Imagine a future where you can always swap out broken parts instead of throwing the whole thing out. That's the future we want—and we're fighting for it.

I have a senior role at my company, have attended many leadership training seminars, and learned all the leadership philosophies and buzzwords. None of them work as well as simply asking myself "what would an arsehole do in this situation?" and then doing the exact opposite.

Really enjoying reading the second #pandominion book.
I highly recommend the first one for any sci-fi readers that haven't come across it.

Read my piece in today’s Indy about this madcap proposal for postcode energy pricing. I argue that Greg Jackson’s solution to high energy bills is a pipe dream.

Is this really the argument against a wealth tax?
Why do we tax money made with a pair of hands differently to money made with money
Gary Stevenson perfectly explains how Billionaires can afford to pay more.

Good morning lovely folks in the UK. I am on the other side of the planet but I know you've been having some very sunny weather.
How do I know this I hear you all ask.
Look at the energy generated by our solar array yesterday. In mid March!
Enough electricity to drive an average EV 250 miles!
