The Atlantic
In 2018, one year before his ascension to prime minister, Boris Johnson was asked by a European diplomat about these adverse effects. He replied, “Fuck business.” And indeed, something like that happened.
Good article that explains a lot, but not how people were bamboozled into letting it happen.

The 252nd Carnival of Mathematics
I loved some of the things Fractal Kitty rounded up, especially Hawzen's amazing effort to identify a fossil mollusc shell purely on the basis of gross morphology, here. I kinda sorta understand the maths, though not in any great detail, especially this:
Naturally, the distance between two shells s1 and s2 is squared euclidean distance between their contour points:
Naturally!
Is it the species they think it is? Who cares.

Testing syndication from idno, which had disappeared a while back. I wasn't happy with the formatting of the shared post before, so perhaps this will prompt me to improve that. No good. Reverting to CDN's fix

I embarked on trying to update a web mentions plugin for my other site, which uses the Grav CMS. I fear that the work may be beyond me, even with the help of an LLM, but we shall see. So I want to follow the Posse of Webmention Scratch-Builders even though I have little to contribute.

I do have vague recollections of caffeine being a sleep blocker rather than an arousal mechanism of some sort, and I have to say I have never personally experienced a coffee buzz nor coffee induced insomnia.

Guerilla Gardening.
Last time I tried this the forces of evil prevailed quite quickly. Maybe this time will be better, maybe times have changed.

Researchers in Sweden optimised school lunches to reduce GHG emissions while staying essentially the same. Negative result very positive; no changes in amount eaten, amount wasted and meal satisfaction.

Naty is ahead of the curve in using less water to cook pasta, which I am now doing regularly. For rice, at least brown rice, I probably use too much water as I invariably end up draining it when it is done. Better that than scorched rice. I need a small rice cooker.

Domain prices in 2026 for my portfolio - Jan Wildeboer’s Blog
This is sound advice to shop around and maybe consolidate domains. Glad I moved from Gandi a long time back.

Latest episode looks at the hipster baristas and Chinese espresso, both of which show that even traditions that define an identity are not as immutable as people sometimes think they are.

Collard greens are strongly associated with Black foodways in the US South. They are also valued in Morocco on the edge of the Sahara, although the outside world has only just found out about that.
That raises so many questions.
