@suw.bsky.social and I explored Vanne in Brittany. It has a stunning medieval quarter with colourful timber-framed buildings. We have thoroughly enjoyed Brittany. So many interesting sites and beautiful countryside.

Even with the air conditioning, we have a puddle of cats in this heat. Grabbity and Copurrnicus don’t always share space well.
Our cats - Copurrnicus and Grabbity - escape the heat and are splayed out on our bed chilling in the AC.

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...
Until now. For instance, the cancer scientist Kseniia Petrova, a Russian immigrant who worked at Harvard’s renowned Kirschner Lab, has been in a Louisiana ICE prison for two months now, and is facing deportation to Russia because she allegedly lied to a border control officer about carrying frog embryos for research purposes. Not only is this likely false—she told NBC News that she did tell the officers the truth—but the usual penalty for such a piddling violation is a $500 fine, knocked down to $50 for a first offense. Instead, ICE revoked her J-1 visa and threw her in prison pending a hearing to deport her back to Russia, where she might easily end up in prison or dead for criticizing the Putin regime.

Petrova is not just any cancer scientist—she is perhaps the world’s top expert on analyzing the images produced by a new cutting-edge, ultra-specialized microscope that is being developed to diagnose cancer cases. Leon Peshkin, Petrova’s manager, told NBC that the task “requires a unique set of skills because you have to both be able to work as an embryologist and do applied math, modeling, data analysis and bioinformatics—all in one package.” Nobody else in the lab could do what she does, he added.

Well worth reading. The obvious point here is that some presented "woke" as an existential risk to speech and academic freedom, and some people warned about govt censorship as a bigger threat. The former were not just wrong but paved the way for govt censorship. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

Rand Paul warns tariffs could cause GOP ‘decimation.’ He has a point. From the Washington Post. After Trump’s hero McKinley rolled out tariffs, Republicans lost 50% of their seats in the next election. After the 1930s tariffs, the GOP lost Congress for 60 years, Paul said.

Republicans in the US have settled on the sound bite that President Trump's tariff strategy is akin to having your kitchen remodelled. It will be a bit messy and disruptive, but it will be better in the end. My fellow Americans, here is your remodelled kitchen.
