A few days ago, David Lammy wrote a letter to the Justice Committee answering some questions about his proposals to restrict jury trial.
This is a welcome step.
It’s a telling letter.
But not for the reasons you might think.

First, David Lammy is clarifying the numbers.
Except. Um.
I’m confused by this paragraph. Is it half the people keeping jury trial? Or is it three quarters? And why do those two different figures appear in the same paragraph?
Does anyone know? Does David Lammy know?

Second. David Lammy is reassuring us.
You’ll still get a jury trial for murder and manslaughter and rape and rioting …
Wait.
What?
Did he say… Rioting?

O&G fugitive methane reductions have been a concern of mine since ~2008, & are critical to any sort of sustainable & responsible future operation of the oil & gas sector, however demand evolves. I just reviewed the🇨🇦updates announced Dec 17, & I have these comments🧵1/11
2/11 Methane is a very strong GHG, 30-80X CO2 depending on the time frame, ~20-30% of total warming to date. O&G isn't the only source, but it's ~40-50% depending on estimates.
3/11 Fugitive CH4 also one of the cheapest GHGs to abate, <$50/t for a 50-80% reduction via mainly LDAR, depending where you start (gas dominated BC is very tight <0.5%, AB is 1.2-1.7%, heavy oil SK is ~10%).
I don't agree with this
If I move to Germany, they welcome me, if I have a lot of money and help their economy, add to their GDP, sort of homologous to being a student at their universities?
Then because I'm British they take all my money 💩
Who moved to US from Nazi Germany?

As if the world needs £2.5bn to help the 'War Effort'
Seriously fucked up shit.
IF a world war kicked off (not nuclear) NATO would immediately pop up with literally maybe £2.5 TRILLION in a week

Yes "Eat the Rich"
But somehow "Don't Eat the Rich" because it is gross discrimination
I was on holiday in France this summer with my friend's Russian wife - Maybe we should wreck her for her part in the war?

1/ When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the town of Irpin, just west of Kyiv, was the closest that Russia reached to the capital. Its soldiers targeted Christian facilities in the town, destroying buildings and burning Ukrainian-language Bibles in the street. ⬇️
2/ One of the buildings targeted by the Russians was the Field Ministries Training Centre of @MissionEurasia, an international Christian organisation based in Wheaton, Illinois. The group trains missionaries throughout the former Soviet Union and provides humanitarian aid.
3/ After the Russian army reached Irpin on 6 March 2022, the Mission Eurasia training centre was reportedly taken over by Russian special forces, who used it as a barracks and stacked Bibles to barricade windows.

Biggest indication that Israeli ground combat power/excellence has been gradually eroded to nothing since 1973: If you told Dayan in 1973 to mix even his line infantry with Greek conscript rabble, let alone with Cypriot glorified internal security forces, he’d tell you to kill y-
One could already see this in the apparently inability of Israeli infantry to actually take the population heavy parts of the Gaza Strip despite two-three years of war, as well as in their unwillingness to commit to actually meaningful thrusts against a collapsed Syria.
It’s a mix of aerial superiority and ISR dominance which allowed the Israelis to eventually grind down the Axis to nothing. But one thing is clear: Israel’s modern ground forces are anything but Sharon’s “leaping horsemen”.
1. Lesson: Question asked
40yr old male,
6ft, 180lbs,
maternal haplotype J1, currently living at 47th latitude N
fasting insulin = 7.7 (in winter)
Good/high cholesterol numbers
Muscular, but not a shredded hypertrophied build, just solid
Without any other information can my weight and/or fasting insulin be characterized as optimal/sub optimal and can you offer a directional (you should aim to weigh more or less or have a lower fasting insulin) based on this limited information I’ve provided?
Experimenting with different meal composition/timing (Randle cycle) as well as timing/duration/temperature of cold baths in trying to understand my own body composition levers.
Thank you.

🧵 Before the Manger: Matthew’s Fascinating Genealogy of Christ
Matthew chapter 1 is one of the most theologically loaded paragraphs in the New Testament. Many skip it. Matthew expects you to slow down. Here’s what most people miss in this opening chapter of Scripture…👇🏼

🧵 It is a legal and royal document, not just a family tree
Matthew is not giving a sentimental ancestry. He is presenting Jesus’ legal right to the throne of David.
• Matthew writes for a Jewish audience
• Genealogies functioned like royal credentials
• By tracing Jesus through David → Solomon → the kings of Judah, Matthew establishes Jesus as the legitimate heir to Israel’s throne
This is why Matthew begins his Gospel with, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham”
That sentence alone signals kingship, covenant, and promise. Jesus is the rightful heir to the throne of Israel.

🧵 It is structured with deliberate symbolism (not randomness)
Matthew’s genealogy is not exhaustive. It is deliberately selective. He organizes the genealogy into three sets of fourteen generations:
•Abraham → David (14)
•David → the exile (14)
•The exile → Christ (14)
This is not accidental.
In Hebrew:
• David’s name (דוד) has a numerical value of 14
• Matthew is subtly saying: “David, David, David”
The entire structure proclaims that
Jesus is the climax of Israel’s entire royal story. He is the heir to David’s throne. The promised Messiah that even David longed for.

Just days earlier, the region came under a massive strike involving Shahed-type attack drones,

ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
The city, home to one million residents, was plunged into near-complete darkness on Dec. 13, with hundreds of thousands of residents left without electricity, while water and heating services became scarce.
“The emergency situation that arose as a result of the enemy's massive attack on the energy infrastructure has acquired the status of a state-level emergency,” Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper wrote on Dec. 17.
Some residents have remained without electricity to this day.

Russia's talking point of the day already being echoed by useful idiot savants ... "They can't invade Europe because they couldn't defeat Ukraine" - here's why that's wrong ... 1/ They have 350k troops in Belarus trained to do exactly that ...
2/ Russia just carried out an attack exercise in Belarus where it practised only with its strategic forces - showing how it will use lessons learned in Ukraine to menace Europe once there is a frozen conflict in Ukraine
3/ Specifically Russia has 3x options - destabilise Moldova, seize Svalbard, attack a Baltic state - in each case it may judge that with Guardianista useful idiots and "actionists" plus far right parties in W Europe - and Trump in power - NATO would not respond... but...
