The James Webb Space Telescope has a new launch date! Really hope it goes well and the concept works well so we get something like LUVOIR made ahead of schedule.
Kids all over the country should be really fired about this one, it's the long term replacement for Hubble even though the pictures will look different. It's going to be spectacular.
Sometimes I really regret not following my passion of astrophysics and went into chemistry itself because it had a defined career pathway to medicine or pharma (which I didn't do anyway). My old physics teacher was pretty upset when I informed him that I had chosen chemistry and biochemistry for my university choices.

Can’t wait for this. The Hubble and ESA pictures are fantastic of distant space but this will be revolutionary.
The Guardian is often not much more nuanced than the Telegraph these days. I think part of it is its supporters' funding model, which makes it much more likely to preach to the choir. They still have some excellent opinion columnists, like Polly Toynbee, George Monbiot, Rafael Behr, John Harris and others, but daily news and also sometimes arts and culture coverage is on a somewhat downward, very outspokenly opinionated slope.
Fuck right off. No wonder Philip is so desperate to say "nothing to see here"
I want Boris out, but this is just pathetic.
"Woman who lives in flat is in her own garden, news at 11"
Fuck off. Get some serious shit, there's enough of it going around.
Indeed, a total non story pushed by leftwingers. Most of us had socials in our garden last spring and summer and most of those in the photo in the No 10 garden with the PM and Carrie were civil servants working there anyway
Well, no; I have been saying that this is a fairly lame story based on the assumption that this is 'at work' - I wish Carrie weren't there but that's because I wish she wasn't part of the 'work' set up. But she is. But I bridle that 'most of had socials in our gardens' - I'm pretty sure most of us followed the letter of the law dutifully that first lockdown. There was incredible reulctance even to venture onto someone else's drive. I remember other passing parents pitifully trying to stop their kids coming on to our drive to play with our kids. I remember the feeling of gleeful freedom when people were first allowed in gardens - in June 2020 - and for the first time in three months our youngest could play with someone her own age. So no, I certainly wouldn't try that line of defence.
But again, the far bigger issue is why is the fat fucker trying to lock us all up again? It can't be judt that he wants all the cheese for himself.

Yes, and being able to peer through the dust is going to be amazing for our understanding of what goes on behind the veil.

It was against the rules to have socials in gardens. Most of us occasionally had a quick chat at a distance on someone’s doorstep while dropping off food or some other pretext and that was it for social life. I remember how exciting it was when it changed in June(?) to be permissible to sit in someone else’s garden and see people you hasn’t seen for 3 months.
Maybe you were breaking the rules too, but most people really weren’t.
Spot on. This was right in the middle of the deepest lockdown period. Shame the photos didn't come out at the time.

Extremely useful chart as covid runs rampant in the UK and we all plan for Christmas
It shows how long after exposure to covid you will be detectable by a lateral flow test vs a PCR test if you do have it And at what stages you are likely infectious

Thanks. Just to be clear the infectious period is the whole of the shaded area (days 2.5 to 11) right? Not just the pink area (days 3 to 7).
Depends what you mean by infectious period. You are most infectious at the peak, and it would be challenging to infect anyone without kissing them when you are in either tail.

Pathetic. They won **** all, and poor Southgate had to acknowledge that.
Daley and Lee should have won that.
The most ridiculous opinion aired on here for quite some time. Bravo.
Why ?
A gallant loser is still a loser.
That's stupid Trump talk.
I go down in a 5 set thriller in the Wimbledon final.
I come 1st in the Hampstead annual crepe tossing contest.
Which is the greater achievement?
They lost, pathetically. On penalties, again. Despite being the better team in terms of talent
England is the home of football, with the world’s greatest football league, and now an embarrassment of young footballing skill
We should be expecting to WIN tournaments - like Germany, France, Italy or Spain - not pitifully grateful for a silver medal
It’s this loser attitude that means we lose. When we ditch this attitude, we win. See various English/British teams in rugby, cricket, golf, Olympic sports etc

Just thinking a bit more about the photo taker....one shouldn't forget that Dishy Rishi only got the job because he was Big Dom's man. He didn't want somebody like Javid, as worried he might be too much of a spendthrift for the "levelling up" agenda.

