Rise in dengue fever outbreaks across the Pacific driven by the climate crisis, experts say Samoa, Fiji and Tonga among the worst affected amid warning the disease and others will become ‘more common and more serious’ as the planet warms The climate crisis is driving a sharp rise in dengue fever cases across the Pacific islands, experts say, as infections hit their highest level in a decade and several countries declare emergencies. Pacific Island countries and territories have reported 16,502 confirmed cases and 17 deaths since the start of 2025, according to the Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS), which collaborates with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other agencies. Infections across the region are at the highest level since 2016, the WHO said. Fiji, Samoa and Tonga are among the worst affected. Continue reading...

We’ve moved from foreign institutions to foreign people.

It’s (obviously) more personal.

And, I fear, more strongly held, and more dangerous.

Trump in a beige v-neck merino sweater and beige chinos.

Donald Trump Jr. wearing a USA flag sport coat. The jacket tag has been left on the sleeve.

Brendan Carr and Benny Johnson. Both wearing blue suits with tan shoes. Carr's suit is mid-blue. He has paired it with blonde shoes. Johnson is wearing a navy suit with walnut colored shoes.

Matt Braynard wearing a navy suit with a white French cuff shirt and gold colored tie. He has a giant Windsor knot and a metal sports watch.

Some of the crimes I've seen in Washington DC:

— Beige sweater with beige chinos
— Jacket sleeve tag left on
— Tan shoes with navy suits
— Giant Windsor knots (triple felony with the metal sports watch paired with dark suit and French cuffs)

So good

A good excuse for my favourite 'Conservatism in the UK in 2025' image: first story is from 2022, second is from autumn of last year.

I dont think there's been a worse government decision in terms of sheer immediate injustice, time-wasting, overreach for quite a while in the UK. lots that had *longer term* implications but this has been a shameful disaster.

A man standing on what appears to be a balcony of his home.

The man's living room. There's a couch, coffee table, and foot stool, as well as some tall windows. Lots of wood.

Another living space with a fireplace and bookshelf. Possibly a compression hallway leading to this room.

The outside of the home.

Incredible.

Roland Reisley is 101 years old, the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He still lives in the 3,200 square foot home that Wright built for him in 1952.

The price? $40,000. Or a little less than half a million in today's money.

My dad told me a story about having a drink with Mr Lovell at some local dive bar when this sequence was being filmed for The Man who Fell to Earth back in the 1970's.
My dad said Mr. Lovell had a lot to say about space and what he saw there...
I'll leave it at that.
Rest in peace, spaceman.

Shame on Starmer and Cooper for putting our police in this position

Explosive and experimental, Eddie Palmieri was a revolutionary figure in postwar American music The Puerto Rican New Yorker pianist, who has died aged 88, radiated pure joy as he played – never resting on his laurels as he went from jazz to salsa to house and beyond

"'El Maestro' is how his fans and fellow musicians referred to Eddie and this human hurricane, built like a fire hydrant with the brightest smile and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, never disappointed."

Explosive + experimental, Eddie Palmieri was a revolutionary figure in postwar American music:
