Some good news (for the North):
Keir Starmer has committed £415m of 'new money' to the ongoing electricfcation & improvement of inter-city rail services around the North...
But, as if he admits, this is a £10bn project & so today's announcement is more of a small continuity payment than a massive shift in speed of completion of a project already running a decade late... but at least Rachel Reeves has not actually cut it back (yet).

'They had no right': Inuit women recount experiences past and present of forced sterilization
While a national organization seeks to track cases of forced sterilization of Indigenous peoples across Canada, Inuit women in the North say the practice hasn't ended. Three women shared their stories with us.

when i was a kid growing up in the subarctic, i'd walk a few blocks from my house to go fishing down at the river after school
every time i walked there, i'd step over a railway that crossed the road. it was half-buried in the muddy gravel, and i was fascinated that it just ...... ended..... in a ditch, on the other side of the road. i never once saw a train car on it.
sometimes i'd throw rocks at the rusting hulk of a tugboat across the ditch, hoping to make a metallic thwak.
TIL that those last 10 feet of rail was the very end of canada's northernmost railway. i had no idea growing up, and i doubt anyone else i grew up with knew it either.

General Hodges on Russia’s Failing Strategy, Ukraine and West’s Fear of Escalation

Interview with ret. US Army General #BenHodges
What happened in 2024: from #Kursk offensive to #North Korea joining the war, how the war developed and what to expect in 2025
Dominik Presl is research fellow at the Czech Association for International Affairs and studies international disinformation and propaganda
My H remembers when this song came out and hearing it on the family car radio when, being driven down the shiny new roads of the M6 in the back of his Dad’s wood-clad Morris Traveller, he’d look up at the sparsely used road bridges punctuating each verse, as well as futuristic brutalist wonders like Lancaster’s Forton Services.
He is in the air. I can report #Santa is in. the. air.

The position of the #magnetic #North #Pole is officially being changed,
continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.
Experts from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) have joined forces
– as they do every five years
– to produce a new, more accurate World Magnetic Model (WMM).
While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis),
the WMM pinpoints the magnetic North Pole
– where Earth's magnetic field points straight down, a perfectly vertical magnetic field.
And as the iron and nickel inside our planet shift,
so does Earth's magnetic field,
meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move.
If you're using a compass or a GPS system,
knowing exactly where these points are is crucial.
"The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before," says global geomagnetic field modeller William Brown, from BGS.
"Magnetic north has been moving slowly around Canada since the 1500s but,
in the past 20 years, it accelerated towards Siberia,
increasing in speed every year until about five years ago,
when it suddenly decelerated from 50 to 35 kilometers [31 to 22 miles] per year,
which is the biggest deceleration in speed we've ever seen."
Research suggests that two giant magnetic lobes
– one under Canada and one under Siberia
– are what's driving the shifting of magnetic north.
Sometimes the shifts are dramatic enough that an emergency update is required,
outside of the usual 5-year cycle.

It was a grey day on the Lofoten Islands, but our trail run was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The sometimes steep climbs are totally worth it for these absolutely marvellous views, even when the sky is a little overcast.
I just can't get enough of them!
Canadian government apologizes to Inuit in Nunavik for mass killing of sled dogs
More than 1,000 of the dogs that Inuit relied on for their livelihoods were shot to death by Mounties, employees of the Hudson's Bay Company and other authorities from the mid-1950s until late 1960s across Nunavik, the Inuit region of northern Quebec.

Just to prove that the BBC think all the North is the same, tonight on Strictly during Chris McCalusland's Liverpool themed dance, the design included reproductions of LS Lowry paintings, who as we know is an artist whose work focussed on Manchester.... but hey, they're Northern cities, so pretty much the same in the eyes of BBC production staff... duuhhhh
Most of the obscenely #wealthy and obnoxiously #loud #tech #bros you see turning up to Trump’s beat have enormous financial stakes in companies
-- whose business activities include either participating in or indirectly enabling things that the laws of the United States currently forbid.
Things like #laundering money for fentanyl dealers,
helping Vladimir #Putin evade sanctions,
running telehealth pill mills for #controlled #substances,
and ensuring #North #Korea has continual access to sufficient capital for its nuclear weapons program
-- all set against a backdrop of alleged securities #fraud and good old fashioned #embezzlement on a scale the world hasn’t seen since 1928.
