Move-on orders 'not welcome here', Wellington leaders say An open letter decrying the introduction of powers to enable police to relocate people from certain areas has been sent to the Prime Minister.

Genuine kudos for this from my region's civic leaders.

Speaking with one voice against this immoral law change.

I just remember when the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire and how every Western leader became a cultural expert and lamented the damage and how everyone donated money to rebuild it.

I am having a hard time finding a single article in any European or American publication about this.

90s Captain Ahab: Thar she blows. Thar she blows again.

I must admit I'm surprised at how little the Royal Commission gave to vaccine opponents, some of whom saw this process as the thing that would vindicate them. Can't get much clearer than this.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really appreciate this reporting. I do wish people didn’t feel the need to acknowledge how much they learned or say they don’t regret it, because it’s really not relevant.

Borrowed and Blue Reviews, old and new. Mostly books. Mostly SFF. Quite likely gay.

After a month of buildup, may I present...

The Queersar not an award 2020!

10 (+1) great queer SFF novels.

V good year for queer SFF; I found it *really* hard to narrow down to 10. But happy with what's on here & more convinced there *is* a gap in the award landscape for books like these.

Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.

Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.

The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations.

Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

Great picture full stop and also ilu and your face and also that is a bombshell dress 🔥🔥🔥

British chemist Dorothy Hodgkin in her laboratory in 1964. She is sitting at a wooden desk, wearing a blue cardigan and green skirt, resting her chin on her hand as she looks thoughtfully toward the camera. On the desk beside her sits a black and gold microscope and a glass display case containing a large, complex crystal structure model. To her left, bookshelves are packed with scientific texts, including a prominent red spine titled "Penicillin Crystal Structures." This image captures the Nobel Prize winner in the environment where she produced the world’s first 3D atomic maps of essential medicines like penicillin and insulin. The scene highlights her intense intellectual focus and the physical tools of her pioneering work in X-ray crystallography. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.

Remembering Dorothy Hodgkin on International Women's Day!

While Fleming found the mold, Hodgkin solved the 3D atomic puzzle of Penicillin.

Using X-ray crystallography, she mapped the molecule's structure, allowing it to be mass-produced and saving millions of lives! 🔬🗺️

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
