An important read about the background and possible motivation of the ICE shooter. His friends describe him as an extremely online edge lord, with no strong political leanings. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

On the one hand, some talking about what the gov must do On the other, a company with the money to do so (parent TATA) didn’t get insurance for a common modern day risk Meanwhile many face tough situations they couldn’t prepare for and the gov support isn’t there because ‘fiscal responsibility’

Retrospectively changing the rights of people to stay in the UK isn't fair, isn't right and is certainly not the British way. To Farage they are,"low skilled migrants." To the majority of Brits, they are our friends and neighbours, working as teachers, carers and in small businesses. A short video 👇

Nailed.

As always; need more data and I'm liable to call this a outlier/natural variation unless we see other polls showing a similar shift. It is at the edge of MoE and YouGov had a nod in a similar direction - so worth keeping a eye on. In general the polling has been remarkably stable

I find this very problematic: “Last minute attempts to frustrate a removal are intolerable, and I will fight them at every step,” Mahmood said. The priority is surely to get to the right outcome according to the law - and ultimately natural justice. 1/

Nothing in this acknowledges the economic reality of why many brownfield sites don’t get away as housing: they’re not financially viable unless someone (usually us, in some form) pays for them to be cleaned up and made ready

“It packs 14.5MWh of energy storage capacity into one unit, equivalent to 10MWh in a 20-foot area. That is far higher than the 6-7MWh products that have been announced over the past year, and double the 5MWh which has become the industry minimum standard over the last several years.”

This is like a text you send at 2 am when you’re drunk and someone you hate keeps booking projects you want

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

This piece should be enough to completely discredit Politico by itself. It’s so irresponsible to both-sides this issue. Axel Springer, eh?

Now that’s a surprise.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

"Super typhoon Ragasa - equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane - packed wind gusts of up to 285km/h (177mph) at its highest point on Monday, and has triggered warnings of floods, storm surges and landslides across the region this week." See nothing about this on US news. bbc.com/news/article...

An article from a site called "Clean Tech Times" about Charlie Kirk and Big Oil money is trending in r/energy on Reddit It's a completely plagiarized, unauthorized, unlinked version of an article I published the day before I have no idea what to do about it except complain. It's so fucked up.

30 years since this happened (28 since I wrote about it). I still recall that wonderful tree and the generosity of my patient in her final illness. www.bmj.com/content/315/...

This very powerful storm is forecast to hit China just west of Hong Kong and Macao, before following China's south coast until it reaches north Vietnam and dissipates. Two further storms are forecast to hit Vietnam in the next week or so, with rainfall likely to be the biggest problem there.

"Our measurements show that wheat and grass-clover mixtures grow just as well between vertical solar panels as in open fields. At the same time, the panels produce electricity in a daily pattern that better matches energy demand. It's a win-win," Get these to Kansas ASAP

So well said

This feels so much like pre referendum times. Opposition proposes crazy, damaging policy [then, Brexit, now, withdrawal of indefinite leave to remain retrospectively...]. Economic arguments made on both sides. Voters can't see the damage of the hypothetical because it hasn't happened...

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Since this is going to be headline news tomorrow… The highest quality research has shown Tylenol use in pregnancy is NOT at all associated with autism risk. To suggest otherwise is to be an amateur that cherry-picks data points from decades ago. What we discussed 2 weeks ago remains true today ⬇️

Tiny Hands and Tiny Mind together at the Kirk memorial.

Times has gone to the dogs entirely which is all you can expect when the Editor, Gallagher, was previously of the S*n and Telegraph. Only fit to line the food waste bin.

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

Lots of Norwegians complaining that the state broadcaster NRK is showing the Kirk memorial live - and uncritically. Have to agree. I’m sure the justification is the political significance, but that’s self-fulfilling. It’s very rare to cover US events live, and this is a propaganda event.

Normalise this 👇

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

One of the post prominent BBC political journalists takes a look at the leaders of all British political parties and decides the one that isn’t serious is the one actually doing politics

We’ve just been to the Casa Ajsaris, an amazing private art museum /collection in Granada. It has very limited opening hours, because it’s in the owner’s house, which is why we haven’t been before. 1/

Many of our VoiceMap audio tours are selling really well, but to be honest the ones of the villages in the Alpujarra haven’t been a great commercial success. So it was lovely to get this review for one of them the other day. And always really happy when our tours introduce new people to VoiceMap.

A bit mystified by these posts. You go into a bar, sit down at a barstool or a table, and someone comes to ask what you’d like to eat or drink. Then they bring it to you.

If you want to be on X, go ahead, no one's stopping you. Free country. You can read The Mail or watch rage-inducing videos on YouTube. Do what you like.

Part of the reason climate has been muted in discourse is because NGOs, and in particular energy + tech focused groups have actively and consciously removed it from their words and statements. Eg: Ember's Electrotech strategy offers their perspective as a *replacement* for worrying about climate

Probably Granada’s finest athlete ever. A legend.

Yesterday, Sept. max. temp. have been broken by a LARGE margin at several high elevation stations in the Alps! 📈😲 Zermatt (1620 m) has broken its record by +2.3 °C! 😱 Summer as we knew it during the 20th century now runs from mid May to mid October🥵 www.meteosuisse.admin.ch/portrait/met...

While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations. Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money. Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

I don’t claim any great expertise on stock market valuations, but it seems we’re in a situation where AI (or AI-adjacent) companies are valued as if AI will take over the world - and legacy companies are valued as if they won’t. Surely one of those two has to break sooner or later.

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

This sounds very appealing - no installation costs, just plug and play using a standard wall socket. But presumably you’re going to have more conversion losses than with a DC-coupled battery. Thoughts?

Lot of people dunking on this, but it's good to see Mark Zuckerberg getting back to the thing that first made him passionate about coding: rating girls online.
