Not a lot of technical details on this story, but it feels like this is the kind of problem satellites deal with: the Single Event Upset (SEU) where bits in memory (or in a CPU register) can get flipped, causing all kinds of failures.

Andrew Milne is clearly very disturbed. If he pitched up to my house suggesting I might be his sex slave and live in his garage I would do all I could to bring about his downfall
And the SRA appear toothless in the face of this ☹️

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.

The Israeli army is committing war crimes on a regular basis from this sort of killing to the routine torture of captives, looting homes, bombing schools & hospitals. Added to the 'settlers' beating up Palestinians & stealing their homes, land & farms, it is turning Israel into a Pariah state.

Less than half of the population are Christian, and presumably an even lower proportion of younger people.

In France, a 10-year policy cut antibiotic use in animals by 88% (fluoroquinolones) and 94% (3GC-4GC). Resistance in E. coli dropped significantly within 1-2 years post-policy. 📉🐾##idsky
Evaluating the impact of a 10 year reduction in critically important antibiotic use on the occurrence of antibiotic resistance in E. coli from cattle, dogs and cats in France
AbstractObjectivesIn France, a 10 year national policy to reduce antibiotic use (ABU) in animals led, respectively, to an 88% and 94% decrease in animal exposure to fluoroquinolones and third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins (3GC-4GC) between 2011 and 2021.MethodsBuilding on national surveillance data, this study evaluated the impact of this national policy on reducing the occurrence of resistance to fluoroquinolones and 3GC-4GC in clinical Escherichia coli from young cattle and dogs and cats in France. The effect of homologous and heterologous use of antibiotics was explored using multivariate regression modelling. In addition, the time lag between implementation of national policies and subsequent reduction in antibiotic resistance (ABR) was estimated using segmented regression analysis.ResultsStatistical analysis of available ABU and ABR surveillance data demonstrated a significant and sustainable impact on the occurrence of resistance to fluoroquinolones in clinical E. coli (in cattle and in dogs and cats), and to a lesser extent to 3GC-4GC (in cattle). The effects were fast and observed within 1 (in cattle) or 2 years (in dogs and cats) after the implementation of the 2014 national policy targeting specifically the animals’ exposure to 3GC-4GC and fluoroquinolones.ConclusionsThe French 10 year national policy had a successful impact on the occurrence of resistance to fluoroquinolones and 3GC-4GC in clinical E. coli. A potential shift in ABU from the use of fluoroquinolones and 3GC-4GC to other antibiotic classes, such as trimethoprim/sulfonamides (since 2012), and penicillins and tetracyclines (since 2016), was also observed.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Not a spy novel: Reform UK's former Welsh Leader has been sentenced to 10 years jail time for Russian bribes. Nathan Gill betrayed Britain to support a foreign power. Nothing patriotic here. Farage must assure the British public that such pro-Russian shills are being rooted out of his current party.
November 22, 2025 at 4:06 PM
It's quite a remarkable coincidence that Nigel Farage spent years working for Russia Today (RT) and socialising with prominent Russian and other wealthy individuals also linked with Russia. 🧐
November 21, 2025 at 3:56 PM
Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
