The Zoë dieting app gets the treatment from @timharford.ft.com on the BBC's excellent MoreOrLess programme. It isn't pretty. Grossly exaggerated claims made for Alzheimer's. Tim Spector abuses science. Listen from 16:45 at bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/bbc

Finally got to ride a double-decker bus! The people, they look like ants down there. #BusStuff

A red double-decker bus (number 390) with people boarding and getting off. British flags are over the street, and in the background some ornate buildings.
View from out of the bus window. The window is the same height as the middle of a tree, and over the roof of a covered bus stop. Looking down, there are people below on the sidewalk.
Another shot out of the window of the double-decker bus, but this time from the front. There is another red double-decker bus immediately in front (in traffic), and there are streetlights at the same level as the window.
The top of the (rear) stairs of the double-decker bus. They curve upward with yellow handrails. There are windows around the stairs as well, and outside of the bus you can see the road behind the bus, with cars and people crossing.

This is the kind of thing that does get fixed by making some noise about it.

Totally unacceptable and if you get these from a state agency (especially a blue state!) make sure your legislators and the governor's office and whichever relevant agency head all know how irate you are about it.

Not really,
because the oceans around reefs aren't deserts

Simon J. Brandl (@gobyone.bsky.social)
Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️
