Ladybird books have always had their finger on the pulse for the young reader. I swear by them.

So there’s an Odyssey movie coming out this summer, they released a new trailer, and I laughed WAY TOO HARD at this comment… (As someone who has had to read both works multiple times…)

Cycling to work reduces risk of death by up to 20%. Copenhagen gives cyclists tax incentives to commute because their productivity is higher (less days off sick). This stuff should not be controversial. Politicians really need to step up on active travel #cycling

Vote Reform. Get concentration camps.

Poland is often seen as Europe's coal stronghold. In 2000, coal generated 94% of its electricity. But something remarkable is happening: Coal's share has fallen to 50%. Wind+solar, non-existent 15yrs ago, now generate 1/4 of electricity. More in my newsletter. Sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com

Once renewables are built, they deliver power regardless of what happens in the Gulf. Energy security and clean energy are the same argument. 🎙️Was on Al Jazeera's Counting the Cost this week on how the Iran war is reshaping global energy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdv1...

Wow! More than double the volume of gas cut off due to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz is being wasted each year because countries are failing to deal with methane leaks and unnecessary flaring, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says.

Landed in Yerevan, Armenia, for the 8th European Political Community Summit. This is the first time a non-European nation has taken part. Bound by shared values, Canada is working with our European partners to create more certainty, security, and prosperity for all our peoples.

Almost 100% of new cars sold in Norway last year were electric. Not just because of oil wealth. Because of carbon taxes, EV incentives, and thirty years of consistent policy. New newsletter: Norway: The World's Most Instructive Energy Paradox janrosenow.substack.com/p/norway-the...

Today is Harper Lee’s 100th birthday. Born in a small town in Alabama, where her father worked as a lawyer. Years later, she turned the world she knew into a novel about the difficult bravery of doing what is right when the world refuses to do so. ⏰📚💙🎧📚🖋️ #books #reading #writers #HarperLee #book

"Merz also said he not see what exit ​strategy the U.S. was pursuing in the Iran war- comments that underlined deep divisions between Washington and its European NATO allies, which ​had already been festering over Ukraine and other issues." www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians whose lives were taken during the Armenian Genocide, and we honor the generations who continue to tell their stories. In Los Angeles, this history lives within our neighborhoods, our culture, and our shared identity.

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

#29FestivalMálaga #DespuésDeKim es una película muy convencional y un tanto "antigua" en su forma que cuenta con dos interpretaciones disfrutables de Ozores y Grandinetti. Resulta más estimulante cuando se centra en la relación de estos y más plomiza en su parte más thriller.

‘Quality of life’ isn’t a big house, luxury goods or a fancy car. It’s being able to cycle your kids on safe streets or run side by side down peaceful roads with your friends. Everyone can & should have this.

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality goes far beyond the bicycle. It begins by reclaiming public space and reducing the dominance of private cars to make room for cities that are accessible, attractive and alive with possibility. Bikes aren’t the end goal, they’re just the means to get us there.

¡Por fin! At last!

195 years ago, on the 11th of April 1831, the Lewis chessmen were first exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland shortly after being rediscovered. The pieces wee made between 1150 and 1200 and commonly believed to have been made in Norway. #otd #history 🗃️
