Just watched the last of The Hack. I wasn’t sure it was worth opening up Leveson 2. But I do now. Murdoch won’t be here much longer. He needs to feel the full justice of the law.They all should. If there was one plague we could get rid of it’s the Murdochs.

By 2050, the UK is predicted to be short an estimated 4-5 billion litres of water a day. Clearly, Thames Water's desalination plant hasn't proven an efficient way of making us water secure. But which approaches might work?

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

this is basically just a bunch of interesting things that've happened with synthetic fuel (the stocks are down ...and also up?) and I figured I might as well write about

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

A lovely day spent mostly without clothes at @naturistfoundation.org, for the twice-yearly #BH5K. Weather not as good as last year, but enough breaks in that clouds and rain to mostly be outside. Reasonably pleased with my time this year, and got in a cheeky game of cricket-rounders at the end.
