New essay: There is a little-known regulation that has been strangling biotech innovation for decades.

@s8mb "A steel straw needs to be used 150 times to be worth using. A ceramic mug needs to be used 1,000 times to beat a polystyrene cup. A cotton bag needs to be reused 173 times to beat single-use."

@s8mb Boomer environmentalism is a kind of animist religion where land is sacred and therefore wounding the land (landfills, construction, etc) triggers ill health and bad fortune. Much falls into place once you understand this

@s8mb We get summers like this every 4 years or so now lol. 2018, 2022, 2026 and to a lesser extent 2013 were all world class summers. Thankfully we will be getting them, and joining the civilised world reliably drinking and dining outdoors in summers, more often, not less.

The one relief about this hot summer is that it is such an outlier that we'll probably never have another one like it again.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850. https://t.co/u

Peckham is 20 mins from Shoreditch by rail and includes some of south London's loveliest streets and parks. It is baffling that some people think that the squalid Rye Lane, below, is something to try to preserve instead of trying to bring up to the standard of its surroundings. h

Watching Man Utd these days is like meeting the kid who bullied you at school, 20 years on, working as a human sign post for a golf sale.
