And he used Newton’s law of universal gravitation to do it. So, in a very real sense, eclipse prediction only really became possible after heliocentrism was accepted.

@SAshworthHayes @charleshymas can I get a comment on your Telegraph piece "One in 12 in London is an illegal migrant" published yesterday. I have a response from Edge Analytics, who you cited as providing Thames Water with a demographic report, saying that their report...

Incorrect on multiple fronts. a) it was hilarious b) it was free speech c) you chose to stop the event by storming off in a huff you humourless self-important moron

What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons. This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it. Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?

Please can everyone shut up about their iPhone batteries. You’ve been using it for a year, congrats, the battery is ageing. It’s what happens.

This is unhinged colonialist fart sniffing.
I find the notion of “uncontacted tribes” a bit troubling. We have chosen to intentionally shield certain people from the realities - and benefits - of technological civilisation because we think it’s best for them. What Hunter gatherer society have, given a free choice, adopted modern technology? And who are we to deny them that choice? How would, say, a sentinelese woman feel after losing several of her children to easily preventable diseases, if she discovered we have these things called “antibiotics” that would’ve saved them, but we chose to hide this from her? We keep uncontacted tribes as they are purely because we ignorantly have romanticised their way of life and essentially decided to maintain them as human zoo exhibits.

NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region. People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too. London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741a7-befa…

There’s nothing left for schools to cut. Fun fact, the UK government now spends almost as much per year on debt interest as it does on education. £116bn this year we’re just pissing up the wall because of tory mismanagement.

(🧵) This is the story of how far-right snowflakes afraid of free speech and facts—obsessed, instead, with their Big Important Feelings and using speech to brutalize others—destroyed Twitter. I hope you’ll follow along and share this to the extent the Musk Algorithm allows it.

Everyone wondering why scientists ignore these “debate me bros.” Here’s what happened when I, and a few colleagues, made arrangements to debate Steve Kirsch and his claims on vaccine myocarditis. I was to talk about the GMP regulatory problems of his claim respectfulinsolence.com/2023…
