8 years ago, I tweeted side-by-side maps from NASA GISS showing global temperatures in 1976 and 2018 – both hot summers in the UK. It subsequently went viral and was printed in the Daily Mail! The 2026 version is stark. Two locally extreme summers separated by 50 years of global climate change.

Fridge died in 🇨🇦 so off to the appliance store. Salesguy “yes, these are both the same brand. The one on your right is made in China and the one on the left is from the U.S.” I gave him the look and then we laughed and laughed as we loaded the Chinese one up.

Truly a fitting punishment for Fraser Nelson. Compelled by his own inner demons to try, vainly, to use facts/evidence to argue with an openly racist Conservative MP, who was probably originally radicalised by Nelson's own Spectator.

Impressive chutzpah from JWS here: 4000 words on the spread of the "Great Replacement" theory in the UK without a single mention of his columnist/friend Douglas Murray, who wrote a whole book endorsing it...

Climate Denial Didn’t Disappear. It Moved From The Diagnosis To The Treatment
Why do leaders retreat as climate disasters worsen? Research on illness and denial explains why governments accept the diagnosis but reject the treatment science demands.

The truly stunning part of this story is that no one at Google was willing to say this was a bad idea *before* it got released into the world. The backlash was so quick and so intense because the inevitable bad outcomes were SO obvious.

US Rice Thanks to US companies occasionally spraying a totally safe arsenic based pesticide on their rice paddies, somewhat inexplicably, the European Union decided to put US rice on its watchlist, requiring it to be tested for arsenic before being sold to Europeans.

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime & every US oligarch is to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products. 🧵 by @daractenus.bsky.social

He’s been getting quite heavily into mindfulness lately. It’s not that I have a problem with it. I just wish he would stop banging on about it all the time
Our cat Charles, meditating in the garden, in between the breaks he takes to talk at us in a frantic, possibly coked-up sort of way about his goals for his new £2000 per month online life coaching courses and the manifesting he's been doing as part of his general mission to fully unlock his spiritual potential in 2026.
