My thanks to #Tolkien for all the ways he has enriched my life. Further thanks to the Tolkien Society et al who ensure that his is a living legacy. Hobgoblin as is my custom.

It's really funny how America and the UK stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God.

The renewable energy future at all scales must be unionized

Happy Birthday Professor.

Your myths have echoed in time.
Your legends have shed light.
Your stories have gifted meaning.

2023 was a year of record-breaking strikes, and the many union contracts that expire in 2024 point to another year of possible significant labor unrest.

Happy birthday to Jonathan the tortoise, who was born in the same decade that John Brown first conceived of what would become the raid at Harper’s Ferry

- Roads can't tolerate the weight
- Rail has vastly less friction & mains power = way more efficient
- Subways don't get stuck in traffic
- Can't blow a tire / no tire dust
- Rail permanence increases investment

“It’s perfectly possible to put a credible offer at any time. We will engage in talks at any time.” Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 tells Newsnight that doctors are ready to negotiate, however the Government is delaying talks during strikes as a policy they themselves have imposed.
