Uh-oh, trouble in Christian Nationalist paradise!

Now that MTG has finally denounced Trump's best buddy Nick Fuentes, he is not handling it all that well. His bitter rant is a must-watch, friends.

It’s good to be back in the rehearsal room! If you’re in London Jan-Apr, be sure to catch me live and on stage in Allegiance, based on my own life story.

"Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,” believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”

We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.

The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.

Telling report today on the 19:00 German TV2 main evening news: "In the afternoon, the Last Generation is a topic of debate in the Bundestag. The climate demands get barely a mention, e.g. a speed limit. It's exclusively about the means of protest and more severe punishment."

It’s a wrap! I had a hoot taping The Graham Norton Show, laughing about life and discussing my legacy project Allegiance. Catch us on the tele Friday at 10:45p on BBC1 and twice again over the weekend!

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

#OnThisDay, 1 Dec 1955, Rosa Parks does not give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger, and is arrested. Although not the first black woman to be arrested Parks' refusal is a key moment in the American civil rights movement.

I’m so confused. Santa has always been Asian. I met him in the internment camps, and he was definitely Japanese.

I’ve been saying this for years.

Boost and fav if you agree!

One in 23 people will require humanitarian relief in 2023, UN warns

A global relief fund of a record $51.5bn will be needed to assist 339 million people suffering because of 2022’s ‘extreme events’ (Guardian)

PS. Imagine the situation when we add a '0' to the end of that figure: approximately 3.5 billion* people will likely be displaced and forced to migrate due to #ClimateChange impacts by the 2070s. #climate #security #migration https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/dec/01/one-in-23-people-will-require-humanitarian-relief-in-2023-un-warns

London is a singular city of surprises and new discoveries, even for a grizzled veteran London visitor. This the Battersea Power Station, which has undergone an incredible renovation.
I hope to see many of you when I make my London debut this January in Allegiance!

Great article on the insanity of the #crypto market from @Frances_Coppola .

In 1952 Rosalind Franklin & Raymond Gosling collected their famous diffraction pattern of #DNA, photo 51.

But did you know that Elwyn Beighton, in #Leeds produced a strikingly similar image the year before? For some reason his boss, Bill Astbury wasn't interested & so they never published the work.

Dad joke. I know, it’s a bad hobbit of mine.

Elon Musk plans to reinstate nearly ALL previously banned Twitter accounts — to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts. The decision will have dangerous consequences, particularly for vulnerable communities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/24/twitter-musk-reverses-suspensions/ #twitter #twittermigration #tech #technology #elon #TwitterMigrate
