So @O2 has got to be the absolute worst I’ve dealt with bar none. Seemingly no training or people skills needed to be on the other side of the 202 number…

A Lulu update and a desperate plea below. @BaliAid are a tiny charity, funded entirely by your donations and continually struggling to be seen. I try but I need your help. Please give whatever you can, there is no amount too small, and repost as widely as possible. Thank you ❤️
A little update on Lulu She is doing good so far. Unable to move on her own, but maybe in a couple of weeks we will try to get her on her feet 🤞🏻 For now she has to be laid on her side, healing. We have to keep turning her so she doesn't get sore. It's pretty sad to see her this way, because we're used to seeing her running around and lively. We know it's for her own good and the results will be worth it in the end 🙏🏻🐾🐶❤ We are desperately low on funds. Many 'likes' and views, but we're really struggling with donations coming in 😞 All we ask is if you can spare anything to help us keep going, it would be so much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 To help us, you can donate any amount here: paypal.me/lovinaAW Bank details for transfer are here: lovinaanimalwelfare.com Thank you so much for your help! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐶❤❤❤

I hope this Farage supporting idiot who harassed our fantastic Chancellor loses business over this. Thick, rude, misogynistic, and gullible. I wouldn't trust him to water my plants.

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.

Replying to @MAHA_Action
Homeopathy postulates that a remedy becomes more effective when the active ingredient has been diluted out of existence. It’s a $1.2 billion industry in the US alone. It is expensive nothing. All fraud.

Trump's second term really is the American Brexit. A catastrophic failure to understand the world fuelled by vanity, lies and nationalist delusion

Jacob Rees-Mogg went to Eton and then Oxford. More than £500,000 was spent on his education and all he got was a 2:1 in History. All that money to be mediocre, dim is what he is.

Louis Theroux IS a national institution. He understands the power of words, that silence is golden, the beauty in awkward pauses, the art of deadpan, & the value of simply letting people talk themselves into a hole. His composure is a superpower. Nobody exposes nonsense like him.

Excited to share our study in Neuron led by @TravisDGoode , a K99 PDF and other members of Sahay lab with collaborators at BROAD, Hopkins, and UW Seattle, defining a neural circuit that links prior experience with feeding behavior. Open Access: sahaylab.com/publications

A new study in @NeuroCellPress from @AmarSahay_ lab identifies a hippocampal-to-hypothalamic circuit that gates feeding behavior based on context (i.e., past experience). It helps explain how environment shapes eating—key insights for understanding disordered feeding behavior.

Well, it looks like the original video has been removed from X. Good job I had a backup of classic Farage.
