Will never forget Ocean Vuong's comments on competitiveness in the arts. He used the metaphor of a racetrack, calling the race “synthetic." Remove all the man-made elements--the track, the fences, the jockeys and numbers--and you have “horses running together in a field.” 💚

has he considered that a lot of people view university education as an opportunity to learn more about a subject they’re genuinely passionate about rather than simply preparation for making as much money as they possibly can

At the Conservative party conference, energy secretary Claire Coutinho said Labour seems “relaxed about taxing meat”.

Ms Coutinho has not provided evidence to support this claim, and we’ve not found any. Taxing meat is not Labour policy.

So, today Civitas has published a great new report, publishing the "realisistic" costs of Net Zero. Apparently, it’s a whopping £4.5 trillion, or £6,000/home/year.

Wow. However, how do these numbers stack up?

@PippaCrerar The most imminent cost was on landlords and was designed to reduce energy bills and fuel poverty for tenants, which is hardly a bad thing.

All the other efficiency and heat pump rules were to be phased in as costs come down and were meant to be backed by incentives.

It was an honour to represent @FreelancersMake at today's Oberto conference. Here is our provocation in full, either as four pictures or a very long thread... I am so proud to be a small part of this amazing team (mostly volunteers!) and to share the research that we are doing.

Just a couple of years ago, the steel industry was allegedly "hard to abate" and routinely used as an excuse to slow global decarbonization. Now, fully 43% of planned steelmaking capacity is based on electric arc furnace technology, up 68% in 1 year

I now have this gender theory syllabus as one of the central resources on my course sites, next to, like, the student support links, because it's that good.
