With very many thanks to @revdrjohn.bsky.social I'm happy to report the #NavalHistory feed is back in commission - John will be leading the charge on stomping out AI slop, removing dubiously tagged posts and adding naval history content found elsewhere on BlueSky. (1/2)

So long story short: when trying to save aviation fuel (just like when trying to reduce CO2 emissions) focusing on short-haul might seem like a good idea, but will accomplish *very little*

As we show in our 2022 study, flights under 500km account for about 28% of flights departing from Europe and 20% of seats, but for *just 6% of fuel burnt!*

It isn't a bad mentality, once you get used to it.
Probably why their average age is higher than most 🤣

Very much not a definitive list
According to Robbins, Mandelson's vetting issues didn't relate to Epstein. But the PM said in Sept 26 that Mandelson hadn't told the truth about his rels with Epstein, which was why he sacked him. So that suggests the vetters didn't know the full details of Mandelson's Epstein relationship.
