"The idea that technology can provide a silver bullet to solve complex societal issues does not stand up to examination"

The Online Safety Bill will make a bad situation worse. Having context-blind algorithms scan our chats and images for whatever any government says is harmful will put all our privacy at risk of overreach.

Imagine telling your spouse they had the chance to divorce you eight years ago and they backed down. So now you won't *let* them try again.

By declining Scots the chance at #indyref2, the Supreme Court has just made Scotland's independence more likely. Unions work when all parties are free, valued, and engaged.

It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.

🚨 BIG EXOPLANET NEWS! 🚨

Our team has released FIVE papers today on the most COMPREHENSIVE study of an #exoplanet atmosphere to date!

Using #JWST we obtained four transit observations of #WASP-39b early in the telescope's operations to study both the planet itself, and the telescope's capabilities to observe exoplanet atmospheres.

We detected numerous molecules in the planet's atmosphere, including CO2, CO, H2O, and SO2 🧵

The future is here! ⭐ 🪐 🔭 #Astrodon #Science

@barefootstache retooted one of my terrible jokes, so gets a :blobfoxsignyip: from me, FWTW. Alternatively, it may show questionable taste… 🙃

I thought I'd bookmarked a massive list of sportsball-related hashtags to ignore. Turns out I didn't and now I have to trawl around to find them in order to ignore them. Balls.