Is the Times really centrist? It seems an unbashed pro tory mouthpiece even if it backed Blair in the past. If Sunak is leader the Times is surely 100% certain to get behind him too. Even Matthew Parris has taken a more right wing stance on refugees.

WRONG! Very surprised you do not know the rules that existed then. Your PM said:
"From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home.
Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households.
That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes:
shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household; any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home. That’s all - these are the only reasons you should leave your home.
You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No."

There was a twitter thread showing it was very likely that the party/meeting or whatever wasn't against the legislation because of how it was written. So HYUFD may be technically correct.
Played for Citeh and England (ust like last year and next year) ... er ... that's it
The whole SPotY shortlist was daft. As you say, Raheem Sterling was not England's top scorer at Euro 2020 and nor did he feed any starving schoolchildren. SPotY was a strangely all-English affair, and even in a record Olympics year, the BBC's choice of Olympians did not extend past the two also known for appearing on television shows.
Lewis got robbed of the WDC and was therefore dropped from the shortlist. Left them with an all white shortlist. Raheem drafted in. That could have been how it went.

Sunak's trip seems to be getting a bit murkier. No published itinerary, no listing of government business.
Like I said a while back it was likely a holiday with a ‘meeting’ hurriedly arranged as thin justification/mitigation after the UK media started showing some interest in it.

Yes; and not only did England fail to win, they were only good in two or three matches. Which admittedly is more than usual, but still nothing to get excited about.
Given association football started here, and given we are one of the largest and richest football-playing countries, England should be one of 6-8 countries who would expect to be getting to the final one time in four. What they achieved was slightly better than par. There are hundreds and hundreds of other teams in the UK that have had a better year than 'slightly better than par'.nIt's not limited to international teams, remember.
The Wales rugby union team would have been my favourite for the title. They were rather better than the England football team, I'd say.

You said Lewis not being in the shortlist left them with an all white one, but Raducanu isn't white so how can that be true.

There was a twitter thread showing it was very likely that the party/meeting or whatever wasn't against the legislation because of how it was written. So HYUFD may be technically correct.
Yes, I have seen that. I accept it's open to interpretation.
The Guardian is often not much more nuanced than the Telegraph these days. I think part of it is its supporters' funding model, which makes it much more likely to preach to the choir. They still have some excellent opinion columnists, like Polly Toynbee, George Monbiot, Rafael Behr, John Harris and others, but daily news and culture coverage is on a somewhat downward, very outspokenly opinionated slope.
The vast majority of Guardian readers are Labour or LD voters as the vast majority of Telegraph readers are Conservative voters. The Times is the swing paper of the broadsheets and generally the most centrist.
If any paper switches from backing Boris in 2019 to backing Starmer next time it would likely be the Times
I get the Times and I sense it is having a think about that.
As a paper delivered? I'm sort of thinking that I need to do that (not specific to the Times)
Extremely useful chart as covid runs rampant in the UK and we all plan for Christmas
It shows how long after exposure to covid you will be detectable by a lateral flow test vs a PCR test if you do have it And at what stages you are likely infectious
Thanks. Just to be clear the infectious period is the whole of the shaded area (days 2.5 to 11) right? Not just the pink area (days 3 to 7).
Think it's the pink bit, not the shaded bit.
Actually a handy chart, since if you have been ill and do a positive PCR and a negative LFR it suggests you are no longer infectious
Yeah it's something that @Nigelb has posted about before, LFTs are really good at knowing when someone is infectious, the false negatives we hear so much about are almost always during non-infectious periods. If you're tracking an infection with daily LFTs it's basically safe to go out the day after your LFT goes negative, though you'd be breaking the law as I would most likely fall on day 6-8 of the isolation period.
Played for Citeh and England (ust like last year and next year) ... er ... that's it
The whole SPotY shortlist was daft. As you say, Raheem Sterling was not England's top scorer at Euro 2020 and nor did he feed any starving schoolchildren. SPotY was a strangely all-English affair, and even in a record Olympics year, the BBC's choice of Olympians did not extend past the two also known for appearing on television shows.
Lewis got robbed of the WDC and was therefore dropped from the shortlist. Left them with an all white shortlist. Raheem drafted in. That could have been how it went.
Raducanu isn't white?
Don't get the question. What do you mean?
Your original post implied that Raducanu is white. I’d say she is mixed race.
Pathetic. They won **** all, and poor Southgate had to acknowledge that.
Daley and Lee should have won that.
The most ridiculous opinion aired on here for quite some time. Bravo.

