Giant baubles have bounced down the streets of London, disrupting traffic before causing a glittery explosion. High winds swept up the baubles that were part of an art installation by Tom Shannon, supposed to be on display in London's St Giles' Square until Friday.

For 40 years, nuclear power was expanding exponentially, ushering in a new era of clean & reliable power. Then in 1989, it hit a wall. What really happened? … 🧶 …

The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen... has indeed happened...

Unlimited regional public transport across Germany will cost €49/month next year. The digital 'Deutschlandticket' will be available on a monthly basis from January. Aim of the '€49-Ticket' is to cut C02 emissions and help people with the cost of living.

If you have a trip or a fall in public, pretend you meant to do to avoid any embarrassment.

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny nos.nl/l/2451147

Most people I know in the media view this as hysteria. They simply will not face just how serious it is - which means it’s not reported with the adequate conviction or urgency, as if to do so would be a sign of weakness. The media is failing so spectacularly. #ClimateCrisis

you know what? I've been pretty hard on Elon, but this website actually shows he's done a lot of good: eIonmusk.org

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27: We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator. Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We need urgent #ClimateAction.

THIS: “Climate models have projected very smooth changes, whereas the real world is suffering rapid regional changes. The rise in globally averaged temperature is a useful metric of how far climate change has got, but it doesn’t bring home the message.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

25 years of my adult life’s (secret-ish) fandom, encapsulated in two minutes 🥲

Europe is insanely warm right now. It has never been this warm so late in the year for some. Can't believe it is only 43 days until Christmas.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet. “Anyone know who owns this?” “Unplug it. Someone will show up.” Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from George Monbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.

Tukholmaan esitetään fossiilimainoskieltoa! Jatkossa esim. öljy🛢- ja lentoyhtiöt🛩 eivät siis voisi mahdollisesti enää mainostaa Tukholman kaduilla. Tässä ketjussa, miksi kielto todella tarvitaan myös Suomen kaupunkeihin. 🧵

Oikein. Hienosti toimittu.

I think this is the attitude towards hard work that many of my generation and younger have. Mission, good people and upside (financial you can negotiate but you have to be changing things for the better) are crucial for commitment. This is where Twitter 2.0 fails.

So long and thanks for all the tweets.
