Always simply ask "What would Putin have us do?" and you'll have your answer:

If it's a total ban they're after and kids can't even take phones to school then I'd say that was completely irresponsible.

When I was a kid we had payphones - which we used to call our parents in an emergency. No such network exists any more and nobody seems to acknowledge it.

Commonwealth Fund rankings of developed healthcare systems in the early 2010s

Not so long ago -- hard though it is to remember -- it was considered the best healthcare system in the developed world.

We cannot afford to let it be destroyed.

There's definitely some truth to this. I think it's important to realise just how deeply strange Donald Trump is. Almost none of us have met anyone as narcissistic. Read any account of him as a teen or young man and it's clear that basic concepts of true/false and self/external are extremely shaky.

OK I'd really like to know the story here

The EU pump €2Bn a year into Irish agriculture, 80% of which is direct payments to farmers, a lot of which goes to hiring contractors like this buck.

Ok on a serious note, it cannot be exaggerated how bad formalized Iranian control of the Strait is for the world. The entire global economy rests on an American guarantee of free commercial shipping. That guarantee is gone. We don’t know exactly what will happen but none of it will be good.

Switzerland Made It Happen In a world-first, Swiss scientists at ETH Zurich have developed synthetic jet fuel using only sunlight, CO₂, and water — and it works with today’s aircraft without any modifications. How it works: Solar energy powers a high-temperature reactor The system splits CO₂ and H₂O into syngas Syngas is converted into clean jet fuel Why it matters: This synthetic fuel creates a carbon-neutral aviation cycle, offering a game-changing solution for one of the hardest industries to decarbonize. No new infrastructure needed. No aircraft redesign. Just clean innovation in action. This isn’t a lab concept. It’s already being produced in a working pilot plant in Zurich. hashtag#SolarJetFuel hashtag#SwissInnovation hashtag#RMScienceTechInvest

Ramesh Maharana • 2nd Powering Decarbonization Through Materials, Manufacturing & Tech Strategy 22h Truly groundbreaking! ETH Zurich's solar-to-jet fuel pilot is a bold step toward decarbonizing aviation—one of the toughest sectors to abate. Using only sunlight, CO₂, and water to generate syngas and convert it into drop-in jet fuel is a brilliant closed-loop, carbon-neutral concept. No need for aircraft or infrastructure modifications makes this especially attractive. However, while the science is proven, scaling remains the challenge. The solar reactor requires very high temperatures (~1500°C) and consistent solar flux, which limits deployment geography. Current yields are low, and costs are significantly higher than fossil-based or even bio-based jet fuels. Still, as a proof of concept, this project sets a gold standard. It could guide future investments into solar thermochemistry, synthetic fuels and air capture technologies. The journey from pilot to production will need massive policy, capital and technological support. Let’s celebrate this leap—and prepare for the long runway ahead. hashtag#AviationFuel hashtag#SolarJetFuel hashtag#SustainableAviation hashtag#CleanTech hashtag#CarbonNeutralFuture Like like 1 Reply 1 reply 1 Comment on Ramesh Maharana’s comment View Revaz M.’s graphic link Revaz M.

What is the point of any of this

I've said it before, but it's really weird how every party is behaving like the platonic ideal of a political career is the Boris Johnson premiership: come to power on the back of impossible promises, have a miserable 30 months in office and eventually get forced out in disgrace

The Thames Water creditors are closing in on a deal - urge your MP to stop them An action to write to MPs urging them to reject the Thames Water creditors' attempts to takeover the utility, signing off on pollution till 2030

🚨Stop the Thames Water creditors 🚨

The creditors are closing in on a deal

They want to dodge fines and dump sewage freely

This deal would reward Thames Water's abysmal failure, setting a tragic new low for every single water company

We've got to stop them. Email your MP now.

Best summary I've seen so far. Such incompetence - like an administration of idiotic 14yo boys.
