As Pete Hegseth answers questions from the armed services committee, we thought we’d share this op ed from combat veterans Senator Duckworth and Senator Kelly outlining why he is not qualified to be Defense Secretary. bit.ly/3PzFky5

Hegseth’s track record falls short of military standards: Dem senators
Opinion: In this op-ed, Sens. Kelly and Duckworth argue Pete Hegseth falls short of the standards expected of those he would oversee as defense secretary.

The radicalisation of much of the right in Britain far exceeds that of the left under Corbyn. (I say that as a staunch critic of Corbyn). It's essential that decent Conservatives speak out, if they don't want the likes of Cummings, Oakeshott and Jenrick to prostitute their tradition to an arsonist.

I am searching for right wing voices who are standing up to Musk and speaking clearly against what is happening. It's very hard. Some are silent, which is better than active participation but not exactly brave.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

Ever wonder what the secret ingredient is in your favorite dessert? We can’t answer that, but we can share this planet formation recipe! It takes a high degree of precision and a lot of patience, but the result is pretty spectacular: bit.ly/3Cv3k2e 🔭 🧪
A horizontal infographic illustrates a loose recipe for planet formation. Title text at top left reads “Recipe for Planet Formation, with star and nebula.” Below the headline are two lists: Ingredients, which lists four ingredients, and Methods, which is threaded throughout the infographic in numerical order. In the Methods section, gas, dust, and ice in a nebula contracts under gravity to form a star, surrounded by a flattened disk. Inside the disk, dust and ice stick together to form planetesimals and then planets, leading to a planetary system.

On average only 3 out of 10 autistic individuals are employed, compared to 5 in 10 for all disabled people and 8 in 10 for non-disabled. We also have the highest pay gap of any disability group. It would be kind of nice if people could start recognising we can do our jobs. www.ft.com/content/e692...

A new government white paper has promised a “fundamentally different” approach to employment support, including “tackling ill health as the biggest driver of inactivity”, but it has left critical questions unanswered about Labour’s plans for disability benefits.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

“It is beyond surreal that someone writes in a national newspaper that Liz Truss was a genius and Keir Starmer should walk the plank.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social believes that Brexiteers are ‘still not ready to admit their mistake’ and so their response is to ‘overthrow the Government'.
