Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Cannot believe I’ve had no call back from Dragon’s Den for my innovative Hedgehog Assistive Brick System (HABS). Cheap, weatherproof, versatile, simple to install and use. Eight of 10 hedgehogs prefer HABS. 🦔

I had no idea it still existed. Legend has it that it was developed as an instant coffee for the Gordon Highlanders. Presumably, to make them angry and more aggressive. Tastes vile.
