The 2024 #Labour Budget allocated just £11.3 billion to climate change mitigation and adaptation—covering everything from carbon capture* and
nuclear energy* to tree planting and EV charging*—compared to
at least £58 billion for military spending.
NB, those with a * are fake climate mitigation.

Publishing's class problem
The 2024 data shows a similar picture of middle-class origin dominance of publishing. Although there are year-on-year variations, since 2019 there has consistently been more than 60% proportions of middle-class origin people in publishing occupations. In the same period, working-class origin proportions have never been above 20%.

approximately no one's noticing but stack overflow is reaching its maximum number of questions.
that's because every day, every unanswered, unupvoted, uncommentedon question older than a year gets deleted (see the big jump up on the graph in April 2024). those deletions are now neck and neck with new questions coming in on weekdays. those deletions dwarf new questions coming in on weekends, so the site's already shrinking on weekends.
it was fun while it lasted <3

a graph showing the number of questions on stack overflow each day. a year ago on the graph there's a big notch up, showing the effect of deleting unanswered questions more than a year old.
