Eurostar, you really need to sort yourself out. I love trains, and I'm never going to fly across the Channel if there's a sensible train to do the job. But even if I was in the market for an upgrade, I'm not going to play stupid games to get it. Just decide on a price, and make it fair & transparent
Watch the video embedded in Christina's post. Watch it, and know that harrowing though it is to watch, it is nothing compared to what those doctors and nurses went through. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Kev Fong is both intellectually brilliant and an amazing writer, broadcaster, and friend. He was closer than so many to what happened in hospitals during the pandemic and his testimony to the Covid inquiry is clearly incredibly important. Please read this. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Earlier this week I went to the ARTIS-Micropia museum in Amsterdam, and it's brilliant: a beautifully done, elegant, inventive and informative museum of microbes. Do go if you get the chance! www.micropia.nl/en/
I love this display at the ARTIS-Groote Museum in Amsterdam, showing water volume compared with Earth. We treat the little water we have so badly. And yet we're so excited every time there's even a hint of water on Mars. We need to recognise how precious Earth's water is and treat it accordingly.
