Watching the lesbian bar mask drama unfold has been fascinating. It’s been 6 years why are they doing a mask mandate? It’s just a different world out there.
Radio signals here do not refer to communication, rather the wavelength of light.

Wow, this is so cool to see! I was always so jealous of my friends down the road at ADT (now Ashcroft Academy) when I was at Elliott School, because of their science facilities. I hope some of this success can rub off on Ark Putney Academy (formerly Elliott School).
I am incredibly proud of the students' achievements at @AshcroftAcademy. At each key stage, results are exceptional and highlight the commitment of staff and the students' hard work. As IB State School of the Year for Academic Excellence in 2025, with an incredible average point score of 40 this year, with an average grade set of A, A, A and a modal grade set of A*, A, A, and with over 50% of all GCSE grades awarded at 7, 8 or 9, the Academy is one of the leading academies in England. Our 6th Form is over-subscribed and over 70% of our Year 13 students progressed to Russell Group universities, which include medical school and courses at Oxford and Cambridge universities. @LucyMPowell @LauraTrottMP
Literally one of my fave movies, it never fails to put me in a good mood.
Melissa McCarthy says “we should be on the ninth ‘Spy’ movie by now”:
"It did so well. People can say that doesn’t matter. I think it does. For 'Thunder Force,' we were going to roll right into another one. We were like, 'It’s so fun. It did incredibly well for Netflix. We already have the idea for it.'"
"If I write something — or Ben and I write something — and it tanks, I’ll take the fall. Which we have not had to take. We don’t make $8 billion. We don’t make those kind of movies, but, I mean, $120 million, I’m not mad at that. The studio’s not mad at that. We want to make a reasonably priced thing that makes you a good profit. For some reason, that model is no longer desirable. I can’t figure out the math of it."

Isn’t this classed as state censorship?

Back in London for a few days, it’s so weird seeing people wear suits to work… that’s an outfit you wear to dinner, not to work!
As a Pokemon fan and an astrophysicist it’s very important that I get my hands on the Pokemon space stash before scalpers find out about it @esa @ESADiversity
View from near the footbridge of Botley Road Bridge, it’s actually embarrassing! It’s not finished, and the sides are uneven heights. They still have wooden barriers.
Everyone involved in the Botley Road Bridge construction needs to be fired and investigated for fraud.
I can barely get signal and make phone calls in Oxford but somehow the scam calls keep coming through, sort it out @EE, I pay too much money for a device that can barely be used unless someone is trying to scam me
