This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion

Jimmy Carter had to gave up his peanut farm to avoid any conflicts of interest while president. The Obamas were forbidden to refinance their home while he was in office. Donald Trump has made over 21,000 stock trades while in office, often using his office to manipulate markets.

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

Physicist & chemist Marie Curie was the: + First woman to win a Nobel Prize + First person & only woman to win twice + Only person to ever win a Nobel Prize in 2 different sciences: Physics (1903) & Chemistry (1911) Marie Skłodowska Curie died #OTD in 1934. #WomenInSTEM

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)

You know this heatwave? Get used to it This is how it is now because generations before us wouldn’t heed warnings about climate change Oh, and those data centers they want to build are are building? Yeah, that’s going to make this much much worse.

What a beauty.

Humans should not be forced off pavements by delivery robots, but that's exactly what's happening. The people who pay the price are those with the least room to give it up.

Remember scientists aren’t giving up. After the Trump administration redirected Climate.gov and dismissed many of the federal employees who maintained it, former staff members launched a new independent website called Climate.us to help keep trusted climate information available to the public.

Sheffield - I love the city that I now call home. Okay, there are some predictable recommendations for what makes Sheffield such a super place to visit (and live). But this article is just scratching the surface. There is so much more to Sheffield than meets the eye. #Sheffield

The thing is, Mamdani's position is the only correct position for anyone who truly believes in the universality of human rights, not to mention the best framework for a durable peace. And people keep asking him like he's some sort of freak for holding it. And he keeps answering. Good for him.

For months, I've been training and fundraising for my 13 mile charity trek for the @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social. And then the heat wave arrived. ARRRGH. But we did it - thank you @heleddhaf.bsky.social. Happy times, after a gruelling 6 hours and 38 minutes! 💪🙏💪 www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

So it turns out the massive scandal here is that Bridget Phillipson's mum bought a council house for £9k in 1990 and then sold it *33 years* later for £99k. That's the entire story

Any questions? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Why oh Why? Short-termism, I guess. Yes, in the short run this costs money. In the long-term, it saves money. It could even make money and help finance clean electricity. Can we really afford to ignore heat waves any longer? 🥵🥵🥵

Today's fundraising walk with abt 2000 people for @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social in the #PeakDistrict was great. And tough: 13 miles, in this heat. Huge thank you for the superb organisation, care, support and atmosphere. An epic day - 🙏 to my sponsors too! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

I already signed and shared the petition. Gentle nudge to make your voice heard!

Shocking news about the threat of redundancy at Exeter. Social Sciences and the Arts & Humanities are particularly affected. We need urgent action from the government, before we lose something so highly regarded, so precious, so valuable, forever. c.org/gnXVbC4KNy #HigherEducation #Redundancy

"Transport for London (TfL) says it has doubled the size of wildflower verges across its road network in just two years, expanding them to more than 520,000 square metres — roughly 100 Trafalgar Squares — as part of efforts to boost biodiversity and make London more resilient to climate change."

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

It's a scandal that we are being told - the country made their decision 10 years ago, so we can't have another vote, ever. That's not how democracy works. Especially when so many people have changed their minds. #Rejoin #Europe

I love my neighbours. On Saturday the whole road devised a rescue plan for a grey squirrel that had been chased up a lamp post by a cat and refused to come down. Today a peacock walks round our gardens, looking rather lost. The rescuers are out and about again, in full force. #LifeinSheffield

Oh, this put a smile on my face, in the sweltering heat. (And I immediately sympathised - argh, this shark costume must be so hot ... forgetting that other countries deal so much better with the heat than us, in the UK).

It's all happening. 13 miles. This Saturday, 27 June. In that awful heat. It won't be a walk in the park, but I'll try my hardest to get to the finish line. In loving memory of my late mother, for @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social #fundraising #charity #heatwave www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

An exceptional heatwave is developing this week with record-breaking June temperatures highly likely, particularly for England and Wales 🌡️ Following the heat in May 2026, it would be the first time since 1911 that two consecutive months have observed record temperatures

One detail in this fascinating BBC investigation into the Russia-instigated attack on Keir Starmer's home is the way it shows, in passing but very clearly, that Tommy Robinson is to all intents and purposes a Russian asset. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Teaching people to draw is teaching people to look.”

Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire. And we know he does not do any philanthropic work. Imagine hoarding that much wealth while so many are suffering.

Who better to speak out on matters of national security than someone whose close colleague is currently in prison for taking bribes from Russia?

"The closer you look at the SpaceX IPO, the more it looks like Musk’s ill-fated Doge," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "All of it is arbitrary – based on the hype and will of one man with a giant ego and an insatiable thirst for money and power."

Musician and painter Joni Mitchell (with artist David Hockney...RIP) #WomensArt

Between 1997 and 2013, David Hockney embarked on one of the most celebrated periods of his career, returning to his native Yorkshire to paint the landscapes of the East Yorkshire Wolds. Leaving behind the sun-drenched swimming pools and urban scenes of Los Angeles, he turned

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

Reform don’t do the job. Rob Kenyon, #Makerfield Reform UK candidate was elected a Wigan councillor a month ago. He’s not attended a single meeting or done a single piece of work on it. Nigel Farage was elected MP for Clacton. He’s spent 2 years anywhere but Clacton.

We shouldn’t have to travel to other cities on holidays to experience smart city-building for people. It should be allowed in OUR cities. #UrbanTruth

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick" Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause and kick Palantir out of our NHS.

Nigel Farage hasn’t been a member of a union his whole life. He’s had nothing but borderline hatred for them his entire career. He’s also quoted as saying “Reform would go to war with these left wing teaching unions”. Meanwhile councillors like Darren Grimes constantly air contempt for unions.
