NEW: US at fault for school strike in Iran. It was outdated maps. This undercuts Trump’s claims that Iran bombed its own school. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Friedrich Loeffler Institute, 66 hamsters and 48 mice.

A single cycle nasal COVID vaccine matched to XBB.1.5 blocked infection and stopped transmission in animals, outperforming a bivalent mRNA comparator in hamsters.

Overwhelmingly popular opinion in the US 😩

And dismissing it all as NIMBYism is just loaded with disdain for poor people, non-white people, anyone not in your reading club.

I sincerely don’t get how this is the emerging line of thought. Not, oh look, a nascent political rage that might be…wait…class consciousness! Oh wow look at that political activism!

Just, what are we doing here exactly?

$64 billion of data center projects have been blocked or delayed amid local opposition — Data Center Watch

A study of the landscape of data center organizing covering a one year period. This is fast. Data center organizing is local because politics is local. But local doesn’t mean small.

We’re deeply concerned that private equity is moving in - attracted to the idea of making money from the NHS waiting lists 🚨. This is deeply alarming, so EveryDoctor wants to investigate what’s happening💙

We’re raising funds - I’m posting this to 37,000 brilliant people!…

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

All these countries or people say they have access to the files pictures and videos, any day would be a good for its release.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

James Hutton, Geologist: Hybrid Event Ray Perman will give a talk about James Hutton, who in 1785 presented his "Theory of the Earth" and laid the foundation of modern geology.

I know, I'm married to the author so not totally impartial. But Ray Perman's a very good storyteller with a journalistic eye for human detail. His talk @oldedinburghclub.bsky.social 18 March 7-8.30pm
Hutton, by the way, was quite a human. #JamesHutton #geology

We must stop pretending that Brexit was just a domestic choice.

It was a successful Russian hybrid operation designed to shatter Western cooperation.

This betrayal has left both the UK and the EU more vulnerable to aggression.

Those who still defend it are idiots or traitors

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

New Origin Story, on an absolute unqualified piece of Nazi shit, who is as close to the brains of the Trump operation as it gets.

The BBC will regret jettisoning the Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race

The Conservative press are all up in arms over the BBC "losing the rights to the boat race" like it's some great national betrayal.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

● LBC had the radio rights from 2005 to 2010

● ITV had tv rights from 2005 to 2009

● Nobody else cares

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Good! Let’s hope that continues.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Adult social care privatised since the 1980s. Local councils spend 70% of budget on it.

83% of social care controlled by private equity, 20%-40% profit margin.

Will Govt end profiteering, ensure only not-for-profit entities, including local councils, provide care.

Watch the Minister's reply.

I'm STILL livid about this.
Anyone with a heart should be.

That's a fucking war crime.

Stanford University researchers report Epstein Barr virus protein EBNA1 closely resembles several human brain proteins.

Immune defenses attacking the virus can mistakenly target myelin related proteins too raising risk of multiple sclerosis.

Ok I have girl cats, but this is is so hilarious and perfect. Please watch the whole thing. Especially when it gets to the “Is this your boyfriend?” part.

Why the Trump-Backed SAVE America Act Threatens Election Security Nationwide - Bucks County Beacon Buried in the legislation is a mandate requiring every state to funnel voter data into a centralized voter-purge system plagued by security and accuracy concerns and controlled by the Trump administra...

“A foundational rule of computer security is to never create a ‘single point of failure,’ meaning a centralized system or node whose compromise wld cause widespread damage.” The Trump administration’s “SAVE” voter purge system—an underreported key part of the “Save America Act”—violates this rule.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

This is clearly fine with the GOP.
