Nigel Farage reportedly "barricaded" in one of his houses with the property being patrolled by security guards. Described as being "scared for his life" after two Chihuahuas were seen in the vicinity. It is unclear if the dogs are Liberal Democrats.

I have had explained to me a lot today the difference between erotica and pornography. As if there is a solid line between the two that has not been shaped by generations of symbolic violence. Sadly, the same-sex attracted know too well that such moral designations are weapons.

During her adolescence, Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski constructed a functioning aircraft from an assembly kit and piloted the vehicle independently by the age of sixteen. Today, the prominent theoretical physicist, frequently compared to Albert Einstein by academic peers, conducts research aimed at uncovering the fundamental mathematical structure governing the cosmos. She currently serves as a faculty member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, Canada, where she manages the Celestial Holography Initiative. Her primary research focuses on quantum gravity, a profound challenge in modern physics centered on reconciling Albert Einstein's general relativity, which explains macro-scale gravity, space, and time, with quantum mechanics, which dictates the behavior of subatomic particles. Within this domain, she has formulated a novel structural framework designed to describe the essential physics of our universe. This model, known as celestial holography, maps bulk gravitational interactions onto a lower-dimensional boundary. The paradigm conceptualizes the universe similarly to a standard hologram, suggesting that four-dimensional spacetime phenomena can be mathematically encoded on a vast, distant spherical boundary encompassing the cosmos, mirroring the way a flat surface stores a three-dimensional visual image. Pasterski notes that the highly specialized nature of this advanced framework limits meaningful discussion of her research to a few thousand experts globally. Her path to high-energy physics deviated significantly from traditional academic trajectories. After completing her experimental aircraft construction as a teenager, she attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 2013 with the highest achievable grade point average in the physics department. She subsequently pursued graduate studies at Harvard University, earning a doctorate in 2019. During her doctoral work, she co-discovered a novel manifestation of infrared physics known as the spin memory effect. This phenomenon represents a permanent, physical distortion or angular momentum imprint left behind in the fabric of spacetime after the passage of gravitational waves. While these concepts currently remain entirely theoretical, they establish a foundational roadmap for ongoing investigations into quantum gravity. References: Pasterski, S., Pate, M., & Raclariu, A.

I’ve reached an age when some people offer me their seat on the tube - and I no longer feel any offence to my dignity. I just say yes gratefully. Except I’ve noticed they have one thing in common - they are almost always people of colour. True Brits.

.@AbdulElSayed: RFK Jr. didn't bother to show up when 8,000 people were infected by the shit lettuce. But he wants to come here and lecture you about electing an Arab-American to the US Senate. Here's the funny thing. My guy has zero doctorates. I got 2 of 'em. This is what happens when you DOGE the part of government that is supposed to protect you from the lettuce that has been shat upon. We all suffered the consequences.

I find this especially bleakly hilarious given that OnlyFans is the only big UK based platform company. But then again, they’ve never had a problem throttling the university sector. Next they’ll be outlawing Games Workshop content.

One of the funniest video clips I've seen this year. Don't miss it.

There was and is absolutely no reason to be cognisant of Stink.

Wanting the freedom to live in Spain, work in France or retire in Italy isn't selfish. Neither is wanting those choices for your children. Freedom of Movement wasn't a special privilege for a few. It was a freedom available to millions. It's reasonable to want it back.

Russian war criminal Lavrov just landed in Atlanta, US 🇷🇺🇺🇸 We are now welcoming international terrorists and a war criminals in this country. Americans should remember that when voting, Trump & Co is working with terrorists.
