A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Any experts : Would you worry if someone started new anti-depressants and seemed worse at first? Or is that normal?

"Yeah, here's the link to an N244. If you struggle, I can help for £50."
Why has no Bank of Dave type come along to do that?
They decimated legal aid, there must be a gap in the market.

I have no legal training, but masses of tribunal knowledge.
It's CRIMINAL how much solicitors charge for filling in a basic form u can do yourself or asking for info from courts etc. THEN they don't even care about your case.
Made me want to pass a law degree just to undercut them & do it right.

I was allowed a window of time in which I didn't have to make money my chief concern.
I've spent that time basically fighting v bad guys in court/tribunal for ppl who couldn't do it themselves.
Weird. Case after case, just fell in my lap and I couldn't say no.
Just from the gift of time.

This is where our global utopia crashes into laser-guided
reality
Britons will all feel the impact of the war with Iran, not just those who have moved to Dubai expecting peace and security

n 2013, when I was at university, I used to Facebook-_ message friends who were lounging by private pools in
Tehran and Tel Aviv while studying abroad. Back home
it had become something of a status symbol to teach yourself Russian, largely because the nightlife in Moscow was so good: dark, sexy and glamorous. In the little English pubs we frequented, friends would airily report on what was happening on the Russian social media site VK, or China's WeChat. Life was good, goods were cheap and the world belonged to us.
I feel rather uncomfortable thinking of it now. There's something a bit jazz age about the whole thing: gilded youth toasting their own cosmopolitanism and sophistication while the world trundled quietly towards chaos. There were signs, obviously. In 2014 Russia invaded the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine. But, still, the nightlife in Moscow was fantastic.

Whose global Utopia? The news that the party is over and things are going to get especially miserable is IMO going to come as a major surprise for millions of people who did not get invites to the festivities in the first place.

If you really want your mind blown, watch all of the Magic Roundabout from the start.
I watched some one night in hospital after they'd given me opiates and was convinced it was a subversive, revolutionary opus.

Coincidence eh?
My specialist hospital ward only has 18 beds. A while ago, I found out a good friend on the Other Place went to the same Drs and the same ward if admitted! The odds must have been 3 million to one or something ridiculous.

It was my competition piece in electric organ competitions. (Yamaha Electone) I had every sound set and beat programmed in so I could just tap a button for each new section, lol.
As you say, a magical, climactic song.

You too

Can we have our police back please? …if they’d arrested him when we first reported it, he might have avoided the machete.

Sorry, the only experts on war are the people who profit from them. The rest of us have enough to fix at home.

Me too! And it was all whimsical, he looked so happy.
I think they dumped him a few weeks later, but at least he was probably too drunk to care.
