This makes me laugh a lot. "Mum, Dad, I have ennui!"...

@SGSSKISPAIN24 Thank you for taking them and for all the updates!

I don't think I've seen a post be Rt'd by more scientists and environmental data-crunchers, because it is the big question: what should we do, when we can see how things are getting worse, and yet even today, the government rolls back climate change policies?

@IvoGraham I came here to say Fireflies by Owl City but others have done my work for me. Does she have any idea of the tempo?

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

I don’t think enough people have seen this. It’s Kurt Vonnegut talking to his wife about going out to get an envelope (we’re here on earth to fart around):

I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.

@SoVeryBritish I love the rain but it’s harder socialising outdoors during the summer hols in the pouring rain…

William Shatner is right. The Earth is the final & only frontier & we are destroying it an an unprecedented rate.

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

"I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

"I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

"This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."

-- William Shatner, actor

Sometimes we are too scared to make a decision in case it’s the wrong decision. But making no decision is still a decision and it may be the wrong one.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Had a customer in tonight moaning that the tyre pressure machine was free but now we charge 50p.

I shrugged and said “that’s inflation” and he didn’t even laugh why do I even bother?

Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

[the hype @TheHyyyype]

little kids are so dumb. "are we there yet?" yeah man, we're there. our final destination is this random stretch of highway. get it together

Strange women distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

[Kevin Eldon @ItsKevinEldon]

The French are tearing the streets up because of two extra years of work while England does nothing, as mechanisms of accountability and our rights to protest are systematically and matter-of-factly disappeared. Kind of sobering. Or it should be, shouldn’t it?

@kfRedhot It was the most joyous fake

[Felicity Hannah @FelicityHannah]

Is there anything else that costs just £1 and brings you as much happiness as daffodils?

[Kate Fowler @K_F0]

@kfRedhot It was 2 points, not 1 point, definitely. You were robbed a couple of times this evening. Impressed with the good humour you styled it out with 👍🏼

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…

[Rory McCarthy @roryisconfused]

Fascinated by those magazines you see in supermarkets called like ‘Take a Break!’ and ‘That’s Life!’ where they have these happy bright fonts and 7 headlines that all describe the kind of story that a Doestoevsky character tells another to try to make them stop believing in God
