KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

A weird cloud forms on Mars each year and now we know why

A weird cloud appears on Mars each year and now we know why. Simulations show the cloud forms because there is an extremely high amount of water vapour in the Martian atmosphere.

What was that saying about insanity?

Wes Streeting’s PFI plan is a disaster for the NHS youtu.be/xgDFaQ8nEEw?... Wes Streeting wants to fund 200 new NHS health centres through PFI. But the Public Finance Initiative was a disaster. This video explains why PFI 2.0 is a betrayal of the NHS.

Vitality, not metrics: why we must reclaim the soul of care The NHS won’t be saved by metrics – it will be saved by leaders who dare to centre care, imagination, and humanity over control

"Health and care leadership has become enthralled by performance management: dashboards, inspections and league tables...

When they dominate, care is hollowed out. People learn to perform adequacy rather than offer real care."

The long division algorithm CAN be understandable and not just a procedure to memorize. Here's how we can make sense of it:

Banks cannot lend their depositors’ funds Introduction I keep getting comments from people who claim that my suggestion that banks do not use funds deposited with them to make loans is wrong. They are adamant that this claim is wrong. They ar...

People claim that banks lend the funds deposited with them. They don't. In fact, they can't. It is technically impossible for them to do so. In this post, I explain why that is the case and how banks really create the loans that they offer to their customers.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Why running a country isn’t like running a household

Why running a country isn’t like running a household youtu.be/sAKr55O7qaU?... Politicians love to say the government must “live within its means” – just like a household. But this analogy is completely wrong. In this video, I explain why.

If we subtract all the digits from any number, we will always get a multiple of 9. Let's see why!

Is it true that Scotland’s water pollution levels are bad? - Bylines Scotland The Independent Water Commission confirms Scotland's water meets high standards, contradicting recent political claims of poor quality

"Scottish Water is still 100% owned by the state. This begs the obvious question whether profit seeking is a priority over water quality and the consumers are left with substandard supply."

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

Another day of reminding everyone that: "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Of course, Barry Goldwater was talking about how he viewed President Johnson and the Democrats. Little did he know that his observations would actually come to fruition under Republican president Donald Trump. Goldwater must be spinning in his grave.

Reeves says rules and red tape are ‘boot on the neck’ of business At the Mansion House dinner she calls for regulators to allow more risk to clear the way for economic growth

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.

The state isn’t broken, but the politics of the market is. Years of cuts have gutted public services to feed private profit. We need a state that serves people, not markets.
