Have you experienced the ‘sticky floor’ at work?

That's the difficulties women face progressing their careers whilst balancing their personal, unpaid responsibilities.

20 December 1924. Adolf Hitler was released from Landsberg Fortress, after serving just 264 days of a 5 year sentence for “high treason”, for organising the failed 1923 Munich Beer Hall Putsch. While in prison, Hitler had decided he would now take the “legal route to power”.

If you're even half interested in energy, I bet you've seen this chart. I call it The Most Hopeful Chart in the World.
The point? We're embracing renewable power MUCH faster than expected.
Hurrah!
Only problem is, this chart has an evil twin. A chart we really need to discuss

Social media videos are replacing text-based news

Anti-establishment voices gain the upper hand:

- free from institutional constraints,
- clickbait outrage goes viral

Super article from @jburnmurdoch

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

Already from just a quick glance at the blurb I see #kneale1984 was, like my Mum, a child of (the Isle of) Man. A good grounding in the bizarre, spooky and macabre.

Also married to the magnificent Judith Kerr. I imagine story time was a treat round their house.
