Maybe "Noise screechifying" was a secret bonus setting? But yeah I think I do. Weirdly, I did the troubleshooting (out of warranty) and turning ambient noise cancelling off seems to fix it. So it must be the noise cancelling itself. Ouch!
Excellent piece of work from @nestauk.bsky.social Nice summary here of the principles that can help build public support for climate policies (and arguably almost all policies) Public engagement, fairness and financial support/exceptions all key. These are explored in more detail within the report
If âclassâ has become meaningless from an economic standpoint, why do politicians still obsess over it? The thing is, while the level of your job told us virtually nothing about your 2024 vote, things get a bit more interesting when we look at class identityâŚ
It does not mean what it used to mean More than half of people who do professional jobs - managers, doctors, lawyers - say they are âworking classâ People love talking up their origins - but a quarter of people whose *parents* did middle class jobs say theyâre working class
People who identify as working class are more likely to strongly dislike Sunak, Starmer and Davey. And crucially, theyâre much less likely to trust MPs in general

As Deven Ghelani says here, this is a benefit not a cost! Low take-up has always been an issue with Pension Credit. If WFA cut means better off pensioners lose while poorer ones claim PC, that's a win-win.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
A surge in claims for pension credit will make thousands more people eligible for the payments and other benefits
Kristofferson was everything your arsehole rightwing country singer wishes they were. He was a veteran, a man who had been through hard shit, and a genius song writer. And he REGULARLY called them out for being none of that. And for lacking the human empathy that living through that gives you.
