3/3 That’s why I’ve backed @stellacreasy's amendment to the Representation of the People Bill to cap political donations at £100,000. This would be a vital safeguard against billionaire capture of our politics and a important step towards rebuilding trust in our democracy.

Throwaway thought, but it’s wildly unhelpful to use AI as a catch all for everything from transformer-based sequence models to agentic coding assistants to LLM generated docs. I suspect sentiment varies a ton across those and lumping them together doesn’t make for a productive conversation

I consistently voice concerns about the idea drilling rosebank would be good for either the climate or the cost of living crisis - in the coming days as this debate returns I will continue to be a voice for prioritising the transition to clean energy for the sake of our pockets and our planet.

Say it louder for the dinosaurs- childcare 👏is 👏economic infrastructure and those making it harder to balance work and family life are harming our productivity and prosperity. Share this and let’s make sure they know we won’t be silenced- as today shows it’s a price we can’t afford to pay.

All the places where I've lived, including Northern California, Hong Kong, NYC, Miami, Honolulu, Paris, and London, have warmed substantially. But this is the coolest that those places will be in our lifetimes. Today is #ShowYourStripes day. Get yours here: www.ShowYourStripes.info

Remembering this WSJ graphic from 2007. Been thinking about "reverse statistics" lately, which means deriving the minimal set of assumptions that justify a result. Here I wonder if there is any function of the data that when max/min would produce such a curve. Ordinary Worst Squares?

Wall Street Journal graph from 2007 showing national corporate tax rates against tax revenue as percent of GDP. There is a curve drawn up and over the and down the other side of the points, but the curve is mainly outside the cloud of data.
