Retired clinical research scientist, but have never been busier. I just don't get paid! Debunker of quackery, classic car owner, RC model flyer, choral singer. Trustee of HealthSense and of Salisbury Musical Society. How did I ever have time to go to work?

No outrage over white rapists, just far fewer black/brown ones No protests against migrant crossings rising under Tories, anger as crossings fall under Labour Support Brexit 'take back control', no problem foreign billionaires owning most UK public utilities Ever wonder why? meme via Angel Stroyan

Just got a reply, after chasing: "Totally agree— titles and abstracts are untrustworthy, so we only trust analyzed artifacts of full papers (including paywalled). Our evidence layer is BGPT, which you can actually plug into your AI to see the exact artifact we use."

The problem is, that it's not just US citizens who will pay.

Our 🌎,our home, is being destroyed to extract every drop of oil, which will soon be completely depleted. The US is so far behind the rest of the world utilizing and researching renewable energy sources. We will pay dearly for our greed and ignorance in the near future.

The Government has until the end of the year to scrap the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. Lets get them out.

20,000 drones lit up the sky over Hefei, China, flying in sync with centimeter-level GPS precision to form 3D shapes and animations. No smoke, no noise, no waste.

The threats to Europe from outside are less serious than those from inside. The politicians who want to divide us - almost always aided by Russian bots and money - are the real danger We all know who they are Young, old, men, women, black, white, religious, non-religious... Please stand together

Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our schools & NHS. @TheGreenParty's already backing it - sign the petition and tell John Healey to #TaxtheBanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Do you want Israel to be sanctioned? Not their settlements, some meaningless sanction that can be avoided by changing a sticker. But Israel itself, for Crimes against Humanity. Spread the word if you do.

Goodness, might there really be a god?

Republicans’ midterm convention last night featured Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for creating a digital drug market. He’s one of the many white collar criminals pardoned by Trump, oftentimes in exchange for hefty donations. Here’s what you need to know.

For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

Nigel Farage says he “frankly wasn’t even listening” while foreign donations were discussed in front of him. Another thing he won’t want to hear: IT’S PRIVATE EYE WEEK! New edition in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

How is it possible that c.15m people think he is? But on reflection, the people of Clacton elected an MP who does nothing for them, and is hardly ever in Clacton or in parliament. I despair.
