A wonderful scrolly story with some severe warnings about deforestation.

Great use of animations to illustrate the benefits of each of the supertree species: brazil nut, mangroves and afrormosia (African teak).

They may look like ordinary trees, but these supertrees are bolstering biodiversity, mitigating the effects of climate change, and making the world a better place to live. Here's how.

When you're _certain_ about the future the first thing you should do is buy a lottery ticket 😁

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

I'm a technology optimist. I’ve spent four decades studying disruptive innovation, from the microprocessor, the internet, mobile phones to OpenAI. I'm certain AI will do 80% of the economically valuable work humans do today, for 80% of all jobs, faster than most believe. The question isn't whether mass underemployment arrives, but whether we have a policy framework ready. Right now we don't.

I'd say there's a lot of people in Ireland sick of being embarrassed by Fr Ted 😆

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

'Certain people'. Fucking bigots. I'm sick of being embarrassed by Ireland.

Waste of space 🚀

[Space | ™ @ITKSpace]

Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool and Tottenham staying in the Premier League are generating more attention than Arsenal lifting the trophy, which is a remarkably revealing reflection of public interest.

From a journalistic perspective, it is difficult to recall a title win carrying so little cultural weight, so little emotional gravity and so little wider resonance, but perhaps that is the inevitable consequence of a club whose success still feels more like a temporary disruption than a defining era.

How dare you - I was _never_ obsessed with clean code (no clean rooms for that matter)

My code was allway poorly designed, poorly documented, riddled with bugs and absolutely not fit for purpose

_That_ is why my competitors left me for dust 😭

[Can Vardar @icanvardar]

your obsession with clean code is why your competitors shipped the ugly version that actually works while you’re still refactoring

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

As Ronan Keating might say 'Please God' 😆

I am a very f****** good programmer. Unfortunately it's been automated. So now I'm just a good dad. Glad I have a kid

@moranjohna1 Whats needed (or missing) to make all this happen, John?

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

Kinda like saying Liverpool's biggest rival is Man City, chief 😆

[City Chief @City_Chief]

Even Arsenal winning the PL is so insignificant now as Pep is leaving. No one cares about Assnal 🤷‍♂️

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

He's been a closet Arsenal supporter all his life ...

Like VAR ... time to get rid

#VAR289 #VARout #VARMustGo

[City Chief @City_Chief]

BREAKING: Our Club Ambassador, @MicahRichards, is at the Arsenal game not Pep’s final game.

What a disgrace.

Global investors have lost he run of themselves

What's that famous quote from Buffet about not investing things he doesn't understand...

[Marc van der Chijs @marcvanderchijs]

Once people start seriously using AI they realise that it’ll replace most jobs.
Many still believe that AI will create new jobs. But once they get that AI doesn’t just replace a task but it replaces intelligence, they’ll see that most new future jobs can be done by AI as well.

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

Incorrect pretext .... vibe coding doesn't create production ready systems

None of the software engineers I know are retraining as plumbers

[Suhas @zuess05]

Serious question.

For 20 years, a "Software Engineer" was someone who spent thousands of hours mastering complex syntax, logic, and architecture.

Now, a 19-year-old can vibe-code a production-ready SaaS in a weekend using plain English and a $20 Claude subscription.

What does the title "Software Engineer" even mean right now?

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

Of course they're panicking - City have moved back to within 2 points again, are banging in goals, have earier run in games

Title might be decided on gaol difference #FAC #FACup #ManCity

[John Mappin @JohnMappin]

It has now been confirmed to me personally.

They are panicking.

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

You should also announce that you're deleting your X account but will still be found on Blue sky and Insta

Cry harder, baby,cry harder

[Steve Brookstein @stevebrookstein]

Cancelling my Sky Sports. Football is corrupt and I am not spending another penny supporting this garbage!! VAR #WHUARS

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

Only thing is the season is 38 games and each game involves multiple decisions

Cry harder, Iain,cry harder

#VAR #whuars

[Iain Dale 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 ⚒️ @IainDale]

I struggle to articulate my emotions at this moment. With that one decision, VAR has awarded the title to Arsenal, and probably relegated West Ham. This is not football.

[Declan Martin @declanmartin]

Dude you should announce you're deleting your X account as well -but of course you'll be posting on BlueSky and Insta from now on

Cry harder, dude, cry harder 😭

#VAR #WHUARS

[B. @InvertTheWing]

10/05/2026.

I am announcing retirement from watching The Premier League. Do not ask me about anything Premier League related.

The league is fucking corrupt. A complete and utter joke.

I am cancelling my Manchester City season ticket, and I am also cancelling my nephew's.

Dogshit product.

[Jonathan Morley @jmorleylfc]

Corruption. Pure & absolute corruption. Even if they win it now, it’s only a tainted title after that.
