This Reform leaflet from three Gateshead candidates looks like a timelapse of the same person

This seems to be going under the radar and really shouldn’t be. It’s terrifying. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Haha this is very validating

1/7 I’m a Green Party councillor for City Ward #Sheffield. It’s a densely populated urban ward. I’m going to talk about digital advertising screens, which doesn’t sound exciting, but please bear with me. I want to explain why I spend time objecting to so many of these. Since 2023, I’ve …

Let's not be #FossilFools and distract from drive for #Renewables, our energy future. " Even in the most optimistic scenario, and assuming none of its gas is exported, Jackdaw would provide just 2% of UK demand over its nine- to 12-year lifetime.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As someone that works a four day week, I cannot recommend it enough. If AI is going to make us all so much more efficient, having a better work-life balance is surely the next logical step. fortune.com/article/is-a...

We are in our second fossil energy crisis in less than half a decade. The political discussion is about how we can extract more fossil fuels, encouraging our consumption of them, and avoiding any discussion about reduced use. We are just not serious people.

Where is the U.K. equivalent of this??:

If this is an AI-made April Fool’s joke, it is *incredibly* cruel. #Rejoin

Alternative advice: If you can cycle to work / schools / shops but don’t, start looking at what routes would feel safest. If you don’t have a bike, look at buying one, maybe via the Cycle to Work scheme. news.sky.com/story/politi...

HISTORIC HEAT WAVE IN AUSTRALIA Insane Minimum 32.2C at Port Hedland yesterday. It's the hottest night ever recorded in the whole Southern Hemisphere this time of the year. April will start smashing thousands of records in Australia,South America and South Africa. Mind blowing.

Fun fact (real fun this time): If we set science based sustainable building standards CO2 / resource limits, we’ll be building and reftrofitting affordable, healthy, super-efficient and safe straw-wood-clay houses.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If I were Ed Miliband and gas prices open very strongly tomorrow morning (likely they will) then I would get a proper media blitz going. The line of protecting the economy from foreign energy conflicts works really well during foreign energy conflicts.

Seriously, who designed this. Own up.

If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. 👇🏻

Doesn’t seem to be being noted overly widely, but today is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday. That’s either terrible luck for him, or some pretty incredible trolling by the local police.

I strikes me that instead of building energy hungry data centres for AI, we could be building local factories to produce straw panels and actually help solve the climate crisis

Can confirm that this book is absolutely worth the full price, let alone with the discount.

I’d wager even the ducks are getting weary of this now.

Delighted to be reselected along with Jamie Anderson & Hedley Sugar-Wells as @nclgreenparty.bsky.social’s candidates for Byker. From litterpicks to cutting bills, tackling antisocial fireworks & backing local groups, we’ve worked hard. Much more to do! Elect this team of three on May 7th.

If you like 20th century UK history, this is a great podcast series. If you’ve ever wondered about the decimalisation of the pound or why we’re still partly stuck with inches, pints and miles, this one is well worth a listen.

What makes a building good? My good friend @ecominimalnick.bsky.social and Jon Broom have distilled decades of experience between them to write this book. Recommended for anyone interested in efficient, elegant sustainable design

This is absolutely brilliant. Although I suspect there may be others in the architecture industry who disagree.

Nick Clegg: "Nigel Farage's great achievement in life is a disaster for this country, and no one holds him to account."

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The world as we knew it has gone.  But we can influence what comes next.  Rejoining the EU is no longer an academic issue nor a decision borne of nostalgia.  It’s a matter of political necessity Me with Dominic Grieve for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social @europeanmovement.co.uk ▶️ buff.ly/YvqAyV8

We don't need a Faragist revolution of simplism, stupidity and bringing back The Good Owld Days™, but maybe we do need to tap into the disruption mindset and call for a revolution of sorts - a liberal one - that throws out the Lords, the voting system, and much else besides.

A modest thing, but Khan's Summer Streets scheme last year (closing off traffic and allowing biz to take over once a month) packed out Atlantic Rd in Brixton, where they laid on sound systems and loads of free stuff. You didn't *have* to spend money, but a lot of people seemed to.

Traitors prediction: - Matty and Rachel are related (siblings)? - Matty knows Rachel is a traitor as she’s quietly let him know - Their plan is to recruit Matty, with Stephen then kicked out #TheTraitors

I’d really love to see more universities - who remain among the most wealthy organisations in many UK cities - being more creative in terms of building reuse. A major part of the university sector’s role is to be progressive and lead the way. www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Fiona is clearly related to Reece. She strode around picking up skulls at a glacial pace because she already knows she won’t murder him. #TheTraitors

In "aged like surströmming in a festival portaloo" news.

Presumably it’s a common assumption that everyone in #TheTraitors has gone in alongside someone else they know..? Has anyone figured out who each of the pairs are?

There are some pretty vile examples in Grok’s reply thread right now. No one in their right mind would want to put an image of themselves on there.
