10 Terrifying Bible Monsters That Sound Completely Made Up

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Jordanian warplanes have carried out a massacre against Syrian children and innocent civilians in southern Syria under the pretext of fighting terrorism. This is absolutely unacceptable. Those responsible must be held accountable. Syrian lives are not expendable. 💔

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

BBC TV news has degenerated beyond recognition

Aiming to hole Trump under the waterline

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

A distinctly British approach to A.I. NB - still my favourite panel I’ve ever written.
