicated ThermoFisher verification blots. This one has a giant square. Enjoy!

Being a political satirist on digital platforms with partisan owners is as big a minefield as network tv. The guy on this platform curb stomped my engagement, now the owners of YT are playing censorship games. I will continue to speak funny truths to power however I can.
Thousands of desperate people on abysmal UK benefits died during austerity But Nigel Farage wants to cut them even more "The UK does not have a welfare problem. It's got a corrupt politician and corrupt political elite problem. It's got a billionaire problem. Tax the rich." via Frogface Farage
In the Alex Karp biography, the author relates that, when Karp interviewed Mosley for the Palantir job, he dramatically declaimed one of Oswald Mosley's fascist speeches to him before dismissing him. Mosley was surprised to learn this meant he got the job.

A masterclass from Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK: “There is no example in history where we’ve bombed people into democracy.” No shouting. Just facts doing the heavy lifting. @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚💚💚

A breakthrough in comp chem! Jiace Sun and Garnet Chan from Caltech developed stochastic tensor contraction and applied it to CCSD(T), achieving a 2.5-32x speedup relative to DLPNO, with ~4x higher accuracy (the latter does not seem to degrade with system size). arxiv.org/abs/2602.17158 ⚛️🧪
Stochastic tensor contraction for quantum chemistry
Many computational methods in ab initio quantum chemistry are formulated in terms of high-order tensor contractions, whose cost determines the size of system that can be studied. We introduce stochast...

“I’m really worried for my friends and neighbours who are immigrants, or the children of immigrants, who’ve kept our city region moving.” Our candidate for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, says the threat of adopting ICE-style tactics would put hardworking communities in the firing line.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 7mo agoImagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.
![“Through a friend, he was introduced to Palantir, and after several rounds of interviews, he flew to Palo Alto to meet with Karp. As soon as Mosley took a seat, Karp began reciting a fiery speech that Oswald Mosley gave in 1939 demanding that Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. (“Our generation shall not die like rats in Polish holes. They shall not die but shall live to see above their heads the English sky, to feel beneath their feet the English soil, and to enjoy the fair English countryside….”) Karp didn’t just repeat a few sentences; he went on for minutes, reproducing the speech from memory. Mosley sat in stunned silence. When Karp finished, he executed a few tai chi moves and walked out of the room without saying goodbye. A shaken Mosley figured that his family’s dark past had torpedoed him again. But it hadn’t: he was hired and ended up running Palantir’s UK business. (A few years after the interview, Karp was in London, where he met with Mosley and a retired British military officer who was consulting for Palantir. Karp asked this person if he was aware of Mosley’s background. He said that he was[…]”
