New post from me, for UK folks only, on how you need to start preparing for Apple to switch off Advanced Data Protection and the end-to-end encryption of the data you store on it. Like I said, UK only. #SunlitUplands

🌟 New article on @theconversation.com today

My thoughts on why we should stop saying "the Autism spectrum" and just use "Autism"

theconversation.com/why-its-time...
Why it’s time to rethink the notion of an autism ‘spectrum’
The idea of autism as a single spectrum has shaped thinking for decades. But many autistic people and researchers now argue the metaphor is misleading.

I assume this is obvious, but I’ll say it anyway:

The advantage of proscribing a non-existent organisation is that no one can prove they don’t belong to it.

Seizing the $300 billion in Russian assets immobilized in the West and allocating them to Ukraine would send a strong signal that there is little light at the end of the tunnel for Russia's economy.
The ‘Fortress Russia’ economy has adapted well to pressure. But stagflation presents an opportunity for the West
Now could be the time to ratchet up sanctions pressure on Putin and change Moscow’s risk analysis of prolonging the war.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an “incursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t “condemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t “call on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.

Other outlets chase what’s “already trending,” mistaking algorithmic amplification for genuine public concern. This creates a feedback loop: outrage drives coverage, coverage drives politics, politics produces more outrage.

Don’t just summon Russia’s envoys. Close their embassies in the EU and UK and send their “diplomats” back to Moscow. That would be an appropriate response to their murdering civilians and bombing the British Council and EU delegation offices last night.

Just one chart from the @metoffice.gov.uk State of the UK climate report published today. We get used to focusing on the record highs and how 35C has gone from being rare to routine. But just look at all those summers which never got to 30C even in my lifetime. It’s a different UK now.
