Inside the Bureau of Meteorology’s forecast failings: As the Bureau of Meteorology pulls back on its international obligations, increasing automation and a lack of experienced staff has made forecasts less reliable. By Rick Morton.

Inside the Bureau of Meteorology’s forecast failings
Bureau of Meteorology chief executive Dr Andrew Johnson turned up to Senate estimates last month without his right-hand man, Peter Stone, many of the bureau’s other executives and, apparently, his briefing notes. Johnson, who is also the director of meteorology, appointed to the now $533,000 a year job in 2016 by former environment minister Josh Frydenberg, claimed not to be able to answer basic questions about BoM processes. At one stage, he even attempted to prevent his chief operating offi…

Trump ally told to begin four-month contempt sentence by 1 July
Steve Bannon, the rightwing podcaster and vociferous Donald Trump cheerleader,
has been ordered to surrender to authorities by 1 July to begin a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress.
The order was issued by US district judge Carl Nichols
– who was appointed to the bench by Trump
– after he accepted prosecutors’ argument that Bannon should serve his sentence following the rejection of …

Regularized-Renormalized-Resummed loop corrected power spectrum of non-singular bounce with Primordial Black Hole formation
We present a complete and consistent exposition of the regularization, renormalization, and resummation procedures in the setup of having a contraction and then non-singular bounce followed by inflation with a sharp transition from slow-roll (SR) to ultra-slow roll (USR) phase for generating primordial black holes (PBHs). We consider following an effective field theory (EFT) approach and study the quantum loop corrections to the power spectrum from each phase. We demonstrate the complete remova…

Single-cycle, 643-mW average power THz source based on tilted pulse front in lithium niobate
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the highest average power from a laser-driven single-cycle THz source demonstrated so far, using optical rectification in the titled pulse-front geometry in cryogenically cooled lithium niobate, pumped by a commercially available 500 W ultrafast thin-disk Yb-amplifier. We study repetition rate dependent effects in our setup at 100 kHz and 40 kHz at this high average power, revealing different optimal fluence conditions for efficient conversion. The demo…

So, France plans to force the Internet domain name system servers (such as Google's 8.8.8.8) to give wrong answers.
(Imagine what that will do to DNSSEC, or how it will boost DoH and DoT access to DNS.)
Sounds a lot like the Fifth Lateran Council's attempt to limit the publication of books (using excommunication as a tool.)
Compare the following two items (in the second one, search for the heading "On printing books")

DWP failings, Labour silence
"... a survey of DWP staff... found that two-thirds of them do not have enough time to deal with safeguarding concerns “carefully” and “correctly”, despite years of deaths of benefit claimants linked with DWP’s actions. ...
"... the PCS union... said benefit claimants in vulnerable situations were “falling through the gaps” in the system.
"But Labour made no mention of these concerns in last week’s announcements..."
