Spurious Correlations Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

Huge fan of this page.

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

All of Trump's negotiations are about enrichment, nuclear or self.

NASA women save stars. 🫶🏻💫

Donald J. Trump O @realDonaldTrump I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon - Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did! They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some "free" and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some "clicks" because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA - Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of "TRUMP, not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same - Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, "Only Rosie O'Donnell," question, or "Crazy" Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called "pundits" are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left "News" Organizations, are "hail…

Spiralling.

Yep, this is the problem ...

Earth behind the Moon

Awesome image from Artemis.
Big!

Trump ranting about the war he's waging on the people of Iran while standing next to the Easter Bunny is going to be one of those videos I think about for a long time.

This should always have been the end of it.

Us too!

View from Artemis II today. Crescent Earth. A view humans haven't captured since 1972.

From today, Labour has increased the minimum wage to £12.71 an hour, cut energy bills by £117, frozen prescription charges, expanded sick pay and brought in day one rights at work.

Not bad for a government that’s supposedly “no different”.

Given his "go and get your own oil" post to the UK, they should cancel it. Fuck him.

Worth noting that Donald Trump just announced the end of NATO and the Special Relationship in one tweet.

"So the question is what are we negotiating about right now if we already won the war?"

Fair question.

If you want a dose of Monday joy, then this is not the podcast for you.

Why things aren’t bad yet, but an assessment of how bad it is likely to get, how fast and how long it will take to recover.

Very bad, pretty fast and longer than you think.

Required listening.

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

Families to get free advice and support as 200 ‘Best Start’ hubs open across England | LBC The Government is launching more than 200 hubs offering free advice, childcare support and early help services, with plans to expand to 1,000 sites by 2028.

This week 200 Best Start Family Hubs will open in areas that the Tories left without family services.

But we’re not just plugging the gaps they left behind, Labour will open 1,000 hubs to build on the proud legacy of Sure Start and back families.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Well done. #NoKings

Stunningly horrible tweet from the Home Office.

Tars everyone from 4 countries with
the same brush.

What appears to have happened is that the United States, which fired the guided missile, did not have readily available information that the school was not part of the compound and had not been so since 2016. This fact could be shown by open-source, public-domain information. But it appears the US military did not have or use up-to-date information. It relied on out-of-date information instead, and so killed over 100 children during their day at school. Schools are specifically protected from attacks under international law, as ably set out in this important article by former UK prime minister Gordon Brown. And the US secretary of state Marco Rubio and defence secretary Pete Hegseth have both denied that the school was deliberately targeted (though little weight can perhaps be placed on official government denials of any war crime). Even if the school was not deliberately targeted as a school, there is still a requirement under international law for an attacker to do what they can to make sure they know what they are attacking. As Professor Janina Dill of the University of Oxford explains, an attacker has to do everything feasible to verify the status of a targeted object. And here it is significant that the weapon of choice was a guided missile: this was a pre-selected target. The US government and military accept there is a potential problem here, despite the immediate attempts by President Trump to falsely blame the Iranians themselves.

The US guided missile attack on a school in Minab in Iran looks like a war crime

Always good to see scientists replicating previous famous findings.

For comparison, Keir Starmer's net approval rating is around -50 and his government hasn't killed any of its own citizens on the streets or started any wars overseas, and he hasn't used his office to enrich himself to the tune of billions of dollars

There's a whole array of strategic bungles in this operation, it deserves a thread. 1/ below
