Approximately 50% of Kenya’s electricity generated is geothermal, which is impressive. But it’s also only about 940MW. And 86% of *energy* used is from burning fuels.

I did share this somewhere else, with a link. And www.travischapmanart.com did make a sale out of it, so…

Ivanisevic vs British press should be a full length documentary, after he lost in 5 sets to Sampras in the Wimbledon final a reporter asked "how do you feel" and Goran said " Amazing, incredible, it was always my childhood dream to lose again and again at Wimbledon"

London’s bridges are literally falling down, flyovers, tunnels too. I’m reminded of @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social blog on potential to save & reimagine Rotherhithe 🙏. Especially now a new tunnel purpose built for motor vehicles is open. We need a strategic approach cityinfinity.co.uk/2024/08/05/r...

Ban grouse shooting. It’s the only proportionate response.

Growing up across the political spectrum and in media they were labelled as thugs. In today's media landscape they are "protestors" with "concerns".

My favourite FB memory

This terrifies me because there is a huge lack of political discussion about how to mitigate this beyond 'have more money lol'. Three-quarters of workers not on track for 'moderate' pension income, report suggests - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was a terrible, awful day in the UK yesterday. Gut punch after gut punch for people who are uncomfortable with fascism. Take care of one another today moots.

Anyway, glad I reread the book about mobs outside of police stations. There’s a whole bunch of terrible people and people who made terrible decisions who’ve led us here.

Fuck's sake, seriously. Anyway, if you want a real one, fill your boots. Off for a cry. What a shit week. noscoredraws.com/collections/...

In our latest paper with @manonberger.bsky.social, Lester Kwiatkowski, and @bopplaurent.bsky.social, we show that if we properly account for iron limitation and nutrient competition with phytoplankton, growing seaweed isn't really an effective technique for removing atmospheric CO₂. 🌊🧪

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

Fantastic tune. (I saw it premiered in “England’s village hall” back in April) youtu.be/O8riNobpEyg

The Guardian: doesn’t like this: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The Obama Presidential Center campus has "turned a pleasant but quiet corner of Jackson Park into one of the best urban spaces in the city, maybe second only to Millennium Park," writes Lee Bey.

My dad: We have a Canada goose nesting on our roof. Me: No, you don’t, that’s not typical behavior. My dad: Sure.

I noticed an elderly woman using a mobility scooter on my bike route was always getting jammed up and walked over and missing her chance at crosswalks. I bought and installed a horn on her handlebars that sounds like a train. I just saw her scare the pants off like six people and then scoot on by! ✌️

A plan to build a new town that would effectively merge Bristol and Keynsham has moved a step nearer reality. Full story here: www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

The SpaceX IPO is basically sub-prime mortgages in space.

I didn't have "Husker Du member reviews motorway service stations" on my 2026 bingo card.

The sooner we ban new gas hookups and prohibit gas utilities from spending ratepayer money on lobbying the better off we'll be.

We only went and won it!! 🎉🎉🎉 A newsletter has just won the biggest prize in British journalism Absolutely delighted. Huge thanks to Khadija and to all Democracy for Sale’s supporters 😊

A random wish list regulatory thought of mine is that streaming services should be required to host the entirety of a country’s public broadcasting channel and archives in order to stream in that country.

”People who care the most about the environment also do the most environmental damage with their jet-setting lifestyle, at least among those with the highest income and education.” This is why I choose to #eMTB to rivers and live sufficiently. www.newscientist.com/article/2527...

So I was curious if you can see across Lake Ontario and the answer is yes

Worst thing is they still put in those things to stop you lying down across the seats. Can’t remember the proper name for them: ?maybe “fellow passengers”

I found the post from when they added the ability to copy text from alt text, celebrating the change. What changed between then and now that they think people don't want that useful ability anymore?? Why remove functionality from the site??? What is the point?????

Google it. My word.

OK, having learned this fact from The Telegraph’s foremost Proust scholar, I am now singing a mildly repurposed version of O-Zone’s 2003 summer smash which I’m calling Madeleine din tei.

What I like about Rotterdam is that there is the talent, civic confidence and political will to take buildings that are typical of the place but that many would consider ugly and reimagine them as places full of colour, fun, learning and culture. It feels authentic and unique.

Genuine question: what are examples of when money markets tanked a currency/increased rates because traders didn’t like how it affected them personally?

I mean, to be fair, if the largest city (partly) in Europe can move its equally large airport to a new site, then moving Heathrow to Stansted and redeveloping it is well overdue.

People just say things on the internet, I guess.

How to make tea, the right way

Herons don't consider it flying unless on your downbeat your wingtip slices the water surface 💦 Everything else is just lolling around in the air.

Absolutely grim read but the failures that caused this are happening all over the UK right now. Every single service demands full advocacy and they don’t care how they get it, and many fall through the cracks if there’s a power imbalance or no one to speak out for the vulnerable.
