I'm leaving these here as #ref for every time someone tells me "I can't believe you ain't gonna come/go back for your senior year"

"We're going to do big things, but we're going to sit on our huge majority for 3 years, then you'll have to vote for us again before we do it. Assuming we win. Though we're guaranteed to lose our majority so won't be able to." Vote Labour!

Contrary to what Stephen Hawking argued, black holes are not inescapable prisons. We have holography to thank for that conclusion. quantamagazine.org/gravity-s…

Netanyahu accuses Britain and France of inventing colonialism. Which is a lie. Colonialism is thousands of years older than either modern Britain or France. Ancient examples include Greek colonies around the Mediterranean, Phoenician settlements such as Carthage, and Roman colonial expansion. And if Israel is presented as the successor to ancient Judea, the argument is more absurd, ancient Judea practiced territorial conquest and expansion long before Britain or France existed. The Hasmonean kingdom conquered Idumea, Samaria and Galilee, incorporating them into an expanding Judean state.

As I’ve said before, I’m not English. I’m proud to be British. My family and ancestors have a link to Britain which spans centuries. But in no way are we English. Yes, I was born in England, speak English and support the England football team. And indeed, I love England and the English people. But to say I’m English is to take a ‘laissez-faire, anything-goes’ attitude to ethnicity, citizenship and identity. It also denies me my Asian heritage. The liberals (many of them in today’s Conservative Party) take this cosmopolitan approach to Englishness. They’re terrified of being called racist so they say that anyone, as long as they’re born here, can be English. I take the conservative approach. Englishness is an ethnicity. There have been English people for centuries and we need to recognise this more if we are to start taking a more muscular approach to citizenship and nationality. And no, it’s not racist to say this. Other countries have no qualms in limiting who can be part of their citizenry and use ethnicity and culture as criteria. Here, the dogma of multiculturalism has been so corrosive that some people don’t actually know who we are anymore.

I'm English AND British. Born in London. Raised in England. British citizen. Being English and being British are not mutually exclusive. One refers to England; the other to the United Kingdom. And neither automatically determines your ethnicity. It really isn't that complicated.

Every day another news story says Britain is under pressure from global instability. Why can’t we just build homes, and clean energy, with secure jobs? Turns out the answer is even better than I thought. See what you think. HostageNation.com

This flyby will deflect the trajectory of the @ESA_Juice spacecraft by about 20 degrees and increase its velocity by about 3.5 km/s. This interaction will set Juice up for a final Earth flyby in January 2029, putting it onto the optimum path to intercept Jupiter in July 2031. 3/5

Est-ce que les choix de l’UE, de l’OTAN ont permis une désescalade ? Non. Il faudrait encore s'enfoncer davantage dans le conflit ? Je ne le pense pas. Face aux conséquences de la guerre nous ne pouvons pas continuer à subir pendant que les États-Unis profitent de la crise.

De fait, Trump annexe le Groenland. Le gouvernement du Danemark a signé sans la moindre trace de résistance. Comme d'autres diplomaties, les élites danoises ont été dévorées par l'atlantisme. L'Europe va encore bavarder. Quitter l'OTAN et construire un bloc du non alignement est une urgence. Ni le RN pro Trump, ni la vieille gauche atlantiste, ni les chapelles des girouettes macronistes ne le veulent ni le peuvent. Seule depuis des années, la France insoumise appellera à la résistance et à l'indépendance non alignée. En 2027, la question se réglera aussi par le vote.
