The best bits in the Boris Johnson memoirs are the unintentional revelations. Here, we learn that the Queen read government briefings, and he didn't.

JFC! Even if we can eliminate all CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels with carbon dioxide removal (CDR) or carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) (we can't; not even close), we shouldn't keep setting carbon on fire because air pollution from combustion will still kill millions of people every year.

A tweet from Matthew Yglesias, a very unserious person:

As a very serious person, I'm confused about this.

Isn't that obviously the point? If you can make carbon capture work, then you can keep burning fossil fuels and not worry about the climate impact — which would be good because climate change is bad.

Working at NASA, that's one of my biggest frustrations with all the SpX business we do. Like yes, I am very much aware of how much we depend on them. But also, we're kinda addicted to how cheap/fast they do stuff, but that's because they just break laws they don't want to follow!

Me, on Virginia Public Radio: “This is really the first time that automakers are being told that they will need to take into account pedestrian safety in the physical design of their vehicles. This has never actually happened before in America.” www.wvtf.org/news/2024-09...

I'm not drinking too many bottles of gin. We try to intersperse them with bottles of wine or whisky.
