I would vote for a Logan’s Run law in Seattle, even if the age cutoff took me along with these weirdos.

It seems San Francisco's Anchor Brewing is planning to brew something again.

San Francisco tipster sent me photos of some stirring at Anchor Brewing Co. last last week, where crews appear to be preparing it for reopening after sitting idle for almost two years since Chobani billionaire Hamdi Ulukaya scooped it up from Sapporo-induced insolvency.

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

Europe's gas problem is more solvable than the debate suggests. 94% of EU gas demand sits in buildings, industry & power. In all three, electric alternatives are already commercially competitive. Barrier is deployment, not invention. More Sunday - sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com/

If journalists were doing their job properly, it would simply not be possible for the public to be labouring under this degree of ignorance when it comes to immigration. inews.co.uk/opinion/immi...

The "batteries are just as bad as fossil fuels" stuff is so fucking stupid, so easy to refute with just a minute or two of rational thought, so *obviously* a piece of propaganda, that I just have no sympathy at all for people who fall for it. Gonna block everyone who drags it into my feed.

Let those among us who have not accidentally followed a fascist leader on Facebook in full on fascist gear... who's like the most obvious fascist... doing really fascist stuff... cast the first stone. #Reform

The glee with which the transphobic lobby is celebrating this says everything. Nasty, spiteful, and hateful. Shame on anyone bullying this most bullied of communities. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Absolute state of the Oxford Union for indulging and encouraging these disgusting people. How is this not a major story?

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Yet there you are, outside.

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

#Labour being c*nts to the sick and disabled again, is it.

Never forget, Cameron's Tories brought Brexit because Farage's UKIP was taking a bite out of Tory polling. Without a care, Cameron & Cabinet bet the nation for Tory Party benefit; to the absolute disastrous detriment of the nation.

People on here are very invested in the idea there’s something fake about Burnham’s popularity and like, will he still poll at +9 after 3 years as PM. Probably not! Will he poll better than the alternatives who *start* at -26? My assumption is yes! He’s not glup shitto, people know who he is

If what they are doing is strengthening sanctions and not lifting them, then why let the news be about lifting them? Why are they having to explain what they really mean after news storm? Again?

Though good to know that we’ll be keeping the price of Ukrainian blood at under £2 a litre.

Here is Nigel Farage in 2018 responding to listener Otto English. How did that billion pound bonanza materialise mate? youtu.be/-oJsgdxiKZM?...

The price of fish has gone up in no small part because of Brexit. We import the fish we eat and export the fish we catch here. Extra costs around logistics. Some of us did say this would happen but it's not getting mentioned at all in articles like this. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I used to warn all who would listen that #BrexitReality would leave fish and seafood, which don't respect national boundaries, with more #FreedomOfMovement than the sodding fishermen. They preferred the lies. #WelcomeToTheBrexit everybody. #WeTriedToWarnYou

This is very much the mood of the country right now, bar those frothing lunatics who seem to want Farage's Mussolini-lite style of government. It is mad that "eh, what the hell" is by far the better choice though.

Europe is swapping one gas dependency for another. Russian pipeline gas: out by 2028. US LNG: 5 bcm in 2019 → ~115 bcm by 2030, ~80% of EU imports. The vulnerability just moved onto tankers. But what if the crisis worsens? Long-read with our latest research on this Sunday: janrosenow.substack.com

Some leaders make themselves unpopular in pursuit of something. Starmer made himself unpopular in pursuit of nothing.

A shame you lads have never had the curiosity to actually ask why, eh? And then hold government to account accordingly? Trebles all round for the Lazy News Content Machine though!

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

The idea is being duplicated in various forms in Finland. The idea is that you can heat sand safely to much higher temperature than water and it's less corrosive than for example molten salts. But please look up Pornainen in a satellite picture or Street View 😁

It was kind of Robert Jenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense.

Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

I don’t understand why people who lived through what black Wednesday did to John Major or what the GFC did to Gordon Brown are now affronted by the idea a bad economy damages a government even if the government wasn’t totally responsible

My colleagues went to the march last year, and the level of cheerful antisemitism they reported was staggering. Proper “it’s all a Jewish conspiracy to let all the Muslims in and replace the whites” stuff. The people who go don’t care about Jews. And no, they don’t think Jews are white either

Also this attitude of “well this won’t change anyone’s mind so best not to say anything” is exactly what people on the liberal left have been doing for the last decade, and guess what? It’s resulted in the mainstreaming of the far right

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

A lot of the “Big Science!” defenses are actually unintentional explanations for the replicability and commercialization crises in academic science. It doesn’t work, but it looks good in print, and that discrepancy does not come to light until someone actually tries to apply the research.

Maybe I should retract/temper my anti-Physics jibe; a quick check of names in that screenshot show that the one who says "every major PI will be banned within a few years" is a junior researcher in AI/ML. This now sounds like Young Folk Butthurt When People On Bus Ask Them To Use Headphones

Crikey, this is significant. All about Orban's regime showering money on populism abroad including the UK. David Frost mentioned as an alleged recipient, plus Unherd and The Spectator. So much for pushing back against foreign interference. H/t @guystall.bsky.social

Madam I guarantee you will be within 20ft of a nonce throughout the entire march

We dont “receive and process information” from the environment. We experience and perceive the world because the way we function is through the transformation and exchange of physical material with the environment, an ability completely out of scope for computers and MATH.

My pitch for Al Carns Who? 1. He's unknown. Should be a negative. It isn't. His backstory is astonishing. Council house kid from the NE, ended up a full colonel in the special forces, broke a record for claiming Everest, speaks fluent "normal," blunt, practical, earnest. And clean.

My Tuesday night gift to you: do a search on TripAdvisor for the top restaurants in Pyongyang. The results are a hoot.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha (Analysts at JP Morgan get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to write this bullshit.)

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

They're not going to stop with trans. They've realized that they can get away with just about anything if they claim to be protecting "the children." If they roll back gay marriage, they won't stop there either. There is no fucking accommodating these people, they must be defeated & marginalized.

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks

Google doesn't even bother to explain why it's showing me this or where it came from. How are normal people supposed to navigate the internet reliably anymore? First the results sucked, then the summaries sucked, now it's just writing its own vibes-based internet of contextless personalized lies? 5/

At first this seemed like maybe it was pulling a summary from a blog that was maybe like the one I was looking for, so I looked for the sources. There are none. This is an entirely hallucinated blog post that Google generated in response to my search, as if I was asking it to write a blog for me. 4/

Reading @jasonkoebler.bsky.social's post reminded me of a blog I'd read a while back about how everything looks the same and no one is taking risks. I couldn't remember where I'd read it, so I tried googling it as a last resort (which is what google has bizarrely chosen to turn itself into). 2/
