It would be nice if, on a hot sunny day, the @peakdistrict.bsky.social, spent its time advising how swimming can be done safely without impacting wildlife, rather than acting like the most normal thing in the world is a dangerous act of criminality. #RightToSwim

Joyful

you cannot sit motionless in the heart of these perils

This Thursday. Outgrow the System - film screening and Q&A Thursday, 21st May - 6pm - 8pm University Of Sheffield - The Diamond - Lecture Theatre 5 This film introduces the new economic perspectives that have the potential to change the world at its core.

So much about this has me screaming into my motonormativity cushion. Why further subsidise all the wealthy people who drive? Why NOT subsidise the poorer people who don't drive?

I'm a keen driver myself, but after this morning's commute I do feel that motorists should keep their hobby for when they're not going to slow down the traffic. This isn't the Grand Prix after all

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

Respect to council officers on Monday, explaining that the council can't spend cycle lane money on potholes, there is no asylum seeker budget, and free parking means more cuts on top of the already slated cuts.

One Labour councillor who lost her seat, Nabeela Mowlana, told Now Then that local representatives in #Sheffield had been treated as "collateral damage" by party leadership. She joined re-elected councillor @mineshparekh.bsky.social in calling on Keir Starmer to resign. ✍️ @sammgreg.bsky.social

this really does make me despair. this is a woman who has just got elected as a Reform councillor. she works for the NHS and wants to know “where the money is going”. it’s going on social care, babe

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

It's days like today when i think that I don't really understand people

Bloody Europeans, meddling in our carcinogenic farming practices, saving our lives by standing up to poor industry practices. 🤬 #Brexitbenefits www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm attending a Net Zero event tomorrow, so of course I've just had my reminder email which has transport details aimed *exclusively* for those arriving by car. Folks, we are in a lot of trouble 😂

Wu!!!!

In case you had any remaining doubt that these are the worst people

That tree should have been wearing hi-viz. Trees need to take more responsibility. You can't expect car drivers to anticipate trees hanging around on pavements.

I got inside a European AI energy summit in Brussels last month, and the mood among gas industry players was buzzing. The UK and EU are about to unveil regs determining whether Europe's AI boom can be gas powered - even if its a disaster for the climate. Will they bow to Big Tech pressure? More👇

Sound on for this video. While on our bikes, @helenczerski.bsky.social and I saw a delivery robot go off the curb, and the rest is below…

This is so bleak, esp as the q (only residential streets) is such a low bar. Most injuries and deaths happen on more main roads, and these are where 20mph is most needed. Other cities are getting there, like London, Edinburgh, much of Wales…

Keep getting sent job ads by companies offering very good rates for writers etc to review and refine AI generated material so it's fit for human consumption I see we're at the 'having to pay creatives to avoid having to pay creatives' stage of the AI boom. Can't imagine a more efficient system.

It’s peppered with hope without feeling glib, occasionally witty without being gimmicky, and harrowing without leaving you fully numb. @nebriefing.bsky.social's brilliance lies in the simple fact that it is harder to ignore than it is to respond to. ✍️ @lucygavaghan.bsky.social

Reform: The Party Made by the Worst People in Britain For the Worst People in Britain

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

Yesterday, we hosted a live screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. Throughout the film, UK scientists issued stark warnings about the climate crisis. Here are just a few responses made by our audience members following the film. @nebriefing.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework is leading us the wrong way! 🚧 Grantham Associate, @joannagavins.bsky.social, argues the #SDGs framework is damaging to people and the planet, as it links #EconomicGrowth with prosperity. Read her article to find out more ⬇️ tinyurl.com/7nf4scw7

Got a good idea about #Sheffield and fancy writing for Now Then? ✍️ We've recently updated our 'Write for Us' page to set out more clearly the kinds of pieces we're looking to publish. Give it a read, and get in touch with your ideas ⬇️

Not many tickets left. Join us tomorrow @granthamcsf.bsky.social

So Kemi Badenoch today continued her “fuel Britainnia” campaign to extract “every last drop” of oil and gas from the North Sea, by visiting a company whose oil executive owner has so far donated more than £250,000 to the Conservatives since she became its leader bylinetimes.com/2026/03/30/k...

Would you like to see my DIY film about wildfires and community action? It’s showing in Sheffield uni tomorrow (Tue 31 March) at 6:30pm £Free! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fires-and-... @sheffieldfoe.bsky.social @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social @sheffielducu.bsky.social @transsafetynetshef.bsky.social

‘Free’ public transport is in most cases bad use of taxpayer money. (And suggesting it may add to the urban/rural divide, as in many rural areas there simply isn’t any public transport left.)

📢 Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing. In this film, scientists explain the climate & nature crisis — and what it means for food, health, weather & cost of living. A panel discussion will also explore how our Uni should respond to the crisis. Book here: tinyurl.com/4j3uwtx5

This is excellent work 👏 and points to a wider problem in Combined Authorities that there isn't enough separation between statutory duties and Mayoral comms.

Silver Lining.

Was asked to appear on the radio, to discuss Zack Polanski's previous job of offering hypnotherapy for breast enlargement While unavailable for this obvious hit piece, if you're legit worried about 'politicians saying/doing things that aren't evidence based', there are far more prominent examples

Bizarrely not one mention of cycling to work. You can even get a tax break to do it. @theguardian.com

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge. A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
