Serpentine's still bigger 😄

How's the war in Iran going?
Trump: Our pool is bigger than Skyscrapers.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

@DavidHeadViews Doubtless he'll be trousering the profits.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

And the Serpentine in London is 3,000ft long and bigger than his pool. So what?!

President Trump calls reporters to the Oval Office:

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

The question remains, should *any* data centres that depend upon fossil fuels be allowed as we struggle to combat the climate crisis? Signed.

[Ray Georgeson MBE - Borders Liberal Democrats 🔶 @BordersRayLD]

this petition is important - the data centre proposed in Longformacus is in totally the wrong location - please sign and share.

What if you're self-employed? 🤔

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

In Portugal, it’s illegal for your employer to contact you outside of working hours.

Wait, so it's #worldciderday AND #worldbicycleday?! Cool!

Happy World Cider Day! 🌍

Thereby admitting the problem with eschewing radar and lidar for moneysaving reasons.

Tesla was granted a US patent last week for a "Lens Cleaning System" that pairs a fluid dispenser with a compact wiper blade curved to fit a spherical camera lens.

It monitors image quality in real time and wipes when it detects dirt, water, mud, or snow degrading the feed.

And you think this isn't true of all modern cars? Shameless EV scaremongering.

You’ve just purchased a new electric vehicle? Congratulations – you are now the proud owner of a surveillance machine on wheels, in which all the sensors are pointing directly at you

So reference to renewables here could be a (albeit invisible!) smokescreen and we need to know minima, maxima, and mean predictions for CO2, NOx etc emissions from this proposal.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

The proximity to renewables (a familiar trope for data centres: https://t.co/yC2Oitjwr2) for this project assumes their availability (as the grid improves, curtailment will inevitably reduce).

[Ray Georgeson MBE - Borders Liberal Democrats 🔶 @BordersRayLD]

3/ the reality is this data centre plan for Longformacus is totally unsuitable for this location , extraordinarily large industrial development in totally the wrong place.

Meetings for the data centre take place in early June - I will be attending and making my views known.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

There is passing reference on their website (https://t.co/DoK3lO8goT) of proximity to a gas supply, but other DCs (like Stargate) rely heavily on fossil fuel generation, with all the related exhaust pollutants that entails.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

Effortlessly, this brings us a new measure of depth of an archaeological trench: the Napoleon Bonaparte! https://t.co/ro77jFtNiN

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

Hmmm. Their 'comparatively low temperatures' don't allow for global warming (to which they will be contributing). Duns now is pretty comparable to Bristol in the 1970s (been there, done it, tick). https://t.co/T3AoPcwsar

@DavidHeadViews @KevinASchofield Pretty sure a list could be made up for him, to include the Horst-Wessel-Lied and the Russian national anthem. Maybe Abba with Money, Money, Money and I suspect we could guess his Lieblingsbuch....

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

@DavidHeadViews Nominated for the Least Imaginative Use Of AI Slop in 2026, but he's up against some stiff competition from 'Dr Jesus' Don.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

So, 68 today and I've still not become right wing or in thrall to populists. If anything ...

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

And yet the cost of wind and solar has not gone up, only that of gas (and the immoral profits of the oil giants). #breakthelink https://t.co/hHh8vOzjLG

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

Dear god, but he's thick.

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

The more renewable electricity we put in the dearer our bills become. It’s not just higher gas prices causing trouble. Yesterday with a surge in solar power we still needed to import and to burn more gas as there was so little wind. Solar of course shut down in the evening.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

At least they had a dental service, eh @wesstreeting?

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

Neanderthals performed dental procedures.

[Mike C Bishop @MikeCBishop]

All modern car design looks like one half of a pair of trainers, but I particularly love this as it has all the muckpuffers literally fuming 😆
