I like to say “I have exercise-induced rhinitis. That means my nose runs when I do”

Oh, this looks good! Thanks

It’s a very American style thing. UK English media don’t do this, and it always feels strange when I see it in US media

Thing is, a lot of these aren’t that bad? Making an oxygen mask feels really different to just setting fire to the fossil fuel to shift a 3-ton vanity pickup truck half a mile to Starbucks. And lots of the others can readily be replaced. Clothes, for example: rayon from bamboo can replace a lot of polyester and nylon

Every metric? What about the poor shareholders in oil companies? Have you no empathy for them at all, you monster?

A small local one. The big ones do great work, of course, but another £1000 doesn’t change things much for them, whereas £1000 would make a tangible difference for a small charity

Oh my god can we please stop describing every piece of software as AI

There’s a danger this headline is misleading. James Parkinson identified the disease over 200 years ago, so whatever it is can clearly happen without pesticides. Perhaps they make it more prevalent? But that’s very different from saying that a recent invention makes a very old disease “man’made”

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of with that final sentence

I have a OnePlus Pad 2 and it’s a brilliant tablet. The stylus is good and I use it with Obsidian and Excalidrae for notes

There’s probably a case for saying it doesn’t need specifically to be the PM. In principle Starmer could crack on with things behind closed doors as long as there’s somebody sharp, likeable and media-savvy to counter Farage every day. I guess the risk is you’d have to be a very self-confident PM, unafraid of leadership challenge, to go for that
