Did the BBC prevent John Sweeney from profiling Seumas Milne?
"posh, minor aristocrat Stalinist" Seamus I didn't know, until Sue informed me yesterday, that the famous John Sweeney now co-hosts a podcast called 'Last Call'. He presents it with an American journalist called Michael Weiss, and the pair of them call their double act 'Two Boozy Hacks'. (As far as John Sweeney is concerned, I think we can all guess why!) Their latest episode is called 'Labour Pains' and features former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson as a special guest. It last about an hour. Unexpectedly, I must say that I enjoyed it. They all came across as rather charming. ... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah Sunday Thoughts from the apocryphal, heretofore undiscovered Book Of Some Other Noah:* And it came to pass, that one day human kind's dark future had arrived. The avian descendants of the dinosaurs assumed their long-planned and long-awaited position at the top on planet Earth. They played it smartly. They acted with sense. Their patience had won the day as had their wisdom that the flightless and featherless bipeds would one day destroy themselves. There had been no asteroid this time. There was no need.

Ten Reasons Why Renewable Energy Is the Future
*Andrew Blakers* *Energy, Oceania* In an ideal world, all sectors of the economy – transport, agriculture, manufacturing and others – would pull in the same direction to cut emissions. Australia’s latest greenhouse gas figures released today show national emissions fell slightly last year. This was by no means an economy-wide effort – solar and wind energy did most of the heavy lifting. Emissions fell 0.9% last year compared to 2018. The rapid deployment of solar and wind is slashing emissions in the electricity sector, offsetting increases from all other sectors combined. Rene... more »
