Do you want to see me perform in an Improv show?
You can you know. You can do it in Shoreditch in London in the UK on Sunday.
Dunno what the show will be about, obviously. Some short games, couple of longer stories. But we need YOU there to tell us what it's about.
What else in London is free? Nothing, that's what.

Sad 'first' for #climateadaptation #globalheating, cancelling a conference talk I was looking forward to due to a heatwave. #Metascience2025 in London is forecast 35C on Monday and over 30 again Tuesday, when Edinburgh is 23C and under 20.
UKHSA Amber health warning and all. https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/weather-health-alerts/heat/london
We even discussed this specific risk at another London institution. And as @… just wrote on his latest velotrain thread, I know there are many people suffering far worse affects than this.

Community input to the European Strategy on particle physics: Searches for Permanent Electric Dipole Moments
Searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) in fundamental particles and quantum systems with spin are pivotal experiments at the intersection of low-energy and high-precision particle physics. These investigations offer a complementary pathway to uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model, parallel to high-energy collider searches. EDM experiments are among the most sensitive probes for detecting non-standard time-reversal (T) symmetry violations and, via the CPT theorem, CP-violation (C…

Mitä tapahtuu, jos maailma kohtaa uuden pandemian ja samaan aikaan Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vastaa Yhdysvaltojen terveyspolitiikasta?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – Arvostettu ympäristöjuristi sai pakkomielteen, ja seuraukset voivat olla kohtalokkaat maailmalle
Time-lehti nosti Kennedyn 2006 yhdeksi ”planeetan sankareista”. Jos uusi pandemia puhkeaa, hän aiheuttaa USA:n terveysministerinä katastrofin.

How urban rewilding could be an ‘antidote’ to declining biodiversity
Native animals like beavers, hornbills, and even platypuses are being reintroduced into city parks, wetlands and reserves around the world.

Altijd goed , de objectieve cijfers rondom migratie.

Minder immigratie in 2024, vooral minder kennismigranten
In 2024 kwamen 316 duizend immigranten naar Nederland. Dat waren er 19 duizend minder dan het jaar ervoor. Zowel de immigratie uit EU-landen als uit overige landen was lager dan in 2023, het aantal immigranten met de Nederlandse nationaliteit bleef gelijk. Vooral het aantal kennismigranten dat van buiten de EU naar Nederland kwam daalde. Dat meldt het CBS op basis van recente cijfers.

One thing that came to mind, reading about the BBC putting up a paywall, is how much a lot of US perception of the UK, and especially London, is shaped by the most extreme right wing bloviators.
When a left-wing muslim became the presumptive candidate for NY mayor, many people were losing their minds.
Pointing out that London has had a left-wing muslim mayor for almost a decade is met with a conception of London that is a mix of sharia law and knife murders.
