This plan by Waterloo to expropriate farmland for some mystery industrial project with no public oversight absolutely stinks. The information requests seem reasonable. What is the region trying to hide?

New light on Britain's long migration history: “This suggests...a...history of very effective land management in Orkney, an increased focus on fishing, which along with evidence for good Pictish-Viking relations in the Orcadian Islands, likely contributed to a much healthier and vibrant community."

Project 2025 is terrifying. The people behind it are also weird. Meet John McEntee, who ran personnel for Trump's White House.
He also runs a shady "dating" app for lonely MAGA men.
The marketing for the app is more pathetic than you're imagining.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

Earth's avg temp topped 1.5°C over the last 12 months. Does that mean we've passed the Paris goal? NO. The global avg must be above 1.5°C for over a decade for that to happen. So what DOES it mean? 1) we're that much closer, and 2) this (extreme) year will be merely an average year at 1.5C.
