Wrote this for @thelancetoncol.bsky.social, about what surveys show about trust in cancer research over the years. Tl;dr - thanks to research, we're less worried that cancer's biology is insurmountable, and more worried that the healthcare system won't surmount it. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Cancer's new anxiety: not a death sentence, but delay

Throughout the history of cancer research, hyperbole has never been in short supply—whether it be Richard Nixon's war, Joe Biden's moonshot, or Cancer Research UK's 2023 declaration of a golden era. D...

Right fuck this. I have reported Danny Tommo’s YouTube video and I implore others to do the same. They are platforming a man who live streamed himself essentially committing a crime and he will be making money off of it as well. Please please report the video www.youtube.com/live/lkeZbk8...

I learned via @sliderulesyou.bsky.social that the drought means spiders are dying off (and regardless of my personal feelings about them, I know they matter) so just spent a rewarding hour misting as many webs as I could find. Each time the occupant ran out for a drink. Moisten a spider today!

If you're feeling angry about the way the media hounded Jason Arday, or just want to understand exactly what happened, then here's something excellent you can read, and do, about it. Please reshare. newscord.org/editorials/j...

newscord.org

Jason Arday told the press he was at his limit. It answered with 188 more articles. He is dead at 41.

A full census of the 249 articles fifteen national outlets published about Jason Arday in 22 days, with the last day reconstructed hour by hour. Every article listed and linked.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

I think for some people it is more comforting to believe that there is a vast conspiracy to hide the truth than that sometimes the best scientists in the world sometimes don’t know what’s happening

Sun comic from a couple of years back. We do not get on.

six panel diary comic drawn in felt tips.

Panel one: small pink naked person wakes up and it's already too hot.

Panel 2: ANGRY STARING SUN

Panel 3: Small pink person is less naked now and goes out to tell the sun they hate it. The sun says it hates them more.

Panel 4: SCREAMING SUN

Panel 5: The sun says fuck you

Panel 6 The sun says FUCK YOU ALL.

Side panel running the full length of the page: Angry sun face and flames radiating down the page.

Dear reader, I know the sun can't hate me and that climate change is a human problem. But when it's 35+ out there and you haven't got air conditioning it sure feels like the sun hates you.

Starmer - a cricket analogy: He was the stodgy opening batter in a one-day match, who's grafted hard to blunt the new ball bowling on a tricky wicket, but whose team now needs a big score to avoid defeat - and he just doesn't have the shots.

So, I wrote a big feature for The Crick Magazine, about @nmoris.bsky.social's super-cool work on embryo models, and the ethical questions they raise. Read it here: www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-03... @crick.ac.uk

The missing four weeks

The events within a crucial four week period of human development have long eluded scientists. Stem cell models are finally revealing them – and raising new ethical questions.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results.
This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.
The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
We need people to:
1. "buy" the book (it's free)
2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book.
That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.
