It shouldn't really come as a surprise that a country founded by religous extremists is trying to return to that sick ideology... only this time that country has nukes, and will try and spread this sickness worldwide if Trump wins in November. Please don't fuck this up America.

Sitting at my desk working and hear a big splash in the pool and I know who it is! I hope he wasn't too freaked out by all of the fireworks last night, poor big buddy.

It's really sad that there are so many people who can look at this vile fascist grifter and his fascist mates, and think "yep, they represent me", or are the just to thick to realise what Farage is?

"Well, if you’re just joining us, the nation has delivered an all-night victim impact statement." "Meanwhile, it’s incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people."

Sunak’s No10 resignation speech - what a hypocrite. He praised his immigrant parents for giving him safety and opportunities while denying it to others and threatening deportation to Rwanda while also denying our children and grandchildren easy access to Europe. You own it Sunak for ever.

How cool is this plot from Hugo Vivien's new paper on the K2-138 system (one of my personal faves!), showing transits of four different planets within ~24 hours with CHEOPS.

Four Reform seats is four too many. But to be second in so many is particularly worrying. No one should be complacent. #UKGE2024 3/3

This is great from the Guardian: Analysis by the Sutton Trust suggests that Keir Starmer’s cabinet will have the highest number of ministers educated at comprehensive schools, and the lowest proportion in modern history who went to private schools.

Tory hack Laura Kuenssberg, looking like a close family member has died, doing her best on BBC News to imply that Starmer is not up to the job ahead. Thoughts and prayers, Laura.

6 seats left to call, but this is the new political reality in the UK today. The Tories have been crushed. I would have liked to have seen them reduced to double digits but i'll take this. Labour need to use the political capital they've been given and make swift changes now. Fuck the Tories.
