Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

@CCriadoPerez @Join_ZOE @timspector I stopped logging my symptoms on @join_ZOE after getting pregnant because there was no way to log that fact and it seemed critical to interpreting symptoms. Fatigue, headaches etc

My son died fourteen years ago today. If you’re struggling with the loss of a loved one, I have some promises for you.

@barrytorch14 @NorahWoodsey Just a heads up that vid is misleading, this incident is from June when Sgarbi was thrown out for shouting insults in the chamber, not for not wearing a mask. He is actually wearing one in that vid, albeit under his chin! Here's an article with more info. https://t.co/P52IMM8TOK

Hans Sloane bust hasn’t been ‘removed’, it’s been taken off pedestal & put into a cabinet surrounded by artefacts which explore his wealth & collecting in context of the human exploitation which enabled it. Modern enlightenment at @britishmuseum

Many of the places we care for have direct or indirect links to slavery, including objects made from materials obtained by forced labour.

Today, as we mark the @UNESCO Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we take a closer look at these materials.

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
