Do we think that every other senior UK govt figure, including in previous govt did actually pass security vetting, or was it not unusual to forgive minor failings

I think social media should be made to show alongside every money earning post how much the person has been earning. Giving us an answer to "are they in it for the money?"

I'm very grateful to environmental scientist Sam Matey-Coste showing me these Our World In Data charts when we had a chat recently. (sammatey.substack.com/p/a-conversa...) Yes, so much is a worrying, enraging mess right now. But the bigger picture is a little more reassuring.

Charts from Our World In Data showing positive progress over the last 2 centuries in: poverty rates, basic education, literacy, democracy, vaccination and child mortality.

It's 45 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime.
From the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978.
While they were waiting at a bus stop in Clermiston, Mr and Mrs Daniel Thirsty were threatened by Mr Robert Clear. 'He demanded that I give him my wifes purse,
said Mr Thirsty. 'Telling him that the purse was in her basket, I bent down, put my hands up her skirt, detached her artificial leg and hit him over the head with it. It was not my intention to do anything more than frighten him oft, but unhappily for us all, he died?

Watching the tennis at Queens. There is a robotic announcement now of "out". 1 Is it Sue Barker? 2 It's robotic. Maybe they can vary it somewhat, ask spectators to record it when they arrive or at least have a different one for each sideline, baseline etc 3 Will Wimbledon be the same?

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

Well, there’s a story.

When Nazi Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, the Hungarian chemist George de Hevesy dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of Max von Laue and James Franck in aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from stealing them. He placed the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid. The Nobel Society then recast the Nobel Prizes using the original gold.
