This man is extremely unwell. He is a delusional maniac who lives in a complete fantasy world, constantly posting fantastically insane nonsense like this he sees online from imbeciles who are even more deranged than he is. How the country and our leaders are numb to this is terrifying, seriously.

Thanks Grumps! LibroFm libro.fm do audiobooks and you can choose to buy them from me from them, if you like?! Also THANKS again! There's always #buyastrangerabook www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi...

📢 Now #hiring: Education Manager Inspiring young people about nature and ensuring their voices are heard is vital to achieve the Society’s vision. We are looking for a motivated member of the team to manage our education offer: school workshops, outreach and more! buff.ly/2x2fDnD

If you feel "hamstrung" by human rights laws and by health and safety laws - you are the person those laws were designed to protect us against. You need to be obstructed by those laws. Also, she's lying.

As a university professor, my heart sinks. Children from poorer backgrounds desire so much better than this—from a Labour government especially.

Fuming 😡 Teacher: "you can usually tell the girls that want to do physics, they look a bit tomboy-ish" #WomenInSTEM #ASPIRES3 @iop.org

I went to an all-girls school, and when I was in 6th form, physics was the most popular A Level. My brother’s co-ed school, no girls did A level physics. I know correlation ≠ causation, and there were many other differences between the schools, but still…

The savings from jobs cut in Ireland could recoup at least half of the $40m budget Amazon sunk into making its new movie ‘Melania’.

Look, this is just textbook scientific method: Background: Phrenology is pseudoscience. Experiment: Dogs come in many shapes. Conclusion: I use phrenology to evaluate people. Discussion: Buy Huberdude supplements for neck girth and high T flow state optimization.

a heads up for Londoners! the Cinnamon Club is doing a deal til the end of the month where you can order a number of their dishes from their 2001 menu, crucially at 2001 prices friend and I just went for lunch and a two-course meal was £22 per person, mental

I don't think it was made to make money, weirdly, but as an elaborate act of sycophancy.

I’d even question the one million dollars.

We don’t need AI training sponsored by the tech firms selling it. We need AI education to help people understand what it can’t do, and what dangers lie ahead if you entrust your life to it

This seems bad.

Put community repair shops on every high street. Our work shows people love it, increases community interaction & helps people keep essential goods going for longer giving them more money to spend on food & utility bills It reduces waste and so reduces local authority costs. It is a win, win, win.

Early reviews are in: ‘Even if they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out’

to think that my last amazon purchase probably helped finance the Melania film is enough to never use them again

Mordor she wrote #LibraryShelfieDay

The UK's own Royal Society haven't exactly covered themselves in glory of late either so suspect the establishment here is just as bad.

Hmmm. Let's just say having seen how quickly the scientific leadership capitulated in the USA because they valued their grants and jobs over the integrity of science. There's no easy way to come back from that.

Sorry, but pubs are to get 100 million to help prop them up and school libraries have to fight over 5 million is it? Year of Reading? They're taking the piss.

Generate podcast??? Why the fuck is Adobe even giving me this option?? The document I have open is a receipt from the printers

her: I guess I'm looking for something of a Renaissance Man, you know? me (thinking of Vitruvian Man, slowly shifting my arms and legs to outline a perfect circle): Totally

I understand Labour faces a largely hostile media environment, but its inability to make a big splash with genuinely positive news remains unfathomable. Like the Warm Homes Plan last week, this will make a big difference to the finances and lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time. This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

Only the finest people surround Trump. As I've said from the start his supporters are a bunch of incel Pedos.

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of. And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice. But "vote for me!"

Reminder that British journalists have a weird fetish for Harry Potter because it's a fantasy world where nobody mentions how fucking weird it is that everybody was privately educated in just five schools

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

My grandmother, an uneducated refugee peasant in the mountains of Greece, was not the richest human in history. She taught me that risk comes, not from violence or greed, but from ceding power to people indifferent to causal history, which she considered a terminal intellectual flaw.

now I see why American books are often floppier

Good. It is a fight worth picking & will briefly distract them from fighting with each other.

Mocking someone's addiction relapse because they happen to be a Jewish person who treated Palestinians with a basic level of humanity is really really low. I honestly don't know how you can do that and still see yourself as a good person fighting the good fight.

Given the serious flooding in parts of Ireland today, people will be talking about climate change, but there aren’t many of us who do climate talks for kids. There needs to be *far more* effort and money put into making the subject engaging, accessible and hopeful for them. #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

Putting aside the other stuff, it was always a question even at its height if Harry Potter would join Narnia or Peter Pan as timeless classics or if it's a generational thing like 99% of popular books and I guess we are getting the answer

I read that "Why Gen Z doesn't like Harry Potter" article and trying to imagine someone writing 70 years ago a "Reasons Gen X are ignoring Biggles" article for the Times

Idiot from the Tony Bliar Institute on @bbc5live.bsky.social says renewables are increasing prices, when the opposite is true. If you want lower bills, electrify everything:

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Gotta love a homophobic dog whistle. Surprised it's not the Sun to be honest.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Bovino pricing flights to Buenos Aires.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Pretty sure that's more or less what Thomas Jefferson said in his letter to Williams Stevens Smith. You know, the letter about how the people have an equal obligation not to rise up against tyranny as tyranny has not to be tyrannical....

Digital detox is like "giving up smoking", something that's within the power of some individuals, but not for society as a whole. The majority of the decades-long progress on smoking cessation/reduction is policy, not willpower.

These companies chase their profit ambitions without due consultation with global communities on a resource we all share, utilise and should have a say in. Did anyone outside these companies and countries agree to having their sky pillaged? Is anyone of us going to get a slice of these profits?

There *absolutely* should have been an oversight body at the UN level (like in UNOOSA) that had the final say on approving the total number of satellites permitted per entity, per country, etc. This lack of oversight allowed one company (SpaxeX) to set the example for any company to bring us here.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

How much longer they might have gotten away with these murders while avoiding touching off this level of opposition, if only they hadn’t started killing white people
