On Bluesky last night
Catherine Rampell noted that in documents Trump released
there were confirmations of Russia’s work on Trump’s behalf in 2020
and that China “did not intend to “try to affect the election.”

one of the supposedly damning docs the White House released tonight says Russia tried to undermine BIDEN. Also says China "prefers that President Trump be defeated" but actually "Beijing did not intend to try to affect the election" (!)

A Modern Compiler for the French Tax Code
In France, income tax is computed from taxpayers' individual returns, using an algorithm that is authored, designed and maintained by the French Public Finances Directorate (DGFiP). This algorithm relies on a legacy custom language and compiler originally designed in 1990, which unlike French wine, did not age well with time. Owing to the shortcomings of the input language and the technical limitations of the compiler, the algorithm is proving harder and harder to maintain, relying on ad-hoc be…

Procès climatique contre TotalEnergies : la justice ordonne au groupe pétrolier de prendre en compte les émissions de CO₂ de ses clients
Depuis 2020, une coalition d’associations et la Ville de Paris demandent à la justice de contraindre la multinationale à réduire ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Le tribunal vient d’exiger que le géant pétrogazier intègre dans son plan de vigilance les émissions de ses clients. Une avancée significative.

He came under national scrutiny in March after CNN reported on a cache of outlandish comments from his appearances on right-wing podcasts, -- including the bizarre claim that h…

Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.
