The headline is entirely accurate - but unlike the Times’s motivation, it should instead be read as a reason to put more time, resource and effort into Net Zero to smooth over the risks during the transition period. Just like every other major societal transition in human history.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Instant unfollow for anyone mindless enough to think this is entertaining.

You join me at Kronborg Castle, where I have been reminded of an identical message delivered to me by a Master of the Bench during my pupillage advocacy weekend several years ago.

The movie holds up. As does this great anecdote courtesy of Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum.

I’m in this one!

This is insane, entertaining, magnificent football.

Nightmare for a friend of mine in London. Please share.

Ramón Freiza Atelier with @benrowe.uk for a pre-stag dinner. Entirely deserving of its 2* status with several dishes easily hitting 3*. Top night. Selected highlights below. Review on my website to follow when I get a moment. Everyone else arrives later today for the main event. Vamos!

If you support the quite mad waspi campaign you aren’t a serious politician.

NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women “deserve” compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal

Not allowed to reply to your post (no idea why) but I’d recommend the Podkin One Ear series by Kieran Larwood. My very similar child loved them.

What does he read to himself? I am hoping a smart 9yo (with strong literacy) can get into reading longer books for pleasure, but I don’t know what she has bounced off Roald Dahl and not looking to give JKR any money

really hard to be a more dismaying world cup host than Qatar and yet so far the US absolutely smashing it

Wife wonders why I get up so early to take the dogs for a walk in the woods. I tell her I love the bird song. In truth, I want to be the dog walker who discovers a dead body; macabre I know but I love true crime.

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

Higher taxes that most people will pay? Or spending cuts that most people will feel? That's it. Pick one. If your answer is "government waste" or "tax the rich", then you're part of the problem. The strategy of taxing "other people" has run out of road.

Bit of a hint in the Raven station at @paultonspark.bsky.social about what’s coming next year. Drakon… Raven and… some kind of sea monster. 🤔

{HYPERVENTILATES} IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! @benrowe.uk and @tegabbidonvo.bsky.social absolutely SMASHED it. @lee-alder.bsky.social and @erikseguinte.com did audio WIZARDRY, @helenargh.bsky.social ensured we didn't stray, and @gentlemoth.bsky.social & @gemaydin.bsky.social assisted linguistically.

Moved two weeks ago from a town to a nearby village. We’re on a quiet road, with five other girls close to our daughter’s age. After school and at weekends they knock on each other’s doors, ride bikes, climb trees. I didn’t know this life existed any more - we have rediscovered something precious.

My son’s school - first 10 mins of every lesson today is quiet reading time. The final lesson will be everyone getting a chance to talk about a book they love - either their current book or one they’ve read before.

Do kids actually get to read books on World Book Day or is it just dressing up?

Scott Adams is just another example that people are complicated. His best cartoons were superb. You're not obliged to dislike them because you dislike his politics.

Being able to make countless minor mistakes in my teenage years and early 20s and not have to worry about them following me around for decades. Being forgotten is one of the truly great privileges we have lost over the last couple of decades.

6.12.15 Liverpool beaten 2-0 by Newcastle - this season is so bizarre I'm starting to think we may actually have a serious chance of the title, because no one else seems capable of mounting a consistent challenge at the moment. #LCFC #Impossible10YearsOn
