Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Wonderful 1950 letter in which J. Robert Oppenheimer very patiently explains to Eleanor Roosevelt that flying saucers do not exist--and tells a funny story about human fallibility, and how all the Los Alamos scientists tried to get the local Air Force base to shoot down a UFO.
Letter from May 19, 1950. I'm just going to quote the relevant bits. "The papers [about UFOs sent by Roosevelt to Oppenheimer] all start with the assurance that there are such things. This, of course, I do not believe. ... There is not any credible evidence; and certainly the kind of explanation proposed [in the papers] does not lead one to believe in the phenomenon they are trying to explain. There is perhaps one thing one can learn. It is not just that men, and even their accounts of what they see and experience, are fallible and subject to error; it is that arriving at the truth can often be a more difficult and troublesome thing than we like to think. During the war, very shortly before the test of the first atomic bomb, people at Los Alamos were naturally in a state of some tension. I remember one morning when almost the whole project was out of doors staring at a bright object in the sky, through glasses, binoculars, and whatever else they could find; and nearby Kirtland Firled reported to us that they had no interceptors which had enabled them to come within range of the object. Our director of personnel was an astronomer and a man of some human wisdom; and he finally came to my office and asked whether we would stop trying to shoot down Venus..."

If Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.

The Venn diagram of people who voted Brexit because ‘sovereignty’ and people who are now cheering on unelected billionaire Elon Musk’s interference in our politics is, I suspect, almost a perfect circle. Had a bit of an exasperated rant about this last night on @lbc.co.uk ….

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US. “We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?” Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣

NEW: I've just been passed this excellent article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's London correspondent.
To England, where five months after the last general election two and a half million adults
(sic) have signed a petition calling for another one. Succesfully. It will be held in four years
and seven months’ time.
The campaign began because Labour didn’t restore prosperity in their first twenty weeks.
Rumours that the petition was a ruse by an autograph hunter who specialises in simpleton
signatures were not laid to rest when Reform UK threw its collective intellectual weight
behind it.
Labour only have themselves to blame. By annihilating the Tories at the ballot box, they
killed the goose that laid the golden tractor porn eggs. Without Randox, or Chris Pincher, or
shell PPE companies, or Partygate, or a vision, all they seem to offer are tax rises and warm
words about Blackrock. Ideologically, this leaves them more exposed than Peter Bone
talking to a junior staffer.
Enter stage far-right, goosestepping, Reform UK and their cartoon Tory clones who hawk
uncontested narratives about imaginary threats posed by refugees, experts and – er – trans
people. The near and present dangers of climate catastrophe are meanwhile rejected.
Never, they say, let the truth get in the way of a good story. In a world where mothballed
Thunderbirds extra Richard Tice can become a political figure, it seems that voters are
unwilling to let it get in the way of a crap one too.
Insurance giant AXA has just published data which say that Tice’s constituency is the
second most exposed to global warming in the UK. It’s a catchy stat, but not so catchy as
Tice’s mantra that ‘Net Zero equals Net Stupid’. Perhaps the 4000 householders in Boston
and Skegness who are at risk of submersion will chant this next time they’re baling turd-filled
floodwater from their living rooms.

Apologies, the alt text box has run out of space. Pls DM me if you were reading this way and I'll forward the rest!

🚜🙄 Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer #farmers
