"Catnip lotion as effective as Deet at repelling mosquitoes, study finds"- did a cat write this?
A joint Welsh and Ugandan study has shown a 6% catnip oil based lotion to be just as effective as DEET for repelling mosquitos. The guardian article is by, I shit you not, "Kat Lay"

The Grauniad headline says "Tell us: do you use AI for fitness?", but the response form asks "how do you use AI..."

@glynmoody I find it funny that in order to read the article about AI-caused knowledge collapse I have to consent to some stuff or sign up ... so guess what? I did not read it. The knowledge collapse came from not being able to read stuff any more. #theguardian #grauniad One used to be able to read the paper at coffee and no-one recorded and tracked your reading over your shoulder or waved stuff in your face. Many could read the same issue. Paper is now more important but almost gone for ever.

After subscribing to The Guardian for several years I'm now two-timing with a month's i subscription before I decide which to continue with.
So far, the i articles seem just as well-written/researched, less verbose, and without The Guardian's obvious "chip on the shoulder" that becomes tedious after a while.
Shame about the paywall though, especially as "gift links" don't seem to be supported.

"Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties."
#Grauniad #Farage #StampDutyMind you, whether he or either of them has spent days in it, or that constituency, is less than clear.

"three former MPs" & "opponents of Brexit" . Interesting choice of worders from the #Grauniad. They were MP's at the time and solidly for #RemainEU. Slightly stronger than just #stopbrexit although they did speak for us in the HoC. #remainsteadfast #ForeverEUropean 💖 🇪🇺 😎 ✊

#futureproof #tech #AI #communication #blackswan #media #po;itics The day is coming when we'll be back to quill pen and parchment viz the drop out rate of 'cutting edge' advances. Two examples in my experience. #mobile connectivity = zero. #BBCSounds = zero. No TV since the liars fixed the referendum vote. Papers online, do I trust em anymore. Even the #Grauniad beginning to get a bit whiffy. It is #genocide (& has been for a long time) & #Farage is a #fascist and #refugeesarewelcome.

Whole article about #gravy in the #Grauniad today (genuine article about the stuff in the #food section, but seems quite coincidental given whats been happening on the #Fediverse recently)

Despite Lewis’ love of animals & distress at running over a groundhog, you have to think that the word he said here was “vanes” … 🙄

if these people have 20-30+ years experience in the TV industry, they surely would know this has been a problem for 3 decades, the rot set in during the 90s when the regional TV companies cannibalised each other and thousands of jobs were lost - first to go were the younger and minority staff (this was even before #streaming #media ) and they didn't get a #Grauniad column back then (it seemed folk in the #CreativeIndustries were in denial about what was happening)

#Grauniad columnist is asking who started the culture war between cyclists and drivers. I don't know but I certainly know who is string shit as long as they can make a living out of it.

The irony of seeing Kensington&Chelsea flooded with bikes (whereas the council is hell bent on not having bike lanes) is not lost on me.
Meanwhile the #Grauniad typists flet obliged to add a reference to helmet in the story

‘Facing war in the Middle East and Ukraine, the US looks feeble. But is it just an act?’ – Adam Tooze
Oh, it’s an act alright.

I can see the advantages of the LGPS being one scheme rather than many. But as someone with a family member whose pension fund was raided by Mugger Murdoch, our pension pots being viewed as resources to fund our employers’ activities is worrying…
Also, it has not been a final salary scheme in over a decade.

"Anti-woke warrior" ≡ Fascist
Why is the Grauniad giving these people publicity??

Oh Adrian Chiles has written an apology for driving whilst being distracted with his mobile phone in the #Grauniad. They gave it the cute name of "Waze Dad".

Surprisingly sympathetic from the #Grauniad on the plight of #trans teenagers post-Cass.
Things feel as though they're getting pretty bad here. I can remember trying to persuade a trans friend to move from Lithuania to Scotland because I felt they would be safer here. It doesn't feel that way any more.

@laukei I've gotten to grips with cryptics a couple of times over the years (rarely completing one - happy to do half the clues), but each time I try again, there are new conventions and it's hard work. Nice to see a puzzle that provides an easier way in. I miss Araucaria whose clues were often witty and always "worked".

Listening to the #Grauniad's Politics Weekly this morning, and what I'm hearing is John Harris and Kiran Stacey repeatedly talking over their colleague Gaby Hinsliff with no apparent self awareness. It's the most cringe-worthy display of blatant, privileged sexism.
