Educator, instructor, physicist, engineer, parent. Interested in family, country walks, good books. Not interested in 'gritty' TV shows, as I was born in gritty times, and I've seen enough.

I remember the 1980s, and Sinclair ZX81s before they became museum pieces.

My sister died of pancreatic cancer in her forties, leaving three kids without their mother. I really, really hope this result holds up, and that the anti-science insanity in the US doesn't stop it from moving forward. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/pancreatic-cancer-mrna-vaccine-shows-lasting-results-early-trial-rcna331969

Sussex seabed shows recovery five years after trawling ban. Five years after bottom trawling was banned across more than 300 km² of seabed off southern England, early signs of ecosystem recovery are emerging. Mussel beds are re-establishing, fish populations are increasing, and conditions are improving for kelp forests that had declined by 96%. Oceanographic

So, again, these age verification laws aren't about children.

They aren't about protecting children.

They aren't about children on social media.

They are about surveillance, control, and abuse.

If we wanted to make social media safer for children, we would pass legislation that actually addressed the way commercial social media is harmful to everyone: limiting notification frequency, mandating interop and data export-ability, preventing surveillance driven advertising models, mandating algorithmic transparency, and enforcing anti-trust against companies like Meta who buy up all their competitors and unify them.

Imagine getting the brief to write some copy on a fucking bin bag and then smashing it out of the park like this. Sensational effort.

This map of land use (and the origin of food imports) while intended to give a picture of the UK's food system is also of more general interest for debates about land-use (and access) in the UK... most especially what is suggests is that the UK remains a country dominated by farmland, whatever our perceptions are.

How this then refracts into debates about land for housing and access rights for those seeking rural pursuits is another matter.
