"The Devil Wears Prada 2" feels more like a product than a movie The massive marketing campaign for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is degrading the film's earnest, chic legacy.

Getting very Zoolander 2 vibes about the Devil Wears Prada sequel.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

The wrong question is dominating the energy crisis debate.

Every interview starts the same: where do we find replacement fossil fuels and what happens to prices?

In this BBC interview I push back.

This is the moment to talk about escaping fossil fuel dependence - not the daily market noise.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Solar saved Europe €3bn in March. Which country is leading the race? A new analysis found that Europe’s solar capabilities could save the continent €67.5 billion by the end of the year if gas prices remain high.

Money saved but also CO2 NOT pumped into the atmosphere, because even though it's barely mentioned in these discussions, there's STILL A FUCKING CLIMATE CRISIS.

OOPS! GB News owner Paul Marshall tried to rebut Christian leaders, who criticised his channel's dodgy climate coverage…but in the process he made 25 dodgy claims of his own 🫠

Impressively, he packed the 25 dodgy claims into just 340 words 👏

Heartening scene on the train into work. A woman nearby looked upset. The woman sitting opposite her asked her what was wrong and offered her a hug. They got into a long conversation about how her friend had just died. Complete strangers but it was all kindness and warmth. London at its best.

UK to give homes ‘free energy’ instead of turning off wind turbines Europe’s outdated and under-invested energy grid means huge amounts of renewable energy are wasted every year.

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills.

Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion One minute, Dennis Biesma was playing with a chatbot; the next, he was convinced his sentient friend would make him a fortune. He’s just one of many people who lost control after an AI encounter

Amazing story about AI psychosis - well-adjusted people losing their minds, marriages, money, etc because of delusional relationships with AI chatbots. It could happen to anyone, and there's a pattern.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

Excellent article on AI and military operations from someone who really seems to know what they're talking about - taught me so much.
