Worse than the worst nightmare I could have imagined

Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward.

No words.

What they have been through is indescribable.

It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved.

If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty.

To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it.

I started this inquiry because so many others failed.

Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society.

Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere.

IS everywhere. Not was. IS.

Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was.

Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view.

The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them.

Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses.

Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming.

Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress.

And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories.

This is just the beginning.

Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again.

I do not intend to join that list.

To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you.

I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it. - Rupert Lowe MP

RT @as400495: From @WSJ Editorial Board: "Such data would have shown the surge in what is alleged to be fake autism diagnoses and treatments in Minnesota that were billed by fly-by-night Medicaid providers."

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.

This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.

For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.

Medicaid data has been open sourced, so the level of fraud is easy to identify. @DOGE is not a department, it’s a state of mind.

RT @ProudofusUK: In 1707, two thousand sailors DROWNED.
Not because of a storm.

Because nobody could tell where they were at sea 🇬🇧

This was the longitude problem. The deadliest puzzle in science.

Parliament offered £20,000 to anyone who could solve it.

Nearly four million today.

Every great scientist in Europe tried. Newton. Halley. The finest minds alive.

All of them failed.

The man who solved it was a carpenter from Yorkshire.

His name was John Harrison.

No formal education. No university. No wealthy patron. He taught himself clockmaking.

Built timepieces out of wood.

His idea was “simple”. If you know the exact time at home and the exact time at sea, you can calculate exactly where you are.

The problem?

No clock could keep accurate time on a moving ship. Heat warps metal. Cold contracts it. The ocean never stops moving.

Harrison spent DECADES on it.

H1. Twenty years of work. Not good enough.

H2. Better. Still not enough.

H3. Seventeen years. Over 700 parts.

Still not enough.

Then he did something nobody expected. He stopped building clocks.

He built a watch.

H4. Thirteen centimetres across. The most important watch ever made.

They sent it across the Atlantic. Eighty-one days at sea.

When they arrived, it had lost five seconds.

Five seconds. In eighty-one days. The problem was solved.

But here's the uncomfortable part.

They didn't give him the prize.

The Board of Longitude was run by astronomers.

The very men who'd been trying to solve it their own way.

The Astronomer Royal was both judge and competitor.

They changed the rules. Demanded his designs. Refused to pay.

A working-class carpenter had beaten every astronomer in Europe. And the establishment couldn't accept it.

Harrison was nearly EIGHTY before he got justice.

He went directly to King George III.

The king tested the watch himself and told Harrison to petition Parliament with the king's full backing.

Parliament paid. Harrison died three years later.

After his death, every ship on earth carried a chronometer based on his design.

Every GPS satellite. Every ship's navigation. Every flight path. All of it traces back to a carpenter from Yorkshire who taught himself to build a watch.

His watches are still at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Still ticking.

Still perfect.

The establishment tried to bury him once.

We're not letting it happen again 👇 proudofus.co.uk/support

Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

Solar will utterly dominate future electricity production

Solar is now the dominant source of new U.S. power capacity and is on track to surpass coal in total installed capacity before the end of 2026.

70 GW of new solar capacity is scheduled to come online in 2026–2027 → a 49% increase in operating solar capacity from the end of 2025. - Katie Miller

Think in probabilities

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn.

So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works.

Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it?

Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them.

For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information.

Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible.

Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational. - Math Files
