This Tap remake looks promising... #jazz https://t.co/Xl1Ubf9fyX.

@richardosman @MarinaHyde Interesting, informative, fun as ever, but you appear to have uncharacteristically swallowed the AI industry Kool-Aid. Not about what it's capable of, but it's unsustainable trajectory. For details, https://t.co/08LIQRhzMI PS: $7Tn=total annual fossil fuel subsidies

Happy Christmas everyone. Here's Episode 1 of the almost entirely true story that took place on Dec 25, 1984, in Beijing, a day like any other... https://t.co/u0NUJjSvfq

This is interesting, in that I wonder how many US citizens would be surprised by any of it...

I just made a word up.

Born to the prolific and profligate Irish parents, Mr. & Mrs. O'Jism, a son, Neal.

Leonardo Da Vinci Was Wrong About #trees

This is brilliant.
It's taken centuries and a team of scientists at @BangorUni to disprove Da Vinci's rule of thumb about how to draw trees.

@wingcommander1 excels himself with this lovely, succinct report from #Taiwan.

Smart, simple #NetZero practice from #Taiwan -electric Scooters with swappable batteries.

100% commercial endeavour, 0 government subsidy.

Note zero tailpipe emissions only reduce carbon if the energy that recharges them is renewable.

Poetry. Thank you @Darren_Dutton for taking the time to create this oddly moving montage.

I did a google image search for men next to potholes and put them all in a montage.

These headlines, from a couple of billionare-owned newspapers, snapped on a pub table, exemplify the #ClimateAction activist's dilemma.

Know thine enemy

protect your #mentalhealth

#climateanxiety is bad enough, without major papers reckoning this is today's top news...

[Robert Stern - Writer @SternWriter]

Bang on. The degree of cognitive dissonance is astonishing.
Even more terrifying, the idea that anyone trying to mitigate the climate crisis is suffering from the same delusion, believing humans are capable of adapting to an existential threat when our actions show we can't...

Watching Europe burn while Britain debates Nigel Farage's bank account is a truly dispiriting experience. It's so parochial and childlike, like someone having a daydream during a car crash.

#hobbyhorse #dressage - captivating, profound, satirical, accessible, affordable, #lowcarbon and #vegan.

50% as weird as the horsey version, 1000x cheaper.

Will replace equine dressage by the 2028 #Olympics.

At a canter.

@mmgeissler #Hobbyhorse #dressage: witty, profound, subversive, satirical, hypnotic, sincere & #lowcarbon.

Also only 50% as weird as the equine version. 1000x cheaper, and accessible to the non-super-rich.

It will be a gay sensation, and replace the horsey version by the 2028 #Olympics

Wonderful storytelling about telling a story from a master storyteller...

Just come across this gem. Borges effortless reels off examples of English's rich vocabulary, but also - less conventionally- of its myriad, concise, and subtly nuanced, verb-preposition permutations. Once seen, never dreamed away...

@paulsinha Hear hear. My Dad, levadopa pioneer and co-founder of the Parkinson's Disease Society (precursor to @ParkinsonsUK ) used to call it 'this cruel disease'.

You probably know all about 'Jimmy P''s role in a plot to assassinate George III, but if not, enjoy: https://t.co/M9NGpBYLM6
