Took a Waymo for the first time in SF today. Pretty #weirdcarbs by any measure. Surprisingly smooth, adaptive driving - car figured out we were stuck behind a truck parked in a turn lane only about 15 seconds after I did 😏

Do you have a lot of annoying admin tasks or household chores you need to accomplish, but never seem to find the time for? Then may I suggest: setting aside a day to do nothing but write, you will be amazed at how many such tasks you can accomplish.

From daily tracking of the Antarctic ozone hole to open-access data, CAMS helps protect the ozone layer, safeguarding people and planet. On the #WorldOzoneDay, we highlight CAMS’ role in global efforts towards ozone recovery. Read the article for insights 🔗 atmosphere.copernicus.eu/preserving-o...

Great. I can live with that.

I don't think we fully grasped yet how important solar will be as an energy source. Great graph @carbonbrief.org based on @iea.org data.

Rare spot in an English village: tidy green Daihatsu Copen. At least someone knows how to add gold tastefully… #weirdcarbs

“breaking news” kinda taking on two meanings lately

Il serait intéressant de voir comment les Néerlandais gèrent le problème, par exemple pour la course de F1 à Zandvoort www.bicycling.com/news/a449378...

It doesn't make profits, and possibly never will, but it makes billionaires. But don't you dare call it a bubble.

The Triumph Sport Six Club seems to be having a major rally in our village. This Courier breadvan looks like a commercial variant of the Herald.

Our beautiful president has taxed the poor, sent troops to stomp through playgrounds in California, opened up concentration camps, doubled the price of seemingly random goods for no discernible reason, and bombed a foreign country just to do it. And yet these ungrateful peasants are unhappy?

Commercial innovation methods can inform the search for sustainable funding for critical scientific research infrastructure. It was an honor to co-author this paper with @theresacrimmins.bsky.social describing the effort. #sciencefunding #climateresearch #biologicalinfrastructure

This. Just walked away from a purchase in Sussex over this issue (over two dozen rejections for flood cover, one quote at £3.5K!). There was genuine peril of financial ruin.

The spectacle of Musk exploiting proximity to presidential power to secure a Starlink deal in Saudi Arabia marks a profound collapse of ethic.. This is explicit oligarchy - the commodification of statecraft, auctioned to the highest bidder under the guise of global diplomacy. #3E #EndOligarchy

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated. Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history. If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it. Graph from @nathanielbullard.com - great newsletter

UK volume housebuilders predictably complaining about anything of benefit to the ultimate residents - like solar power - that will stop them building bog-standard, identikit rabbit hutches at speed, & selling for enormous prices Which is their preferred business model www.ft.com/content/e33c...

Global battery demand just hit 1 TWh ⚡—a major milestone in the energy transition. New data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reveals where the battle between NCM 🔋 and LFP 🔋 chemistries is heating up across key countries. The battery race is global—and it’s just getting started.

Climate laggard Poland? Not anymore - coal used to provide 95% of Polish electricity. Last year it was 53.5% with wind & solar providing almost one quarter. Source: @ember-energy.org

Even though UK fossil fuel extraction is on an inevitable decline, wind & solar build means under half of British electricity generation comes from imports now, compared to 65% in 2014 uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/renewab...

An exclusive extract for easter! (From this week’s @theguardian.com books)

I’ve said this for a while - housing is not a commodity, so more supply of any kind doesn’t reduce its price. It just goes into the rentier sector and helps almost no-one onto the ladder.

You get a lot of centrist YIMBY types going on about planning and "get government red tape out the way and just build build build!" but impossible to look at this graph and draw any conclusion other than "oh, shit, the shortfall is just state housing"

Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong. From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt. From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives. 🧵 1/16

Why drive to the airport when you could drive somewhere else to catch a plane to the airport? insideevs.com/news/757042/...

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.

Let me be extremely clear. The British supreme court ruling regarding trans people makes me ashamed. Trans people have always existed much like gravity and just like gravity they will continue to exist whether you believe in them or not.
