If Labour wins a 1945-style landslide, it will have no excuse for playing it safe | Larry Elliott | The Guardian

Yes yes and yes. A massive mandate requires a bold program. PR. Renationalisation of key infrastructure. Wealth taxes. All that good shit.

Labour's Rachel Reeves rules out increasing income tax or NI

What is the actual point of this? We know the country is on its knees. We need to invest. I'd gladly pay more taxes to have functional NHS, roads, schools, etc.

They reconstructed 1 cubic millimetre of human brain. It contains 1.4 petabytes of electron microscopy data, 150,000,000 synapses. 57,000 neurons.

Huge amount of work. For 1 cubic mm. The Brain is hardcore.

People of Hamburg!
I shall be visiting Hamburg this weekend.
Ostensibly, this is for work (Friday) but I may have accidentally tacked on a couple of days extra to explore the city.

I now realise this is the weekend of the Harbour festival, so this is either a very good or a very bad weekend to visit (ymmv).

Suggestions for eateries (plant based) and other fun things to do gratefully accepted.

#Hamburg.
