I carry a mug in my work bag to avoid disposable options. Love the idea of this #reuse approach!

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

Brilliant idea! 👏♻️

Well this "interview" with a Google #AI just completely screwed with my head! Genuinely interesting conversation challenging AI on whether it is sentient/conscious. Is this really real? #LaMDA #johnny5 https://t.co/QK89bVBl6y

I find the news of the #TwitterTakeover by #ElonMusk deeply concerning. Working with PayPal in the old days, he worried me... Add to that, any single person buying the world's largest social platform .. combine the two and that feels very uncomfortable

@newscientist Too early for #AprilFoolDay but this is so weird I'm really confused now!

This medical facility in Indiana got a #solarpower upgrade. It's the first carbon neutral medical facility in the state. RT if you think more parking lots should go #solar.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

@LisaForteUK Any supplier who doesn't expect MFA as a base standard raises alarm bells for me.

@whatsinitforme @Aiannucci I agree it's rational to want them, it's just madness when they're in the wrong hands. #Putin has been able to start a #war and nobody dares to fight back (just defend). This may be an opportunity to reduce nuclear weapons of one super power. I recognise zero overall is unlikely

[James Beach @JamesBeachUK]

@moderatedew @Aiannucci I preceded your quote with "Assuming good prevails". I was suggesting as part of any surrender agreement that this should be the terms. A massive assumption, but that is my hope. Long way to go before then I fear.

[James Beach @JamesBeachUK]

What a kind and generous thing to do. It's difficult to rationalise #war against a peaceful and happy nation, but great to see individuals taking action to get support to those fleeing the fighting in #Ukraine️ 🇺🇦. I feel bad for not doing the same #StandWithUkraine

[Martin Roberts @TVMartinRoberts]

Thank you for all your kind messages after my Costco experience. They meant the world. Things have moved on. Quite dramatically 😂 Please join me on a very special trip…

Why doesn't every parking lot get a #solarpower upgrade?

We have so many solutions to this crisis. Stop the dealys and implement them. #ActOnClimate

In the last week, over a million people fled from Ukraine to neighbouring countries.

Red Cross teams inside and outside Ukraine have mobilised immediately to help people on the move.

You can help. Support @BritishRedCross, @RedCrossUkraine and all Red Cross teams responding.

@NCSC Thanks to your fantastic organisation for protecting UK individuals and businesses with clear, useful and free cyber advice at https://t.co/RyTh2TaFQf and directly to many orgs too. You are becoming the trusted source for many, and rightly so. #CyberSecurityAwareness

@adambroach @Scott_Helme Must admit I assumed that was the original reason for setting the limit but I shudder at the thought that it could still be the case. If true I'd like to think it's on the organisation risk log as... "There is a risk that our total disregard for user security results in ..."

@GoodLawProject Whilst I agree leaders need to do a lot at #COP26, I think we mustn't forget it's us all that have to embrace and take on change. This means cost and being less selfish but is our only choice if we genuinely care about ours and future generations futures. #ClimateEmergency
