@dandkuniverse.bsky.social Hey hey! Loving the podcast. Quick question from the “did we just discover dark matter” episode. Why wouldn’t gamma rays hit the xenon nucleus, like WIMPs- they aren’t charged either?

This story is a perfect example of how broken reporting of the mobs roaming Britain's streets now is - and the political response. What would have been the appropriate response if this hadn't been a sports team? Trash the hotel? Force them out into the street? What about other people staying there?

James Orr, most recently known for being featured in a Channel 4 exposé into Reform’s foreign funding, is also a Cambridge assistant professor. I look forward to the flood of articles about him from the Times, Telegraph etc.

There are just sooo many quotable lines from this Channel 4 Reform exposé. Hard to chose a favourite.

Another train derailment, this time in Wickford in Essex. Early indications show that it is 2K71 towards Liv st.,formed of sets 720508 & 720131. 1K50 Lon to Southend formed of 720556 has also stopped in the vicinity, unclear as to why. Could just be that the power lines are off/damaged.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

600 job centres in the UK according to Gov.uk . Call it 3 civil servant FTEs per centre. So that’s 600*3*5*50=450,000 new PIP claimants a year, accounting for bank holidays. In other words, Martin’s numbers are utter nonsense.
