Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Elon wanted to expose foreign actors, so X shipped location tags.
The result? "Native American Soul" is in Bangladesh and pro-American MAGA patriots were actually Nigerian & Indian. They rolled it back instantly. It is wildly amusing that nobody validated the dataset before hitting the ship button

No #parkrun as travelling. My autumn holiday an informal run camp the last few years. By Apple Health I’ve snaffled 3 full points of VO2 max the last 3 weeks. Sceptical about the absolute number but hopefully trend is meaningful. Z2 5K on each day shown and today’s was 3 minutes quicker for lower HR

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.
