WorldbyStorm - 11:34 Mon Feb 18, 2019 I’m surprised they have gone, not quite as surprised to hear no party as of yet is emerging from this. After the debacle of the SDP one would think there’d be a degree of caution about such adventurism. Where and how does this go?A
WorldbyStorm - 11:19 Mon Feb 18, 2019 The British airline Flybmi has gone bust, cancelling all flights with immediate effect and blaming Brexit as the main cause of its collapse.

Politicians and the media have contributed in equal measures to the decline of civil […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:32 Sun Feb 17, 2019 Mentioned a while back posters on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/NASA website and here’s some more, this time including infographics of Voyager. Got to say, they’re handsome. I particularly like the posters. And you can download them and print them out at poster size.A

Your Grandparents Have Done That Already? were subject to criticism by the Immigrant Council of Ireland for being offensive. Sweeney argues that this is actually fairly uncontentious, not least because […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:32 Sun Feb 17, 2019 I was reading a Slate.com piece on trains in the US and in comments almost predictably a battle commenced over Ocasio-Cortez, particularly in the context of a somewhat messy launch of her GND? Anyhow, one comment said: Her intelligence wasn’t even questioned. But I would certainly question her credentials and accomplishments. Not much there, there. […]A
