In a world of disaster capitalism, be a rebel: ride a bicycle and buy your clothes 2ndhand from charity shops.

Also, all the best people have trees in their bio.
Now tell me, where will your next bike ride be?

Who else was involved,?

Hi Nigel Farage, why did you try to block EU scrutiny of Russian funding for nationalist and Eurosceptic MEPs?

You were one.

Remember how we kept getting told that a European Army was a REALLY BAD idea?
It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.

Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

No, this is not a parking space.

(Police issued a Fixed Penalty Notice, but I'm not sure whether it was for the double yellows, or blocking the cyce lane, or both)

Tonight's out-of-hours IT support work used to take 20 to 45 mins, plus service testing time.
Then I wrote code to do the heavy lifting, and tonight it took 10 mins, incl service testing.
Happy with that, though I can improve things further still.
Work smarter, not harder.

Can you imagine being the people of Vanuatu?

They are ALREADY experiencing saltwater intrusion into wells, coastal erosion, and have begun the early relocation of at-risk communities.

Yet many nations just don't care about their plight. They just want to keep burning fossil fuels.

Disgraceful.
On the last official day of #COP30 climate talks, countries are divided on whether to commit to phasing out fossil fuels. Vanuatu's minister for climate change says big polluters like Saudi Arabia are obstructing action despite "scientific clarity" on the need to transition to clean energy.

Reducing emissions without phasing out fossil fuels is like being full after a big restaurant meal and telling the waiter to keep delivering new dishes to the table with a promise that your kids and your neighbor who is not even at the table will pay the bill.

Oil and gas lobbyists have no legitimate role at climate conferences.

We need COP30 to put people and planet first, not polluters.

Go write something down, and keep it for the next 10 years minimum.
Go write down what vehicle you're driving, what your annual mileage is, how many times/week you eat meat and how many flights you take per year.
In 10 years, when climate change is far worse than now, go read it, and ask yourself
