This gives me zero sympathy for reionization relics. Like those guys did it to themselves.

To the question of what reionized the Universe, we have an answer that has just been published in Nature: nature.com/articles/d4158…



"I'll do anything to be president. Anything. Except see a shrink"

Actually so sad to imagine how much self-doubt Nixon struggled with to feel like he had to do Watergate when he was putting up numbers like these 🫤

One of the more annoying trends on the left is people making unnecessary complaints about people’s wording. “Oh thanks for the correction, I thought the native americans just forgot where the land was”

Native Americans didn’t simply “lose” land, it was stolen from. Important distinction.

A vaccine has essentially eliminated a dreadful form of cancer. Extraordinary.

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13. statnews.com/2024/01/25/hpv…

"If you are on campus today and are able to travel home early, you may wish to consider doing so" Part of the official statement from Durham Uni, bc of the reports for the chance of rioting. A university having to almost close bc of far right and fascist groups means a lot! 🤐


Rowan's treatment at Aberdeen has assured me I should never work there. We don't work in the same fields, but this level of bullying and hatred permeates between departments. Sort it out Aberdeen.

Blaming the floating point arithmetic implementation for an obviously wrong result, ChatGPT has officially achieved the level of sentience of the average interpreted language programmer

I’ve met young people who’ve been prescribed puberty blockers. Some told me they’d helped lift them from depression & probably saved their life. A blanket ban is wrong & not what Cass recommended. Careful, clinical provision is the way forward, not this politicisation.
