Welp. This is a hell of a story. Canadian Mining Journal published what appeared to be an entirely fabricated deep-sea mining paper, with quotes from fictional people and a source paper that does not exist.

At least the situation in Chernobyl improved as the series went on. Not here.

This is grotesque on multiple levels.

Despite a muted broadcast media response, this will be one of those things that Farage can’t bluster his way out of on a national TV election debate. See also “Hitler was right”, fracking, and the thumbs up in Trump’s golden lift.

If your flagship energy policy was “drill baby drill” and you wanted to maximise return, starting a war that spiked oil and gas prices by 80% would be exactly what you’d do. And you’d be in no hurry to see prices drop.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

No Joe Marler type sports personality, which is a shame. Team sports players can read people and groups better than most.

This will be used in evidence against him.

Ukraine is winning, despite the mountain of opinion to the contrary.

I could live to be a thousand years old and not understand how people do not understand that the logic of 'blowback' only motivates you to do something if you are *already* racist.

He confuses Iran and Ukraine, and Putin helped Iran kill Americans. If Biden said any of this, we’d never hear the end of it.

It’s so funny how the “last person he spoke to” heuristic is so robust. (He had a call with Putin earlier.)

Trump’s luck might be running out economically. This oil surge is not stopping.

WTI now $104 per barrel. Gas prices will soon be above those of the Biden-era. One man to blame. One.

Say what you like about King Charles, but it’s hard to deny his jokes were bloody funny. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

They understand the point of Kimmel’s entire career has been to satirise this stuff? On tomorrow’s show will be a sketch of him breaking and entering Beckmann’s house to gently disagree with him.

That thing that beeps in your house once every 5 years that you need instructions to fix situation just happened. Second only to a plumbing/heating problem in annoyance.

People in their late 70s bruise easily. My parents’ generation use bruising to guess each other’s drug regime. An effortful golf swing would be enough to produce this.

Impressive. But to reiterate this before it’s forgotten: this happened where it did, when it did, in part because of an unusual 8 km/h easterly wind on a course heavily biased to running east in the last half.

A genuinely fascinating conversation from our recent event in London. Rory Sullivan and Greg Jackson discuss our energy future and how to survive it.

I am struggling to give less of a shit about a shooting at a black tie dinner in America. Sorry.

OMFG #tcslondonmarathon #londonmarathon

My science take on the 1:59:30 is simple: capable athletes drafted the first half, and tail wind for most of the second half. Prevailing wind in London is westerly. Today wind was a light easterly.

Btw, it’s not just the fastest official marathon run, it’s the fastest marathon ever. The Ineos event was 10 s slower.

“They said it [sub 2 h marathon] couldn’t be done”. Well, exercise physiologists have been saying it could for 35 years. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Um, this is quick. #LondonMarathon

London marathon personal story: I often saw Jess Warner-Judd out running in Loughborough when she trained here. Always said hello, and was luckily running in the other direction. She has a PhD in molecular biology too.

When you do a blockade you're meant to starve the enemy, not yourselves...

The Falklands War lasted as long as it did because of logistics - two months of ships on a war footing meant ships and crew were knackered. Ships that have been at sea for 8+ months are now doing a blockade. Crazy.

11:23 tonight it’s 40 years to the minute. Chernobyl is not a story of nuclear danger, but one of political and systems failure. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

I know I am lucky, but I have also been installing this stuff over the last 20 years. This was my solar generation yesterday. 64.1 kWh As well as running the house I added 40 kWh to the car which is approx 150 miles. No matter the politics, the technology works.

UK public option on 9 April showed 65% disapproved of the war in Iran.

600%.
