My work inbox is almost never under 500 (get several hundred a day).
My personal one with the junk? I do a full clear every 5 years or so, getting to that point again.
I don’t even see the number any more.

3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain.
England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem.
With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

My partner has heard me talking about getting a telescope for 18 years, but it’s never been the right time (they’re not cheap)
What did they give me this birthday? A Celestron StarSense Explorer. I’ll now be able to set up my own Milky Way time lapse!
Bonus picture of our geriatric cat in its box

Today’s my birthday, so I’m officially middle aged!
Which means I can confirm that this is the most relatable Ozzy Osbourne moment.

Iran has voted to close Strait of Hormuz: 20% of all oil/gas passes through here
This means a global spike in costs that’s potentially inflationary, as after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
Worsening cost of living pressures, esp in the UK where our energy costs are linked to wholesale energy prices

#ShowYourStripes captures regional temperature changes: we shouldn’t expect only warming but also prepare for cooling
The potential collapse that of the AMOC/Gulf Stream could make the UK freezing 🥶
As a Canadian, extreme heat & cold can be adapted to, but UK infrastructure/homes right now are not

Some late climate stripes for #ShowYourStripes day
Below are Scotland’s climate stripes: I couldn’t select the Highlands only sadly
There’s been a massive change in temperature, which is consistent with my experience here
Even home builders now work through the winter because it’s so much warmer

“Peace through Strength” is such an Orwellian slogan, yet CNN & other outlets are falling into line
Simplistic “power” sounds smart until you realize it just means playing chicken
The US hopes that the rest of the world continues to try appeasement & diplomacy in the face of increasing US violence

I don’t think many appreciate how the Bush administration tried to legitimize their actions in Iraq
I remember how the US presented (false) info at the UN for possible WMDs
It’s not normal to unilaterally bomb nuclear facilities, especially with active diplomacy (JCPOA)
This is worse than 2001-03
