So England Football has more than 50 males taking places from females in the women’s game. England and Wales Cricket Board & Table tennis discriminate against their female athletes with just SELF ID of males stealing places just like park run, a disgraceful lack of fair opportunities for females

If junior doctors are ā€˜apprentice doctors’ or ā€˜doctors in training’ then surely backbench MPs are ā€˜apprentice MPs’ or ā€˜MPs in training’ so should be paid less since they haven’t done several years study

The distribution of zeros in Vorob'ev-Yablonski polynomials Qn(x), which provide rational solutions of the classical #Painleve II equation, is truly fascinating. Zeros are simple and form a triangular pattern (Peter Clarkson and E Mansfield dx.doi.org/10.1088/0951-7…)

Obviously, teaching mathematics (which Lehrer chose to do) is just some obscure profession not worthy of the finer minds. Who knew? theguardian.com/music/article/…

This is Colonel Nicole Malachowski. A 21-year veteran of the Air Force, she is the first woman to fly with the Thunderbirds and flew 26 missions in Iraq. Trump has removed all mention of her from federal websites. RETWEET if you stand with Nicole Malachowski against Trump!
