Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike.
Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

When the Nazi party rose to power, they used traditional gothic fonts because they represented the true spirit of Germany or some such nonsense.
Later the Nazis switched to modern fonts, especially Futura which was designed by an anti-nazi, because of readability issues with gothic fonts.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that sans serif fonts aren’t suited for world-class diplomacy and ordered the department to drop Calibri in favor of Times New Roman, reversing a Biden-era policy intended to help employees who are visually impaired.

This is a vital step in stopping Trump, but will inevitably lead to a showdown between local police and ice. Given the tactics of US law enforcement, it will almost certainly result in someone being shot.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

I criticised the government’s latest immigration policies and stressed that more than ever, the trade union movement must stand firmly united in the face of rising hate towards migrants.
