lol @ "They" BBC !

'And on the Today Programme this morning we have a scientist, and, for balance, Nigel Lawson being given equal time to pretend he knows what he's talking about (because he gets paid mountains for doing so).'

PS: See also the BBC and economics of Brexit.

Gotta love Kentish Town. Pop to the shops and stumble on a gig...

Turn off the microphone! Vietnam Gas President boldly slams Kenya's poor leadership

Vietnam Gas President Doanh Chau has taken a rather bold swipe at African leadership - and especially Kenya, accusing them of lacking long-term vision and a serious execution culture that continues to stall the continent’s development.

A new ‘poem song’ with the fab Catenary Wires is out today: Every Song on the Radio Reminds Me of You.

We’ve even made an accompanying video, in which I do some very good walking around with a radio, plus bonus knob twiddling.

Wisteria flowers begin to appear as spring deepens, cascading from trellises erected in many Kyōto temples, shrines, and famously in the Toba Water Treatment Plant!

Happy 19th birthday to my bicycle. I take absolutely no care of you. I leave you out in the rain. I ram you through snow and mud and up and down kerbs. I make you drag stuff too heavy for you. I rarely remember to feed you with oil and air. I fling you onto trains and into hedges and into any space you fit, or don’t. And yet you always work, cost little to maintain and nothing to run. And you give me easy exercise. And I will never be too old not to think Wheeee! as I freewheel you downhill.

We just need to turn the negative productivity of research scientists at NASA and forner auditors at the IRS that DOGE fired to gainfully making shoes in Nike factories reshored from Vietnam.

This is the groundbreaking economic thinking of communist purges from Mao to Pol Pot with a sprinkle of American Exceptionalism.

How are international conferences dealing with the fact that some people are now afraid or unwilling to enter the US? Are they holding conferences elsewhere, encouraging remote participation, ignoring the issue, or what?

If you're helping run an international conference (like me), or even just going to one, I'd like to know what you're seeing.
