@bondvigilantes Any more lifeboats kicking about?

Hadn’t heard about Nespresso joining the B Corp ranks but it certainly raises the question of what the moniker is for. Recycling Nespresso capsules is a nightmare… The struggle for the soul of the B Corp movement https://t.co/Vsb1sfoRyB

An enjoyable evening at @EconUCL listening to Lorenzo Smaghi talk about the challenges surrounding financing the transition to net zero #netzero2050 #esg

And terrific fun it was!

Quoth @DuncanWeldon, whose Value Added blog (https://t.co/V38ClxKhfU) is well worth a read:

Place this comfortably within a Venn diagram of things I’m into.

🚨 Have you seen this car? 🚨 After writing about my Gramps's sun bleached Ford Escort Mk3 in @PracticalClass I'm super curious to know what happened to it and would love to be reunited. Pictured here with me snazzy nanna 🧡❤️

Not your usual Monday, certainly, but a great opportunity to help @TRIANGLE_APG get the garden ready for winter and prepare for the annual bonfire. #volunteering

[Triangle APG @TRIANGLE_APG]

#Volunteers make a big difference to Triangle and it was great to have @mandgplc visit for a mega day of gardening on site, a huge amount of greenery trimmed, pruned, chopped and cleared ahead of our bonfire night 👍 #adventureplayground #support #charity

BREAKING: It is "unequivocal" that human activities have warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land, finds a major new UN climate report signed by 195 countries https://t.co/OqpAAbj0XI

@ajb_powell I accidentally read A Random Walk Down Wall Street first and (for all its failings) it’s served as an excellent BS barometer ever since.

[Dean Cook @DeanCookViews]

Well worth a read. Fascinating story.

[Josh Gross @endtwist]

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here.

This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

[Dean Cook @DeanCookViews]

@bondvigilantes @FT @ludohunter There’s a (predictably) good interview with them by @theQuietus that’s worth a read.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Form of tweet that I see on here pretty often is

"I live in X state, and trust me, [Biden/Trump] is going to win, based on Y that I'm seeing."

Suppose it's a 53/47 state, what kind of on-the-ground insight could you possibly have that will give you an accurate representation?

[Dean Cook @DeanCookViews]

@TheStalwart A tiffin good?

[Dean Cook @DeanCookViews]

@DuncanWeldon After seeing from your Banksy tweet that we’re neighbours, I’m slightly concerned it might be me.

Interesting time to be starting this book. Recommendation courtesy of @bondvigilantes #covidreads
