I don't want to defend Mangione, but sometimes I get the impression there's another reason involved
he's a cold-blooded murderer even if they somehow screw up the case. sorry if this offends. the fact that he's a murderer is why you like him, if you like him.
They didn’t read Luigi Mangione his Miranda rights? And searched his bag without a warrant???

Did he read the bit in Lord of The Rings where a creepy toxic guy filled the local ruler’s head with idiotic poison and wrecked everything in that kingdom until the king came to his senses and chucked the toxic creep out?

In general I think it's hard to combat scientific misinformation when some of the best research is locked behind an academic paywall, while lots of nonsense gets published free for everyone to read in predatory journals.

I thought a MWh battery might be ~shipping container size, or something impractical like that. But with a reasonable-to-low density estimate it turns out to be roughly 3,300 litres, or a cube with 1.5m sides. Not terrible!

Since WW2, 19 seats in Westminster have been won with less than 30% of the vote. Ten of those were last year. They'll be a lot more next time.
5 parties on more than 12%, winner gains seat with under 30%. Results like this used to be rare, freak outliers. Now they are routine (there was a second just like this yesterday). Electoral chaos.
Newmarket East (West Suffolk) Council By-Election Result:
➡️ RFM: 29.7% (New)
🌳 CON: 25.0% (+4.1)
🔶 LDM: 17.2% (-3.1)
🌹 LAB: 15.3% (-8.3)
🌍 GRN: 12.8% (New)
No WSI (-19.2) or Ind (-16.1) as previous.
Reform GAIN from Labour.
