A weekly round up of links etc.
SCROLLING:
- To defeat an insurgent far-right, Labour must resist Brexit with all its force
The left must fight for the softest possible form of exit and then unleash a counter-attack in the form of a second referendum.
- Jupiter’s unknown journey through the early solar system revealed
It is known that gas giants around other stars are often located very near their sun. According to accepted theory, these gas planets were formed far away and subsequently migrated to an orbit closer to the star. Now, researchers from Lund University and other institutions have used advanced computer simulations to learn more about Jupiter’s journey through our own solar system approximately 4.5 billion years ago. At that time, Jupiter was quite recently formed, as were the other planets in the solar system. The planets were gradually built up by cosmic dust, which circled around our young sun in a disk of gas and particles. Jupiter was no larger than our own planet.
- The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ranked
“Everyone loves ranking things. Books, restaurants, vacations, sex partners – we all love a good ranked list that puts things (or people) in their place ahead of or behind other things (or people). It may not offer much room for serious and deep critiques, but it’s a fun way to see where other people’s opinions stand against the objective truth of your own.”
- Jordan Peterson Is a Poor Researcher Whose Own Sources Contradict His Claims
“Peterson’s claims regarding a Babylonian creation epic are contradicted by experts, including the ones who wrote the books he quotes about it.”
- Iconic: Animated Pop-Art Graphics of Bowie, Darth Vader and Daft Punk
“Architecturally inspired animated 3D scenes pay tribute to David Bowie, Darth Vader and Daft Punk in a striking new series by Vincent Viriot. The direction and motion designer created the ‘ICONIC’ trio of animated graphics for a Parisian design studio of the same name in what has got to be some of the coolest branding ever.”
- Brexit breakdown: a big day in the north – video
“Some hardcore remainers think they have heard enough from leave-voting northern towns, but people in those places are still desperate to be heard: about poverty, cuts, and how and when we might leave the EU. As Theresa May’s deal hits the skids, Anywhere But Westminster hits Wigan: 64% leave, and still waiting for the answers.”
- The end of open: BBC blocks its podcasts on Google
“Some time on March 19th, the BBC started blocking all access to its podcasts on Google search, Google Assistant, and Google Podcasts. No new podcasts have appeared within Google Podcasts since March 19th, and many podcasts have already been removed altogether from the service. All BBC podcasts are affected across Google properties, including the popular Global News Podcast and Brexitcast”
- The Brexit farce is about to turn to tragedy
“Welcome to Disneyland. Leading Brexiter Jacob Rees-Mogg is playing Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer’s apprentice from Fantasia; Theresa May is the wicked witch from Snow White — though she is short on magic. Across the pond, an evil ogre known as Donald Trump is waiting to eat us all up.”
