Jeremy Hunt is saying we cannot max out the national credit card this morning. This is total nonsense. There is no national credit card. Instead it’s the job of government to make the money we use. And since it can always make that money it can never max out on credit.

But Jeremy Hunt does not understand the macroeconomics of running a national economy. Instead he pretends he’s running a household or business. They can’t max out the credit card without consequence. But governments don’t have credit cards, for a start.

My Veil Nebula. This one was a 2 panel, about 20 hours per panel. 10 hours each panel of 5nm OIII and H-a Astrodon filters for a Bi-colour finish. Taken through my Sky-Watcher Esprit 100mm Apo.
Mosaics are not really my thing, matching the panels was not fun. Haven't done another since..

Markus Sommer #biodata22 closing us out with "Structure‐guided isoform analysis for the human transcriptome".

Problem: We have many more transcript annotations than genes. Which isoforms actually represent functional proteins?

Leveraging folding algorithms (e.g. AlphaFold2) to score each isoform, high score = more likely to be functional. Showed some examples where this scoring approach matches experimental data. Says not perfect, but helpful data point.

OTD in 1940 Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov arrived in Berlin, received Guard of Honor and had friendly meet with Hitler.

Totally not allies

We do not need a strong economy to pay for the NHS. We need a strong NHS as a pre-condition of a strong economy. Government spending always comes before tax revenues can flow in. Never more true than the moment we are in now.

So I'll start as I'd like to think I'll go on - with a photo! And I'll start with a good one! It's not new, but hey, you've probably not seen it before 😂

#Peebles in the Scottish Borders at sunset, a January a few years ago

It was spectacular! And pure luck that the photo wasn't ruined by camera shake as I was shooting over a 6 foot wall!

First tentative foray into Mastodon. Hello hello is anyone there?

The sky here is always up to wonderful things...

The year is 2050. Food production has collapsed. Soylent is now the only food available.

In an attempt to increase sales, the major Australian supermarkets bring a new product to market.

Introducing "Vegemite Soylent"

Which One

Any way we can persuade Elon Musk to buy The Sun, The Daily Mail and the Daily Express?

Mastodonians, join me here and make me the most followed politician on the planet!
