‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.” But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.’ New, by Emily Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
“What will the Lovell Telescope discover/enable 20 yrs from now? I can’t tell you, and that’s the point. It will either be something extraordinary that none of us can yet predict, or we will defund it and leave Cheshire with a rusting monument to unfulfilled potential and discoveries never made.” 🔭🧪
Awful, awful news.

So one of the things I repeatedly see people doing in the rights-at-border discourse is mixing up your rights at a border point of entry (when you are specifically crossing into the US, as in at an airport or at a physical territorial border) and your rights in the 100 mile border zone.
And that's the whole damn problem. We can have 150k people marching in 30°C weather and maybe The Indy and Evening Standard will say anything. We'll get more coverage in *foreign media* than our own. That's absolutely criminal, and it's a big part of why our rights are in decline: we have no voice.
