Oh hey, @theguardian.com have published Simon Jenkins' "I hate maths" article again, which reminds me that I got into writing a blog for them more-or-less because of his "I hate science" article. Sixteen years ago. 🫨 lifeandphysics.com/2010/06/25/a...

It was clear from the start what this Trump administration's positions on Ukraine and on Russia were going to be. Many people in Europe didn't accept that - because they wanted it to be otherwise, or because they were persuaded by Europe-whisperers like Lindsey Graham that it would all be okay.

Here's how grid-scale batteries and pumped hydro charged over the past week… It's interesting to see the patterns throughout the week. There's a lot of background activity as well as periodic moments where the entire fleet appears to store energy at the same time.

I understand why Streeting has to take this line, but from a practical point of view, there is no longer much value in having Trump inside the tent. He is, at best, inconsistent, which, even when he's offering support for Ukraine, leaves windows of opportunity for Putin.
