Hate it when spellchecker changes "we're" to "they're"...

Also, not only are diesel generators not banned by net zero, but we just had capacity market auctions in which diesel generators were awarded subsidies...

look at the date on this. as Tracey Emin said, we are stuck! stuck! stuck! our attention economy is absolutely stagnant, it's a bad open mic night, dominated by a crew of morons who will not leave the stage and cannot get new material.

I made an Xmas dinner for my Nepalese housemates at uni - included a store bought rotisserie chicken as I'd never cooked turkey before 😂

They enjoyed it, though were dubious of the gravy not having more (any) spices in it... so they compensated with ample mustard applied to everything 😅

At Climate Summit, presenter has long list of advantages to making more sustainable choices and addressing #ClimateChange. Audience member asks “what if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”

15 years old, but still completely relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we could be creating today would be a LOT better and easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I see we're at the promote a product that steals money from you stage of capitalism...

I'm happy to test this, just give me unfettered access to a piece of train or tram track which splits in two & a carriage without breaks we can start rolling towards various groups of people with someone able to divert the tracks to hit either one or several people...

Erm... actually I was meeting a friend...?

Everyone keeps saying I act like a Bond villain less the white cat.

Anyway, here's why my second most controversial policy is definitely not dystopian in any way, apart from the obvious dystopianism it invokes.

Also, have you met my new cat? She's called Snowball on account of her white fur...

Like when it snows in winter or la nina happens & climate change deniers claim it as confirmation of a world view that doesnt stand up to 5 mins of actual scrutiny...

Some F1 teams have never won a race. Maybe they should fire their engineers & so-called 'professional' drivers and replace them with a team of interpretative dancers & ice-cream van drivers instead?

Bret will surely agree with the infallible logic there...

I wonder if it will take off or if dedicated in-home batteries will get there first? Esp as earlier EVs get to the end of their lives putting a glut of cheaper batteries out there.

Consumers will v much drive it one way or another, but I'd want my car battery focussed on my car & maxing range etc.

Dutch summary of new report about possible nuclear power plants.

My summary of that:

1) Could become very expensive, and almost all risks will be borne by taxpayers, not companies.

2) When completed after 2035, electricity will already be almost CO2 free.
