It's just damn weird how apps are adding shiny flashing buttons saying "Use AI!" Writing a to-do list, why not let AI help you? Looking at a PDF, have you considered involving AI in this process somehow? BACK OFF GUYS.

TONITE! TONITE!

Here's something you don't hear very loudly - DESNZ and Ofgem reckon that the massive grid work to get to net zero might not actually add much to the cost of a unit of electricity simply because there'll be so much more of it being shipping around. (Report from Regen)

Damnit I accidentally bought a megaphone for happy people not the one for angry people.

Just a guy hanging off some railings in delight at seeing the first solar array I worked on made real by BigSolarCoop and Derbyshire Dales Community Energy. Making renewables for community benefit makes me happy.

When you hear 'net negative' being bandied around our region's climate policy then remember it means that policy's been captured by the bioenergy con industry behind this: independent.co.uk/news/world/ame… #axedrax

Ok here we go, cancel York's outer ring road upgrade 🤞 do it!

When we build bigger roads, we get more traffic. Congestion briefly gets better, then the same, then worse. £Billions is spent in the process. Instead of dualling roads, what if we used the space for active travel instead? Here’s a thread on why it should happen.🧵

"The idea that there is 'two-tier policing' is complete nonsense"

Twitter always good for a quick bit of fishing to dredge up some engagement from climate denier lunks.

Netpol (account inactive) Not only did #spycops target the left far more than the right, they put far more officers into anti-fascist groups than fascist ones. In 2011 the head of spycops units said the EDL don't even count as 'domestic extremists', let alone get spied on theguardian.com/uk/2011/sep/02…

2/16 My @NowThenMag investigation uncovered @YorkshirePost conference sponsorship by Drax, preferential treatment of Drax employee speakers, and a reliance on Drax-issued press releases in ~1/2 of @YorkshirePost articles on Drax – many flatter Drax. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/yorks…

Guardian Environment Not active here The government really has to end the ludicrous pretence that burning wood is carbon neutral. It takes up to 50 years for the forests Drax is clearcutting to re-grow. Far too slow when we’re facing deadly climate tipping points right now.

“widely accepted and internationally recognised approach to carbon accounting” = the loophole we're milking on a scale never anticipated, endangering everyone. #AxeDrax The Yorkshire Post Dennis Recla

Hey Russell Hobbs - for a small fee I could teach your design department how pie charts work. As a small free sample: 65% is less than three-quarters!
