This is good by @timleunig.bsky.social. An odd choice IMV that commercial buildings have to have the same level of 'right to light' as residential ones...while not being built to a standard that you can convert them to residential buildings easily.

This sounds an incredibly interesting project for someone. PS: I know that this isn't the point), but look at the map that makes up the teaser image: Fenland and historic East Anglia, i.e., Norfolk and Suffolk, don't really overlap. The silts and peats of the Broads are... different landscapes.

If the US can disregard the most basic of WTO rules with impunity, why should anyone else obey those rules they find irksome? So I am puzzled when people caution against retaliation. It is required, or the whole rules based WTO edifice will eventually collapse. Retaliation is pro-globalisation.

China’s response is not the start of a global trade war since it only targets the USA. It is how you would expect a major player to respond. This is not the global economy breaking down, it is not the 1930s, it is not the formation of multiple imperial blocs, it is the US isolating itself.

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

A fascinating list of newspapers in Ireland (and how often they were published), from 1850. The number of newspapers in the country was as high as 25 in 1800, hit 66 by 1830 and was almost 100 by the middle of the century. #irishhistory
