I used to host Science On Top, a science news podcast. But then 2020 happened, and after 9 years it has ended.

I’m a #skeptic, a geek, and a sci-fi buff. Big #Pratchett fan. I’m both intrigued and frustrated by #politics & #journalism.

But mostly I just toot random things that come to mind, or silly jokes, or memes. You're not always going to get intellectual profundity, but hey anything's possible.

@MarcAbrahams Few weeks ago I showed the IG Nobels to my son, nine years old, and now he is crazy about flying frogs, stresful cows and dogs peeing to the south/north (actually, our dog is being the continuation of this experiment 😁)
So, everyday he asks me something about science, and -despite I dont have scientist knowledge- we look for the answer together using wikipedia.

Thank you so much for making science atractible for children 👏

Scott Morrison was such a control freak that he secretly appointed himself as a Minister for 6 additional portfolios when he was PM, but he did not have any responsibility for Robodebt when he was just the Minister in charge of it. OK.

So with the Supreme Court ruling against the Tangerine Tyrant's tariffs, I wonder if we'll see strikes in Iran to distract everyone?

The Art Of The Deal looks a lot like The Art Of War sometimes.

Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The black-moustachio'd face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston's own.

Headline says it all, really.
It took 80 years for a woman to become Liberal leader, and 9 months to ditch her

It took 80 years to get a woman Liberal leader, and nine months to ditch her

Sussan Ley vowed to be a different opposition leader, one who consulted widely and listened to her broad church. But it left many wondering what, if anything, she stood for.

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.
