It is essential to stop using Chrome.
Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.
Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable.
We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all.

News that UK government is set to approve plans for Drax power station to burn wood with 'carbon capture'. The climate claims of this technology have been widely debunked and it will cost taxpayers well over a million pounds EACH DAY in subsidies.

“exit from EU all about moments like this.” says #Brexit MP Kevin Hollinrake, can you believe it, he's talking about pint bottles. The UK plummets, investment, NHS, environment, science, economy, etc all ripped apart by these Brexit Tories. Plus one of the most unequal societies in the world. https://rb.gy/eamk5e #RejoinEU #SunakOut #ToriesOut #StandWithUkraine
@spacehobo I wasn't aware of that, only the differences between the Russian and other Orthodox sects.

On 7 January 1610, Galileo wrote a letter containing the first mention of Jupiter's moons. At the time, he saw only three of them, and he believed them to be fixed stars near Jupiter. He continued to observe these celestial orbs from 8 January to 2 March 1610. In these observations, he discovered a fourth body, and also observed that the four were not fixed stars, but rather were orbiting Jupiter. via @wikipedia
Stewart Lee on James Cleverly, who liked him a lot better when he was funny...
"...perhaps still bearing a grudge from the time when, after a gig at Ealing College of Higher Education in 1990, I declined to sign his cock with marker pen."

Well, quite. It can be challenge enough for a journalist to be bothered to dig. All I know, and can be arsed to find out, is that the entity which goes by the name of Anna McShane claims to be an Oxford PPE graduate, and has penned a few words for LabourList. That's the extent of the public profile.
@Peternimmo @mattjhodgkinson @Loukas @rhys
Think about how journalists work, and especially how they filter the deluge of unsolicited information they receive.
@Peternimmo @mattjhodgkinson @Loukas @rhys Because it's a highly effective way of getting media attention.
@mattjhodgkinson @Peternimmo @Loukas @rhys That's right. More in Common, LabourList, etc. A popup 'thinktank' serving as an ideological front for the Labour right.
@Peternimmo Naughty Peter.
@Peternimmo @rhys @mattjhodgkinson Brian had his faults, but that was an undeserved character assassination.
@Peternimmo @rhys @mattjhodgkinson He is indeed. I've been familiar with Kamm since he was a lowly Eustonite blogger. He once slagged off my late uncle, Brian Sedgemore, the former leftist Labour MP.
@Peternimmo @rhys @mattjhodgkinson One can always rely on Kamm for a deserved character assassination.
