Indeed.

I’ll still enjoy my petrol cars though…

CATL claims 6-minute charge and 1,500km range for new electric vehicle batteries Chinese group also slashes charging time in race against BYD for electric vehicle battery supremacy

Even performance half that good is enough to end combustion engines outside of hobbyist circles if they can make it competitively priced with existing EVs.

The Green lead over Labour… 🤯

NEW ITV Wales YouGov MRP has Plaid and Reform neck and neck in Senedd vote intention

Impossible to say who would be largest party in terms of seats but neither would be close to majority

Would almost certainly result in Plaid led government as they have more potential allies in the Senedd 🧵👇

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Oh yes very useful. Too much happening for me to stay on top of, and country profiles are so useful.

‘Shaping for excellence’

Britain quit as a major developer of European SLVs just as it all started working out…

Excellent work.

Oh dear.

I've lost track - seems the process is a such a mess of fudge which means nobody can be pinned for any breach of rules or process, and ultimately caused by bad political decision-making in No 10.

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

The first Earth Day in 1970 had many inspirations – Rachel Carson’s compelling Silent Spring, antiwar student movements across the US, and the devastation of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill – but one photo is often credited with the emergence of a new global environmental consciousness in the late 1960s. Earthrise was snapped by astronaut Bill Anders as the Apollo 8 spacecraft orbited the moon, and it depicts a blue and white planet floating in the blackness of space. While it highlights earth’s vulnerability to environmental destruction, the picture also showed us a different vision of ourselves. As Apollo 8 commander Frank Borman reflected, “We were the first humans to see the world in its majestic totality… this must be what God sees.” In this Earth Day keynote, Joanne Yao explores the abstracted view of earth from above as an integrated whole and the politics of a whole humanity that this God-like view engendered. From this position, the 1968 moment becomes the culmination of a longer quest to know the earth in its entirety through scientific exploration into the unknown, which was often entangled with histories of colonialism and racialized and gendered exclusions. The keynote will explore the utopian imaginaries this view of earth inspired in how humans could rise above parochial interests to unite as one against the cold nothingness of space, but it also traces the silences and erasures that enabled what Donna Haraway calls the “god trick of seeing everything from nowhere.”

I can see a new name for Sain Ffagan if Reform forms the next Welsh Government:

The Nigel Farage Museum of Welsh Life

Reform to tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says Election pledges say Reform would ask museums to present history chronologically.

🙄

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nobody who followed the turn toward “patriotic startup capital” for the past 5 years is surprised about THAT manifesto. It’s just the summary of key talking points swirling around in the new defence tech space. But please know that it forms part of the strategic capture of our collective attention.

Really sorry to read this.

19 days until the Senedd Election, 40 days since fieldwork last began on a Senedd Poll...

Poor cat. All the good loafing spots are taken.

Russian economy is faltering despite oil windfall, Sweden warns Stockholm’s military intelligence head says Moscow is manipulating data to make its economy look better

Exclusive: Sweden has intelligence indicating Russia's systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy has withstood the strain of its war spending & western sanctions, Thomas Nilsson, head of Sweden Military Intelligence, told me & @maxseddon.bsky.social

Cool mission patch

Do the terabyte twist!

Nooooooo!

I like how the barcode label is still attached

Where’s Reform? The 2026 Senedd election campaign so far Richard Wyn Jones I hate to have to admit it, but devolved election campaigns tend to be rather dull affairs. I’m not even convinced that they make much of a difference either. The overwhelming majori...

Obviously, I might end up looking very stupid! But here goes anyway... From me on the Senedd election campaign so far.
