A 'landmark' study says screens damage babies. Its own authors say it found no such causal link (theguardian.com)

A 'landmark' review by an advocacy team across four UK universities is reported as proof that screens harm babies' development.

The thread's top comment puts the headline next to the study's own words: it 'did not establish causal links.' Critics call it advocacy dressed as research. The one signal that survives isn't the headline — it's a separate finding that babies under a parent's phone show the same stress as the 'still-face' experiment.

Solar out-generated coal in the US for the first time. An ex-nuclear engineer added the asterisk (theguardian.com)

An ex-nuclear plant engineer put up the 2025 figures: 389 TWh solar against 1,807 TWh gas. The crossover with coal is real but partly a story of coal plants converting to gas over 20 years, not solar overpowering them.

The optimists had receipts too: solar is already the cheapest energy source, and its learning rate points to it becoming the single largest source on Earth by 2035.
