Chancellor is going to cut NI, saving me a couple of hundred quid a year.... I can't get a call with a GP in anything under four weeks, but I'll be two hundred quid a year better off. Go Tories!

Tell you what... keep the 200 quid. Fix the NHS. And for pity's sake, be honest with us about the correlation between the tax we pay and the level of public service we enjoy!

The Tory ideology is that tax is a punishment. It's not. It's the price you pay to live in a functioning society!

I just noticed I missed this pretty massive tidbit of information from @joinpeertube regarding the roadmap for #PeerTube

"…Official PeerTube mobile application (end of 2024)"

This has been a long-requested development from the PeerTube community, and something I hear from our #tilvids community all the time. What an exciting development from an amazing organization! 🙌

Webb continues to find chemicals in the atmospheres of exoplanets, like carbon dioxide and water vapor. Astronomers report they've discovered methane in the atmosphere of WASP 80 b. Although life can produce methane, there are inorganic ways to generate it, too. Methane has been found in the atmospheres of all the giant planets in the Solar System. WASP 80 b is a "warm jupiter", warmer than our planets but nothing like the hottest planets found.
