nostr:npub1qfpe5wy2fu82nj3qpw9gxd0nyv33lelayyunhfmxm0a2sgg006fqs22xdk Scaramucci lasted only 10 days. That's as long as the official mourning period for Queen Elizabeth, which started just a day or two after Truss got into power. Politics was suspended for the period, so had the Queen not died, it's likely Truss would have resigned a Scaramucci earlier!

Let's start describing periods of 49 days as a "Truss"

"AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble", according to this article. That must be the quickest boom-to-bust of all time! Just sightly longer than Liz Truss's premiership

I missed this- 50 of the 60 staff at the #NewAge #Findhorn Foundation face redundancy. Apparently it's “no longer financially viable”

A childhood friend of #MohammedHassan, the porter who died on #K2 as other #mountaineers allegedly stepped over him in their rush to the summit, has described it as "the most dehumanising event of my life" and says he hope it will "not happen in the future". "The #climbers, who scaled the K2 this year, I understand their behaviour was below #humanity and it was very saddening, after they walked past the man after he was gravely injured in a fall and they scaled the K2".

This New York Times article- although it's focused on the #US- puts into perspective l #Sunak's #energy policies (all those #oil and #gas drilling licences!) Even the oil state of #Oklahoma is welcoming clean energy industries (something #Aberdeen could learn from?)
