Fourteen schools in Bristol voted on how to spend £5m.

The options were:

1) Spread cash based on the number of pupils each school has.

2) Maximise money for disadvantaged children.

The only three schools to vote against option two were faith schools.

I guess I'd just ask why you're a crypto fan when it's literally just "use all the electricity in the world to make ... nothing."

Don't bother explaining though, I don't believe there's an answer I'd listen to.

It's not just dumb, it's planetary suicide. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a new phase - it’s like when cigarette manufacturers pretended to start owning up to lung cancer & heart disease, but did (and still do) nothing to stop it.

It’s like pretending columnists with an opinion are on par with scientists.

Of all the crazy, delusional #climate denial nonsense I’ve seen in an Irish paper in last 20 years, this may be the worst.

How did climate change fuel wildfires? Wet-to-dry whiplash.

In Pasadena, 20 of the rainiest days since 1893 occurred after 2000. One was last Feb.

Yet there hasn’t been a drop in eight months, with heat waves in between.

UBI and housing for everyone. Setting aside that it's the right thing to do...it's also cheaper.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Really don’t want to be the guy who claims football was better in the old days (the 90s, specifically) but there is a mania that has taken over many modern fans - in large part, I believe, because of the bantz-toxicity of social media - that makes me pine for the old days.
