Surprisingly accurate predictions apart from the clothing - mind you, 1993 wasn’t all that long ago

Long shot, but if anyone in North #Oxford has lost a tortoise with a surprising turn of speed in the heat, do get in touch..

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Also it’s just not true, there are streets named after US Presidents in cities all over the world. I used to head into Tbilisi from the airport on George W. Bush Avenue, while he was still in office I’m sure.

It’s getting colder and the nights are drawing in. #winteriscoming

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

More shade in this sentence than at the Great American State Fair

Dear non-Europeans: when Brits talk about how it's impossible to install AC because their walls are six layers of bricks, three layers of stone, one layer of dragon bone and one layer of adamantine, they mostly speak for themselves.

I see AC as pretty much in the same category as EVs. They are both badly required but also "required" can mean many things Minimising demand for them is good, but requires long-term structural change. Ensure those who need them get them in the short-term, to save lives www.wri.org/insights/eur...

Oh yeah

I don’t know if this comes across in photos but I love how this rose bush has three clusters of flowers each in a different shade of pink. #bloomsky

Or, now bear with me here, parasol? 🙄

Get the sense the BBC commentary team are a bit biased 🙄 #GERECU

I especially love this diagram.

New video out. This time we are talking EVs (and a little e-bikes). Main point: if you are going to get a car, the EV is the no regret option. youtu.be/4Wey8MoiLtE?...

Amused by South East Water seeming to be constantly surprised that people expect them to supply water. "What, through pipes? Is that still a thing we do?"

THIS Also the number of people I know who think buying a “self-charging” hybrid is somehow saving the planet

The Moscow Stock Exchange is in freefall. Rosstat's manipulated numbers STILL show the largest weekly gasoline price jump in 20 years. Putin is being warned to cancel September elections due to how bad things are. Panic is rapidly spreading in Russia. And it will get worse.

Well this is a huge turn up for the books

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

Air-to-air heat pump is air conditioning my home; drawing on power generated by solar panels; which also charge domestic batteries, which can keep powering the AC at night time. I can thankfully cool my home in this weather without importing any electricity, in fact I’m exporting excess to the grid.

UK Labour ARE YOU LISTENING?

Got a new Dell Laptop at work & it comes with a COPILOT KEY next to the right Alt button. I thought OK, I can surely disable this key or remap it to Ctrl. Oh my friends, no. I was foolish. Searching for help came across this, Dell agents aren't even allowed to discuss remapping the copilot key.

Do we think this t-shirt is trolling? 🤔

THE EURO IS THE TOYSHOP NOT THE DENTIST

This is a much better guide to where the EU stands than random comments by individuals, even Michel Barnier or Terri Reintke, and yet even this is an oversimplification. Steve @guitarmoog.bsky.social and I discuss the issue in our #shitversary podcast, here: cakewatch.fireside.fm/tenyearslater

It hurts that this comes in any way as a surprise

TIL that cobalt is named after kobolds

It’s 112 years since Edward Thomas took a journey during which his train came to an unexpected halt. (Four days later Archduke Franz Ferdinand met his own unscheduled stop, which, one way and another, also brought a premature end to Edward Thomas)

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."

A reminder of this day in 2016, from The Decade In Tory

“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” - ChatGPT

Belgium is climate ready! (translation in the alt text)

Your regular reminder that access to air conditioning in a warming world is not a moral failing but a moral imperative. Climate action is fundamentally about SAVING LIVES. And we can reduce its impact via renewables, efficiency (eg, heat pumps), and other adaptation (shade, green/cool roofs, etc).

So Aneurin Barnard, our Rogue Trooper, is out here in Annecy, to help promote the film at the festival and went proper HERO today, chasing down, rugby tackling & holding a bag snatcher who had robbed a little old lady in front of him today. Held him till police arrived and then gave the handbag
