Perhaps if respected outlets had done a better job of deciphering political propaganda versus factual content from their own pieces, they could have maintained some credibility. Instead, they've blurred the lines of what is considered a hoax from truth. Wish it weren't that way.

Beliefs in conspiracy theories can damage societies and individuals, but the only effective ways to counter them are impractical, according to a review https://t.co/J6QZkh5EyU

This was a great #WorldCupFinal. Both teams put on a great show. Despite my deception for France losing, the main emotion I feel is pride for the great football drama they showed. #Argentina clearly deserved the win, congratulations to the champions!

Flew on a E30-4

Also launched my NikeX model rocket from Q-Modelling. This is a long-discontinued kit: it's the 1.96:1 scale version from the Retro Model Series. Paint finish was chrome olive and black instead of white and black. Successful deployment, however it got stuck in a tree...

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

It yawed abruptly to the right soon after clearing the launch rod. The winds dragged it and the parachute to the trees behind when descending; after reaching an estimated apogee of 180m

Launched my Arcturus model rocket from Rocketarium around Brighton and Hove today. Flew it on a D12-5 engine.

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

Flight went splendidly and reached an estimated apogee of 250m. However the parachute failed to deploy (wadding tight) and it suffered a ballistic nose dive

@mymyhgl Syracuse et Ragusa à ne surtout pas manquer! Les ruines d'Agrigento (prenez un guide en personne!). Et si vous êtes à Palerme: cathedrale de Monreale et le palais Normand ;)

@ac952 @EARS_UK Un événement de lancement de fusées auquel j'ai assisté

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

In addition to some very impressive model rockets, we also had some mid-power rockets @EARS_UK

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

I mean... this thing was h.u.g.e ! And quite heavy. Took about 30 minutes to prep the pad

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

And some high powered rocketry! This one had a K rated motor in addition to 2 side boosters... Serious stuff @EARS_UK

[Julien Baur @JBaur7]

I am at the EARS annual launch event. Let's see some rockets fly ! https://t.co/aYxgVA3dWM

Unpopular opinion: People on the right & left accept science when it confirms the positions they already hold & ignore science when it doesn't.

@ScienceClic Avant de définir une énergie, il faut spécifier un système. Or, le système {photon + space temps qu'il occupe} n'est pas très bien défini.
