Rachel Reeves has been accused of misleading the public by exaggerating the fragile state of the public finances in the run-up to this week’s Budget, to justify tax rises for higher welfare spending.

Kudos to the #CornellSun for highlighting in the title of their expose on #RogerPielkeJr the fact that he's neither a scientist nor an academic, but a paid attack dog for a right-leaning, climate-denying, Koch Brothers-funded think tank. Whatever credibility he might have once had is in tatters.

29 international COP climate talks have failed to deliver.
What's needed now is leadership. One major nation to honestly level with the public - then launch a wartime scale emergency program to electrify its economy, cutting emissions and making people better off.

I’m sure Interstellar is a brilliant film, but I only lasted 15 minutes before switching off, I couldn’t understand a word the main character was saying through his mumbled strong accent, and I refuse to watch subtitles for an English-language movie

This phenomenon is well described by Colson Whitehead in his brilliant book “Harlem Shuffle”, as the protagonist Ray Carney engages with ‘dorvay’
For those whose sleep is negatively impacted by the seasonal changes of the clock - might biphasic sleeping be of any assistance? @drpam outlines evidence that suggests this might be a more natural way to sleep.
