Social media isn’t what it used to be but isn’t this a cracking photo … so many questions to be answered ?!

FOR THE RECORD: one year on, I lay out clearly how Elon Musk FRS has breached the @royalsociety.org’s code of conduct, why the Society’s failure to defend its values has been so damaging, & what they need do to recover their standing in the scientific community. occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2026/...

Although vaguely remembering this fact from school I was not aware of the CBS connection … or the fenian ram! but it seems the Irish navy still don’t have a sub;-) … a horrible history episode is a must

Continuing the theme of venue ceilings (admittedly its had poor uptake and i think no one else has succumb to this potentially riveting trend) but as the hotel carpet at this event is not going to impress @scurry.bsky.social i submit this interesting (if i do say so myself) ceiling venue …

A tribute parade for the late Eddie Jordan will take place at Silverstone today. Many of his team's cars are here, from the first to one of the last (looking particularly odd here due to its absence of nose, Pirelli tyres and lumpy engine cover to accommodate a change of motor). #F1

Good summary of the state of play for Starmer’s underwhelming government from @iandunt.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Screenshot from article reads:

In every case, the government is typified by a lack of confidence in communication. It is unwilling to lead. It is unprepared to make the argument. It does not have the courage to state clearly what is happening, what it wants and how it will get there. Instead, it operates in the background, saying whatever it thinks necessary to secure goals which you can vaguely discern by virtue of unrelated actions.
This is why we're all so confused. Sometimes you wake up and read what they have to say about Trump, or see how they will decimate our university sector to reduce immigration numbers, and you feel the anger rise up in you. Sometimes you recognise what they're achieving, on the hush-hush, and convince yourself that they're playing some ingenious game you seem to have misunderstood. It is really very hard to be governed in this way. It is emotionally baffling.
The government does good things and bad things, but this approach to government is disastrous. It's democratically unsound for a party to persistently say one thing and do another, as if governing by subtext. It prevents voter scrutiny and is fundamentally duplicitous. It isn't even effective, because it alienates those who like what you're doing and confuses those who don't. You can see that now. Remainers distrust Starmer as much as Leavers do. No-one is happy.
