Former biochemist but escaped from the lab! Now an interdisciplinary social scientist.

Political account - on Birdsite this overtook things somewhat so I've separated it out. (So please don't take offence if I follow you on only one account! It's a judgement on content type, not quality.) (UK-based)

So utterly sick of anti trans lot still writing utter nonsense about me - i don’t seek it - but some of if leaks back to me - still relentless - they are the reason I quit from Infinite Monkey Cage - I job I utterly loved , but I really feel they aren’t happy til your dead and I’m afraid they won’t bully me into an early departure

God damn, Magyar is fantastic.

The president fills the same role as the monarch does in he UK. Magyar had to go to him to request his appointment as PM (though constitutionally the president couldn't refuse) during which he described him as a disgrace to the country and their democracy, and urged him to resign immediately.

Then posed for photos with him.

The autocratic right’s biggest plays are delivering perverse results: Brexit makes the case for the EU; Russia’s invasion is strengthening Ukraine & Europe; Trump’s aggression has accelerated decarbonisation and European autonomy; Trump’s interference has weakened nationalist movements in Europe.

I’m so out of practice with receiving unalloyed good news that I don’t know how to react. But this is indisputably good news for Europe and the world. 🇪🇺🇭🇺

Orban has conceded. Majority too big for him to try any nonsense. Tisza is going to have plenty of challenges in sorting out Orban's mess but this is a good day.

Is this what good news feels like?

Orban conceded, opposition supermajority looking pretty likely.

End of an era, and the most entrenched far right in Europe defeated.

Had I not overspent this month it'd have been champagne or a Sussex sparkling!

Find it a bit depressing that what's going on in Lebanon is barely registering. Or, as something more positive that's barely registering, that Ukraine is doing pretty well in the war right now.

I mean, I get that the Iran situation is fucked, but the inability of the media to focus on more than one thing at once is concerning.