I go down in a 5 set thriller in the Wimbledon final.
I come 1st in the Hampstead annual crepe tossing contest.
Which is the greater achievement?
They lost, pathetically. On penalties, again. Despite being the better team in terms of talent
England is the home of football, with the world’s greatest football league, and now an embarrassment of young footballing skill
We should be expecting to WIN tournaments - like Germany, France, Italy or Spain - not pitifully grateful for a silver medal
It’s this loser attitude that means we lose. When we ditch this attitude, we win. See various English/British teams in rugby, cricket, golf, Olympic sports etc

On this I have to agree with you. It’s celebrating mediocrity..A gallant loser is still a loser.

You are welcome to see losing as an achievement just as I am welcome to see it as celebrating failure.

Indeed, a total non story pushed by leftwingers. Most of us had socials in our garden last spring and summer and most of those in the photo in the No 10 garden with the PM and Carrie were civil servants working there anyway
It was against the rules to have socials in gardens. Most of us occasionally had a quick chat at a distance on someone’s doorstep while dropping off food or some other pretext and that was it for social life. I remember how exciting it was when it changed in June(?) to be permissible to sit in someone else’s garden and see people you hasn’t seen for 3 months.
Maybe you were breaking the rules too, but most people really weren’t.
You could have socials in gardens last May even in limited numbers.
Plus those in the photo were at No 10 for government work purposes anyway
Will you please stop using the phrase "last" and specify the actual fucking year? I went months at a time without seeing my family in 2020.
HYUFD, why are you defending this crap? Despite it being abundantly clear the government want to implement another lockdown, your personal red line. And the only thing from stopping them are these photos of the Prime Minister taking the piss out of all of us.

Provided the sample is properly taken, of course, which isn't always the case. But, yes, LFTs are really useful for risk reduction, which is exactly what this is about. The absolutist position of the US and elsewhere, that because LFTs aren't perfect they are useless, is a classic category error.

It’s sad that the preconceptions of a subset of the medical community put the kybosh on much greater use of lateral flow testing earlier. Yes PCR are more accurate, but they are often informing that someone has had Covid, long after they stop being infectious. In terms of controlling disease, knowing when someone is infectious is the most important thing.

Sunak's trip seems to be getting a bit murkier. No published itinerary, no listing of government business.
Like I said a while back it was likely a holiday with a ‘meeting’ hurriedly arranged when the UK media started showing some interest in it.
There is no foreign travel ban at present anyway as long as you are vaccinated and test negative
Optics dear boy, optics.

Are they having trouble turning around tests? The number seems a little low considering we're in the phase when Omicron growth is increasingly the becoming the dominant signal over and above any dilution by Delta.
Taking the by report date numbers, today's is no higher relative to last Sunday than was Thursday vs last Thursday. The multiplier should be higher.
That doesn't make sense yet even for a rapid wave - even like for like with Gauteng. And any deceleration of case increases in London should be countered by acceleration elsewhere.
The rate of acceleration is such that reporting date wobbles should be pretty well ironed out, even steamrollered.

