A question for Times columnist Sebastian Payne: What is this cheaper source of "energy" that you speak of? The world's energy experts would like to know…

We are in the foothills of a solar-wind-battery civilisation. This is our best chance of avoiding catastrophe. But it threatens the profits of fossil fuel companies & nations - so these are pouring money into right-wing populism to stop the transition. This seems to me the biggest story in politics.

I still have not cruised past Judge Young's ruling in American Association of University Professors v. Rubio. This 89-year-old Reagan appointee zeroes in the most horrifying reason why ICE must be abolished: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69784...

This is how blatantly the #BBC and other news favours Reform. This is appalling and unbalanced and needs addressing NOW. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

I'm delighted to have a post up on A Personal Anthology, and many thanks to @jonathangibbs.bsky.social ! It also happens to be my first substack as I just reposted it... substack.com/profile/7377...

Net Zero: saving our world and saving money. Now there's a win-win - if only voters knew about it. "New modelling from BloombergNEF suggests investing just 0.7 per cent of GDP in the net zero transition could unlock huge financial savings - and avert a rolling climate crisis."

Reform UK are yelling “drill, baby, drill” 🙄 But fracking is reckless & won’t even cut bills. Time to end this nonsense. Tell Ed Miliband: BAN FRACKING permanently. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...

Really pleased to have framed illustrations of my books to keep inspiring me! Many thanks to Hugo Barros and @michellehughes.bsky.social

A sweet relief to feel the rain. A neighbour farmer usually makes 250 big round hay bales - & gets two cuts. This year, there’ll be one cut, & the grass so sparse he’s made just 75 bales. Winter fodder was already being fed weeks ago & these mares & foals on winter pasture. Hope for an autumn flush.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year. Y'all this isn't sustainable.

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

We have to be purposeful about ending the use of fossil fuels because they’re not going to end themselves anytime soon. While wind and solar are cheaper, they are not as profitable. Therein lies the problem.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

For anyone thinking of voting Reform these comments are very illuminating. 🧵

This is such a beautiful cover! I am so proud every time I see it. @michellehughes.bsky.social @aurorametro.bsky.social Also very proud to have won the Virginia Prize for Fiction with this novel. #booksky #virginiaprizeforfiction

There’s a replica of a Spanish galleon moored in the Bristol harbour this weekend, and it is really very big

Last week, my local indie-bookshop was devastated by fire (info in alt-text). They’re hoping to reopen in temporary (much smaller) premises nearby, but to help tide them over, please consider buying a book from their page at uk.bookshop.org/shop/onetree.... Thank you! @bigbeardedbookseller.com

Some 92% of Reform's donations have come from the fossil fuel industry or businesses and individuals associated with the fossil fuel industry.

Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who worked on the criminal cases of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and also a prosecutor in the recent trial of Sean Combs, was fired Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Capital demands that: 1. The government must strip away sensible rules which prevent businesses from attacking the public good. 2. The government must constrain *itself* with insanely restrictive pledges, such as Rachel Reeves's fiscal rules. 3. Protesters challenging capital must be locked up.

"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.
