Energy regulator ‘ignored’ High Court ruling that could boost powers to restrict data centres
The energy regulator claimed its hands were tied in relation to controlling greenhouse gas emissions from data centres – despite a High Court ruling just days earlier that indicated otherwise.

On June 8-9, Italy will hold a referendum, including one question on reducing naturalisation residency from 10 to 5 years.

With @maartenpvink.bsky.social & @yajnagovind.bsky.social we suggest that this would align Italy’s citizenship laws with much of Europe.

We're replacing BBC Sounds outside the UK and bringing you BBC.com, a seamless way to read, watch, and listen - all in one place.

But NO MUSIC, no more Radio 3 for classical, jazz etc. (Night Tracks), Radio 1Xtra... or occasionally Radio 6.

BBC Sounds has been my BFF for years

Beautiful article here by @sadhbhoneill.bsky.social & a great exercise. Find the old native trees in your environment, notice & appreciate them.

'Here is a challenge: where is the oldest, native tree closest to you? How does it make you feel to stand beside it?'

A great thread by @maartenpvink.bsky.social on the realities of territorial birthright citizenship provisions globally. Anyone who wants to dig deeper may also find useful my annotated bibliography on birthright citizenship – covering comparative, historical and theoretical dimensions.

I give a monthly donation to Wikipedia. One of the few things left on the internet not ruined by Musk, or, as far as I know, polluted by AI.

When tech bros talk about ‘existential risk’ they are themselves the hazard, of course.
If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.
