Enjoyed this one! Especially the mythbusting of "Growing the grid for AI data centers helps us learn how to electrify transport and heat." Installing klaxons in the concert hall doesn't make the orchestra better.

Was water really regarded as dangerous to drink in the Middle Ages?
It’s a story I’ve been guilty of treating a little too uncritically myself: “In the Middle Ages people drank beer rather than water because the water wasn’t safe.” But…

Lloyd's of London has been pricing maritime risk since 1688. It does not charge a surcharge for the Bermuda Triangle. When a researcher spent years checking the original sources for every famous disappearance in the region, he found storms disguised as calm weather, ships that had been found presented as missing, and events relocated from hundreds of miles away to fit the map.
