 The leaves are about to start falling, as are the environmental standards as Michael Gove tries to scrap the limits on 'nutrients' (as Atlantic killifish and their relatives call them) entering into streams, as part of a claim that this is necessary to increase the rate of building Completely unrelated, schools in England must immediately shut buildings made with a concrete prone to collapse until safety work done. Meanwhile, the rate of inflation on actual nutrients has fallen slightly, but that just means that prices continue to get higher at a slightly lower rate, all while surveys show that 5% of people report running out of food and being unable to afford to buy more. https://twitter.com/DrAhmednurAli/status/1690017153984983040 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMLsbf6UiYc 🍂 In Other News • Nadine Dorries announces she will stand down as Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire with immediate effect, then doesn't, then does, eventually • Saponification will be made available as an alternative to cremation later this year, according to the Co-op • University of Cambridge reports the creation of the first synthetic human embryo from stem cells, without the need for sperm or egg cells • A hospital in Oxford has carried out the UK's first womb transplant, with a 34-year-old cis woman receiving her sister's womb • TERFs are furious about the above two for stupid reasons, as part of their general commitment to being furious for the stupidest reasons • Scotland is planning on fighting the Whitehall block on GRA reform too, possibly even in court • Sadiq Khan and Rishi Sunak plan to battle over ULEZ expansion and LTNs, hopefully in giant mechs • The whole air traffic system goes down for a while because they don't sanitize their inputs properly • PSNI applies radical public service transparency to some files it should not have • Labour applies the Gray Man Theory to their promotional videos  🍂 Don't Go Near The Water UKMT Summer 2023 - Too fat and woke to fight UKMT Spring 2023 - Springtime for NatCs UKMT Winterval 2023 - Fisking the Trussay UKMT Autumn 2022 - Get thee behind me, seitan.

They're calling it 'resomation', but if you're putting a body in the soap making chemicals and shaking it around a bit there's already a name for the end result of that. Slight irony of "cremation pollutes the air, we're going to put people in the water as liquid soap instead" finally getting approval just as the shitey water scandal peaks. Maybe that's the 'nutrients' that Gove is referring to

Microplastics posted:Did the government ban those tiny little cartridges of nitrous oxide? Because I don't see those all over the street any more. Also more likely to injure or asphyxiate you if you do it completely wrong, and they're not allowed to include instructions other than "never inhale this ever or you'll die and go to super hell", so not the best win for harm reduction, but at least the litter problem got solved  *chokes on party horn*

OwlFancier posted:Very similar to asbestos use then seemingly, in that for a while it was just in everything and not really documented and now we get to go round trying to find it and make sure it isn't falling apart. I think the closest modern equivalent to asbestos is those engineered stone kitchen worktops, there's rumblings in trade magazines and people who engineer them for a living but nobody in the wider public seems to want to acknowledge it.

And also uniforms really don't do that, otherwise the least classist schools in the country would be the old money public schools with formal dress codes, and I'm fairly sure that is not the case. Even (especially?) in full tie and blazer and your-trousers-must-be-this-shade-of-charcoal schools rich kids will just use dress shoes or watches or items of jewellery that the staff wouldn't dare complain about like gold crucifixes to show off. Or just their name, proper old school classism.

Individualist brainworms. Who's going to do the low paid jobs if everyone has better paid jobs? Even from a beep boop Numbers Fuckstein perspective child welfare has a fantastic return on investment (as well as being one of the principle responsibilities of a society since idk 12000 BCE). Absolutely zero sociological imagination. "If u pay for babby it eat money and money disappear  "
