There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.
Stunning shots coming through from #Artemis II after its lunar flyby yesterday. 🌖🌍
UK expertise is playing key roles in the mission, from helping build the spacecraft to tracking its journey through space 👉 https://t.co/3jLZ8uzQ9S

On #WorldCancerDay, a reminder of what nuclear science can do when it is focused on people: nearly 70% of cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. This is the gap we set out to close with @IAEAorg’s #RaysOfHope.
Some of the achievements since I launched the initiative in 2022 include:
- over 90 pieces of diagnostic and treatment equipment, including linear accelerators and mammography units;
- 18 Anchor Centres established and training hundreds of oncology professionals;
- more than €90 million mobilized to expand cancer care where it is needed most.
Hospitals are being built, technology is being transferred, but we can still do more to bring cancer care closer to people that need it the most. This is what the IAEA stands for: turning science into access, and access into lives saved. With Rays of Hope, we are building cancer care systems that will last.
sorry for trauma dumping on main but my family booted up jackbox and my prompt was "What would an action movie starring a frog be called?" and i BEAM "James Pond" off the dome, BUT NOBODY LAUGHED, THEY JUST SAID "oh wow that's clever"
I DIDN'T EVEN GET A FUCKING QUIPLASH DUDE
Would you believe that in 2025 we’d be discussing whether rape survivors who’ve secured convictions are worthy of believing based on “vibes”. Sickening.
I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.
It took all the strength I had to report my rapist. I endured a justice system that was brutal and traumatic, but against all odds I secured a conviction. After that I waived my anonymity in the hopes of helping others. The price of doing this was a campaign of abuse.
"I hope you get cancer."
No player should suffer social media abuse like this…
