Whilst its easy to get used to scary graphs, this one made me pause! The 2025 State of the Cryosphere report published yesterday has this one overlaying observations of #AMOC slowdown against model predictions. The report states that “AMOC shutdown appears all but inevitable”

This is a genuinely fascinating piece of research done by Sky on the sewer previously known as Twitter. Having been largely off it for a bit over a month, and having jumped on yesterday for a half an hour to search for insane right wing responses to Mamdani’s win, I can’t tell you just how 1/

Absolute perfection. #Reform

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

Well said Lisa Nandy! Reform have no real answers to anything. They just create fear, distrust and chaos! www.instagram.com/reel/DQc5Aot...

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Utterly repulsive

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

Six great reads: Virginia Giuffre’s story, the truth about chatfishing, and Peter Thiel’s search for the antichrist

So many of these will deeply resonate with biochemists of a certain age

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Convinced that most British people want to live in a functioning, decent country where government improves stuff and everyone can thrive. The vast majority want nothing to do with this imported hate and atmosphere of violence directed at people just trying to live their lives.

The UK was experiencing a national emergency when Michelle Mone decided to scam the government for £ms. She should be in prison not issuing self pitying press releases.

Energy Secretary Ed Milliband brands Nigel Farage and his allies as: 'Investment-crushing, job-destroying, bill-raising, poverty-driving, science-denying, Putin-appeasing, young people betraying, bunch of ideological extrmeists'

💰 PPE Medpro must repay £122m for supplying defective PPE ⚖️ But it doesn’t stop with Baroness Mone. When will the ministers who referred their cronies onto the VIP Lane face consequences? https://goodlaw.social/f2e9

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform. A relentless klaxon of failure.

🔥 The world’s top climate scientists have found that global warming is accelerating. Oceans are rising faster than ever, and the 1.5°C target is slipping away, but there’s still a narrow path forward. #ClimateAction

I thought I saw some auks, but it was just a skua flying backwards.

Man, it's like gifting the President with a flying bribery palace can't even buy a country sovereignty anymore.
