1. The same thing is going on in Republican states in the US. Trans people are becoming the demons of the moment - to people who don't know any, I guess. Biden has been moving in some disturbing directions also, but US political parties are decentralized. The President can't make Congresspeople of his party adhere to his positions, and there's lots of Democratic Congress members who won't accept any anti-trans policies.

2. This is about as clear an explanation for lay readers as you'll get of a highly techy subject, but it's still more than I want to absorb. I knew that the three-body problem is too complex to solve, but giving up on stacked Feynman diagrams because it's too hard - isn't that what computers are for?

4. We're getting a lot of this in the US also - random abuse of politicians for supposedly wanting bad things - but it's mostly coming from Republicans.

8. Look on the bright side: the UK can't be the worst economy in the EU any more, because it's not in the EU any more. (g)
