Simple rule: Stop setting carbon on fire to make energy. It ain't sustainable.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today. The system is rigged.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

One week to go for the national demonstration called by UCU (@ucu.org.uk) against the planned redundancies at the University of Leicester. Please come and march alongside us in Leicester on 12 November. All welcome!

for all y’all Brits out there, please consider for a moment what it’s like for your Black and Brown friends to hear this sort of stuff being said by *elected representatives*

Earth's crust extracted from the mantle post-3.5 Ga - revealed by these exquisite Laser Ablation Sr isotope maps. Great example new technology yielding new information about the Earth. Also the lowest 87/86Sr ever measured on Earth (0.700050)!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We see something similar in the UK. Most benefits go to people IN WORK. Because there are not enough properly paid jobs. Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t. Welfare was not meant to support employers. This is wrong

Benefit facts: Most people who receive benefits are in work. Taxpayers support employers who don’t pay decent wages. The welfare system was not set up to benefit employers who don’t pay decent wages.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

This @royalsociety.org report has not received nearly the attention it deserves.

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost! Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members. That's +26,000 members in the last week. Hope is feeling normal again....

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Provisional 2024 UK greenhouse gas emissions on a residence basis decreased by 0.5% compared with 2023. UK emissions were 476 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) in 2024 (provisional), 43.3% below 1990 levels, the first year for which we have data. www.ons.gov.uk/economy/envi...

When continents became a thing, they might have changed the ocean in a fundamental way. All those minerals being eroded and turning into dissolved ions, which found their way into the ocean, where alkalinity and pH subsequently increase. 🧪⚒️ Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Darwin's geological training shaped his scientific identity. He took classes from professors on opposite sides of a major geological debate. One was dull, the other exciting-but he learned a lot from both, and from field excursions in Wales. #Histsci 🗃️ #geology daily.jstor.org/mad-about-ge...

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space… …with widely-held public opinions… …tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.
