AI-generated 'workslop' is here. It's killing teamwork and causing a multimillion dollar productivity problem, researchers say
Some 40% of people say they've received workslop in the last month.

🌳 The communities of the Niger Delta have had their farmland and water POISONED.
And now Shell has sold off their onshore assets in the Niger Delta, meaning they could just walk away.

Just 13% of homes built in England and Wales in 2024 had heat pumps installed (58% had gas boilers).
New homes are by far the easiest part of the home heating puzzle to solve; regulations that prevent the installation of high-carbon heating in new homes should be a Government priority.

The Israeli authorities have illegally banned all aid and goods into Gaza for two months.
This constitutes a genocidal act, a blatant form of unlawful collective punishment, and the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
