Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

RIP, Mark Norell. As somebody who was enthusiastically interested in dinosaurs, particularly in my childhood, I read his breakthrough insights with great interest in the 1990s. The emergence of the knowledge that birds were dinosaur descendants was a great lesson for me about how science advances.

I think about this a lot when I think about the mess that we’re in.
It's really hard to ignore that America has twice shown that it prefers a rapist to a woman.

The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

How about instead of every country having their own nuclear weapon - which seems to be causing all sorts of trouble - we all take turns looking after a single bomb, like the school hamster?
