@lufthansa You finally paid my £145 delayed-baggage claim, but only after endless chasing, misinformation and being passed between departments. A simple claim became an exhausting ordeal. Appalling customer service. Full review: https://t.co/1SdD250RR7

The USA has abandoned all reason. We can all appreciate the need for each research dollar to work as hard for the economy as possible - in every country. But science suicide defies all understanding.

I cannot believe what we’re witnessing in the #OvalOffice. Stomach churning and disgraceful attempt by #Trump and #Vance to bully, humiliate and browbeat #Zelensky. ‘This will make great television.’ It will - if you enjoy watching betrayal and democracy crumble in real time.

@SimonWardMusic @amazonmusic They are sneaky. Recently they gave music unlimited subscribers a monthly ‘free’ audio book. Now they put the price up. But you can avoid the price increase by changing to music standard. That’s identical to unlimited but no ‘feee’ audiobook. Sneaky

@mrdavemacleod Ian tells it how it is. We need more folk like him to remind us what sanity sounds like.

@MartinSLewis Yes. Bought some earplugs for travelling. They had 5/5 review. The card included with them said I’d get £15 (more than the earplugs!) for a 5 star review. The earplugs were useless. I really wish this type of activity could be stamped out and we could trust the reviews

Important read from @ucuedinburgh for anyone at @EdinburghUni (e.g. @GeosciencesEd ) who is trying to make sense of the Principal's email from last week:

Just published. Our latest publication, lead by Ualisson Bellon, of a micro chemical and paleomagnetic study showing continental-scale remagnetization. https://t.co/Tll9Rg4fKx

Latest paper, led by Ualisson Bellon, showing how to combine nanoscopic tomography and micromagnetics to assess paleomagnetic signals. https://t.co/W6DIQpHdpN

@bbclaurak Another great article @bbclaurak . The conservatives were terrible, but they did not operate in a vacuum. Part of the blame must be laid at the very weak opposition provided by the labour party. Stop the blame @Keir_Starmer, because Labour is not blame free. Start leading .

Just saw the comments from @realDonaldTrump in the interview with @rachelvscott. Why would anyone vote for Trump? He is a disgrace, representing only the worst of America. What am I missing here, that he seems to be so popular?

Magnetotactic bacteria navigate by using chains of nanoscopic iron minerals. Much larger chains, on the micrometer scale, have been found dating back 1.88 billion years, hinting at the existence of ancient giant magnetotactic bacteria. In PNAS: https://t.co/FKHGAROckx

@HillaryClinton Does lock him up! have a ring to it. I'm sure it never crossed your mind :) Chickens and roosts.

Great to see Ualisson's paper in press!

@NanoPaleoMag Oh me too. Thank goodness this came in time for my lecturer on introduction to geomagnetism on Monday. Maybe we could try injecting the dissolved magnets into the blood to see if we gain any superpowers. I’ve a feeling Trump may already tried this. How can we tell?!

[Hugh Pumphrey @HughPumphrey]

I do not think that the senior management at @EdinburghUni can be pleased that the @BBC @BBCNews @BBCBreaking are reporting again on what an utter shitshow the #PainandMisery fiasco was. What a shame it would be if lots of people tweeted the article. https://t.co/6t9gtAW5Se