Yes; and not only did England fail to win, they were only good in two or three matches. Which admittedly is more than usual, but still nothing to get excited about.
Given association football started here, and given we are one of the largest and richest football-playing countries, England should be one of 6-8 countries who would expect to be getting to the final one time in four. What they achieved was slightly better than par. There are hundreds and hundreds of other teams in the UK that have had a better year than 'slightly better than par'.nIt's not limited to international teams, remember.
The Wales rugby union team would have been my favourite for the title. They were rather better than the England football team, I'd say.
The Welsh Rugby side fluked their way to the spawniest of titles in the history of the Championship.

Scotland had an asterix next to case numbers saying the volume of tests is causing backlog problems.
Are they having trouble turning around tests? The number seems a little low considering we're in the phase when Omicron growth is increasingly the becoming the dominant signal over and above any dilution by Delta.
Taking the by report date numbers, today's is no higher relative to last Sunday than was Thursday vs last Thursday. The multiplier should be higher.

It's Sunday. While the weekend effect is not as pronounced as for deaths, there is one.
It is Omicron that is growing, not Delta. Hopefully the figures show that Delta is becoming out-competed, as in South Africa.
Also it seems that positive tests ate only a small proportion of the actual infections, which will introduce random effects.

And he did win.
How much does the 7-day rolling average of hospitalisations increase?
But again, the far bigger issue is why is the fat fucker trying to lock us all up again? It can't be judt that he wants all the cheese for himself.
If any paper switches from backing Boris in 2019 to backing Starmer next time it would likely be the Times
I go down in a 5 set thriller in the Wimbledon final.
I come 1st in the Hampstead annual crepe tossing contest.
Which is the greater achievement?
Matthew Macfadyen is brilliant.
The twist of the knife at the end...
Plus those in the photo were at No 10 for government work purposes anyway
Thanks. Just to be clear the infectious period is the whole of the shaded area (days 2.5 to 11) right? Not just the pink area (days 3 to 7).
England is the home of football, with the world’s greatest football league, and now an embarrassment of young footballing skill
We should be expecting to WIN tournaments - like Germany, France, Italy or Spain - not pitifully grateful for a silver medal
It’s this loser attitude that means we lose. When we ditch this attitude, we win. See various English/British teams in rugby, cricket, golf, Olympic sports etc
My Spanish is not so good, and the few links I tried where all indisiverable to me, Boric seems to be shortening on the markets but only slightly.
And so many beautifully observed, deliciously horrible characters
West Wing at its peak was like this, in terms of writing, maybe not as good
"From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home.
Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households.
That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes:
shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible
one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household;
any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and
travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home.
That’s all - these are the only reasons you should leave your home.
You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No."

This was not a social as such anyway as those in the photo with Boris and Carrie were all civil servants working at No 10

It would be very amusing if the trigger for the downfall of Boris were to be one of the rare occasions when he wasn't breaking the rules.
So he took a holiday, what gives?
I’d say the same if Starmer legged it to the Canaries for Chrimbo. This is permitted
We are talking professional sports here. We are celebrating mediocrity.
Given association football started here, and given we are one of the largest and richest football-playing countries, England should be one of 6-8 countries who would expect to be getting to the final one time in four. What they achieved was slightly better than par. There are hundreds and hundreds of other teams in the UK that have had a better year than 'slightly better than par'.nIt's not limited to international teams, remember.
The Wales rugby union team would have been my favourite for the title. They were rather better than the England football team, I'd say.
I went months at a time without seeing my family in 2020.
I fail to see how,it is ‘’Trump talk’ though. Many sports coaches would say the same.
They still lost. Losers should not get medals
Not like that p**** Eadric who hid in a bolthole throughout lockdown one.
Do you think Sir Alex Ferguson would Have been happy had Man Utd finished second in the premier league rather than winning it ? Of course he wouldn’t he’d be driving his team to win.
We celebrate mediocrity and plucky losers in this country. We should want to be winners not satisfied with being a plucky loser.

Their job is to prepare for all eventualities. Which includes planning for a lockdown.

If he was on holidays why didn't they just say so. Just like Boris it's not the act, it's the arse covering cover up that is interesting.

No idea if that is true, but if it was he certainly wouldn't want to tell people.
