The BBC is utterly beholden to the right. Why else would it fear a podcast about heat pumps? | George Monbiot
The broadcaster behaves like Starmer’s government: suppress the left, cave to your critics, and undermine your own survival, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.

This is very disappointing, Chancellor.
A third runway at #Heathrow in the midst of a climate emergency is a vile act of vandalism. Rachel Reeves is happy to burn the planet for a tiny (probably elusive) increment of GDP. How does this benefit us?

Happy PLR Day to everyone who celebrates! And readers, remember that not only do libraries give you access to a wide selection of books for free, the Government also pays authors a small sum for every time one of their books is borrowed from a public library... #ThisWritingLife

Even if you’re writing a short email to someone trying to explain a problem, the fact you have to think about how to express that clearly and precisely is a process by which you come to understand it more deeply yourself.

We will be out and about talking about POTHOLES this weekend!
The Labour Party is providing £1.6billion to local councils to fix potholes - almost 50% MORE than the Tories promised!
If you see us, come and chat - we need to hold our local council to account to get these fixed, and save you money 🌹

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Well, that's the conference done for another year! Thank you to my lightning talkers, to all the amazing speakers, to Beth, Ben and the team, and to this fucking amazing community. Being among you all is worth every ounce of the exhaustion I feel right now! #ciep2023

Wonderful #CIEP2023 Whitcombe Lecture by @robinince.bsky.social. The beauty of bookshops and libraries; avoiding the ‘rules’ of reading; AI being unable to write jokes; books as weapons of empathy; ghostly connections; and filling our lives with stories. ‘THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY BOOKS.’
