This is how you do it.

Trump’s spiteful defamation suit against the Pulitzer Prize Board may backfire, as the latter is now demanding Trump’s psychological records, prescription medication records, and tax returns in the discovery process.

Experts warn that lithium extraction in places like Chile’s Atacama Desert has caused an “irreversible” loss of water, damaged flora and hit flamingo populations. They argue Scotland must “examine the entire supply chain” behind its energy transition

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.

The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.

Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Worried that Motability is paying for people who don't need them to have luxury cars?

These swindlers insist on a helicopter, motorcycle outriders, and a fleet of armoured high-end motors.

A huge fireball exploded at a waste facility in an Australian suburb in western Sydney, sending flames 100 metres into the sky. Authorities are investigating the fire’s cause, but say a chemical tank exploded in the blaze, sending concrete debris flying and causing damage to nearby buildings.

The UK Labour Party came to power promising to cut energy bills — in part by pumping heat into drafty homes.

But flaws in a government-approved scheme to boost home insulation have now put that goal at risk.

The British government says it will force down bills and emissions by insulating millions of cold, drafty homes. That plan is unraveling.

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.

But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.
