DOGE was a catastrophe. It left America's government digital presence in *far* worse shape than it found it, and even the modest savings it claimed to have made from all this destruction turn out to be lies: www.yahoo.com/news/politic... 31/

Not saying British politics has destroyed my mind but briefly thought France and Spain were holding a moment's silence for Ann Widdecombe.

My first art credit! 💅 Art director Samuel Velasco and I wanted a new visual metaphor for the genome — not a code or a sequence, but its tangled, twisted physical form. More cool yarn sculptures inside! Also it's a great piece by @philipcball.bsky.social that will change the way you think about DNA

One of the hardest questions in the world today is this one: “Which aspect of the Trump adminstration is the biggest; stupidity or malice?”

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job

For me, this is Brown’s chance to redeem himself. He was surrounded by such malevolence and he should drag it all into the light. He tried with Leveson. Time for another go.

other highilghts for non-subscribers from the world's worst timed comeback interview (done before recent events). Why was Mandelson still talking to Epstein? he 'provided guidance to help me navigate out of the world of politics & into the world of commerce.' Poor Peter was just 'too trusting'

So that's #365Minerals over and done with. It's been eight(!) years since I did the first #365Minerals over on Twitter - it was inspired by #365Papers. I'm glad that this time around I could use my own photos of specimens on display in the NHM! Thanks for following! 🧪⚒️💎
