@LFCJacobb For clubs without a sugar daddy, there are a hundred million reasons (£) for yo-yoing....

@GrnCharlie Is it true or is it in The Telegraph?

Fear-mongering about chemical names is just bad science.

🚫 “Synthetic chemicals are toxic” → Misleading.
🚫 “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it” → Absurd.
🚫 “Natural = Safe” → Tell that to a death cap mushroom. 6/

The summer of 1976 is repeatedly used by.. people.. to somehow discredit climate change or hot summer weather.

Here are the global temperatures from 1976 compared with 2024. In 76, the UK was a warm anomaly on a much cooler planet. Today? The entire planet is warmer.

Hi everyone ❤️
Im doing the Cancer is Not for Kids campaign which is taking place this week. In connection with that, I’m putting a couple of match-worn Norwich shirts and some boots up for a raffle. The entry fee is 150 kroner, and then we do a raffle to find the lucky winners!

We were called just before 3am today to a car fire in a tunnel near #HeathrowAirport. Firefighters attended and extinguished the fire, which involved a diesel-powered vehicle. No one was hurt and the airport has now confirmed the tunnel has re-opened.

@montie The US had best not vote for this Biden bloke then......

@Kate_Dancingcat I like both, but the left one !

By using a specially modified telescope, I can capture photos of the “chromosphere”, an atmospheric layer of the sun. It reveals the complex structure of the sun’s features.

This photo was formatted as a mobile wallpaper for you to enjoy. I’m posting these daily so stay tuned!

Please don't suffer in silence.

There is 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 somebody that will listen.

@bbc5live If my cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what should I imply from your empty desk ?

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Wow. Carmakers will hate this, but I think it's great:

A new California bill from @Scott_Wiener would require all new cars to contain speed governors that prevent them from going 10 mph+ over the speed limit.

Hi, I’m a climate scientist and these types of maps are irresponsible scaremongering. At plausible melting rates, this would take many thousands of years. BUT SEA LEVEL RISE IS A REAL CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. We need to deal with realistic rates of sea level rise.

Good morning conference! 🌄

Today's the day! We're asking you to vote for motion E03 and E07! #HS2 is happening and we want to hold HS2 Ltd. to account, to ensure the project is as green as possible. #GPC23 #GPConf

Hi @easyJet, why are you suing a young band to change their name?

They’ve been performing as @easylife for 8 years and you Trademarked it last year.

They’ve traded under it and they don’t compete in anything like the same area.

So why are you doing it?

Seems cruel here.

[Andrew Levi @AndrewPRLevi]

A group calling itself @RestoreTrustNT is trying to wreck @nationaltrust, installing culture warriors in top positions & changing NT rules.

If you’re an NT member, use “Quick Vote” to vote for the NT’s candidates & resolutions ⬇️

Don’t split the vote.

@FraserNelson Politician says he will do something if elected....
