I had to miss as my 7 yo has primary school concert tonight so fly in 7am tomorrow after a fine evening of choreography no doubt.
You may be allowed to vote in the next UK election due to recent changes:

The UK Tories are now desperate to claw votes from citizens overseas. By contrast, in 2016, our votes were not sought for the #Brexit referendum. We lost our EU passports without being granted the right to weigh in.
I encourage others who were annoyed by this to give the Tories the finger symbolically from abroad.
Interesting read and focus on some NZ volunteers in Ukraine on the front line. Rare journalist embed in Donetsk and good insight into a small team.

Have been slow on the 'twitter is dead to me vibe' but honestly the amount of ads has shot thru the roof?
I always use Twitter on latest tweets because that is at least real reflection of timeline not just algo jedi mind tricks. Ages ago I noticed they just send you into aggravating content to drive engagement.
But now latest tweets just ads ads ads, trying to mute them all is just like plugging a leaky boat.

Our work on experimental #evolution of bacterial swimming is out today in @ScienceAdvances.
We used CRISPR/Cas9 to make the engine of nature’s oldest wheel sodium powered and then starved it of sodium to encourage it to adapt to be able to move.
