Wise words from @garethdennis.uk and some stunning images out of Sydney.
People can and should have nice things.
If someone writes a report saying "we build transport that is too nice and that's why projects are expensive and that's why we don't build more of them" then not only should their analysis be discarded as junk but they should be pilloried.

Today is Sam Bankman-Fried's appeal. It barely matters. But last week his mother Barbara Fried published a lengthy argument for her son's innocence - it's at least inteteresting.
Like all SBF defenses, it shows a massive, wilful blind spot.

If any of the big publishers disappeared the others would just swallow and churn, so no loss. But imagine what the world of books would be without independent publishers? Doesn’t bear thinking about. Congratulations Kevin and Hetha, so glad you dared.
Twenty years ago Heth & I remortgaged our house to start a publishing company that would find great new stories others thought too risky to publish.
Our books have been short listed and won awards and two have been adapted into TV series.

One of the greatest industrial and medical scandals in recent history. Decades after being "banned", researchers believe asbestos still kills 20,000 people in the UK annually. (The global figure is at least 200,000).
