I need to think of something that "I reckon" to write about that doesn't need a lot of evidence or argumentation, just a fun or interesting opinion I hold. If anything comes to mind, let me know!
This stuff is absolutely magic. Based on actual, real-world impact so far, it's the product of the decade.

It seems that there's a lot more to the Dundee incident than was in the Daily Mail story I tweeted about it, which now sounds quite incomplete or worse. news.stv.tv/north/man-and-…
new from me for @WorksInProgMag: how France achieved the world’s fastest nuclear buildout I tell the story of how France defied the global backlash against nuclear power by aligning local incentives, embracing standardisation and abandoning a failed domestic design. 🧵
- A woman raped to death recovering from a stroke on an NHS ward - Expected to make full recovery - Nobody reported or noticed any of the massive blood loss in her bed after the rape (for 48 hours) - She died from blood loss - All the evidence destroyed bbc.com/news/articles/…
Really good long read from @chalmermagne on France's nuclear miracle, and what we can learn from it - 'liberte, egalite, radioactivite...' worksinprogress.co/issue/liberte-…
Tough but fair, @s8mb.
NEW at WORKS IN PROGRESS ☢️⚡️🔋 France built forty nuclear reactors in ten years across the 1970s and 1980s, for a fraction of today's prices. For the first time in English, we tell the story of how they did it — and what the rest of the world needs to learn to do the same.

Lack of consultation doesn’t mean nuclear was inflicted on the public. Thanks to France’s business tax regime, communities that hosted reactors became rich overnight and were dubbed as mini-emirates. Mayors could build new sports facilities, hand out TV subscriptions, host…
Absolutely risible stuff on housing in the FT. This kind of argument only makes sense if people don't care if they live in London versus rural Co. Durham. ft.com/content/d9050d…
Very good: a quick way to email your MP about this. Took me about 5 seconds. I think most MPs and the govt don't actually realise this is happening, or how disastrous it would be, and some emails making them aware could stop it. actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QEdC…

Matthew Pennycook has done such a brilliant job as Housing Minister (just ask the big housebuilders, or Vicky Spratt) I think he deserves a promotion. I'd say he could be given a job that has nothing to do with housing at all, after a job so well done!
What kind of sicko would enjoy that? (Don't forget, IMF: eliminating VAT exemptions on things like children's clothes and home heating would raise an extra £180 billion!)

I enjoyed listening to this as I made dinner (pasta e fagioli) earlier. Amazed by how fast enzymes work, and I was also interested to discover that a protein involved with photosynthesis, RuBisCO, is so abundant that there is 5kg of it for every human being on earth!

NEW EPISODE of HARD DRUGS! “5 hours is too long!” some of you said after our first episode. So our second episode is 20 minutes 🤭 We explore the world of proteins: how proteins fold into complex shapes, why complexity matters, how crowded and dynamic a cell really is. This…
