So long and thanks for all the tweets.

I think this is the attitude towards hard work that many of my generation and younger have. Mission, good people and upside (financial you can negotiate but you have to be changing things for the better) are crucial for commitment. This is where Twitter 2.0 fails.

[Peter Clowes @peterclowes]

To be clear I love hard work, I do well with chaos, but I like doing it with people I like, for a mission I care about and ideally with significant upside potential (financial or otherwise) to balance downside risk.

[Lassi Kurkijärvi @lassi]

Oikein. Hienosti toimittu.

Sunnuntaina alkavat jalkapallon MM-kisat. HS:n toimittajia tai kuvaajia ei mene Qatariin, kertoo tässä @ekylmanen: https://t.co/Hjx51PrcQT

Päivän painetun lehden kansista voi myös lukea, miksi ei.

Tukholmaan esitetään fossiilimainoskieltoa! Jatkossa esim. öljy🛢- ja lentoyhtiöt🛩 eivät siis voisi mahdollisesti enää mainostaa Tukholman kaduilla.

Tässä ketjussa, miksi kielto todella tarvitaan myös Suomen kaupunkeihin. 🧵

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from @GeorgeMonbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet.

“Anyone know who owns this?”

“Unplug it. Someone will show up.”

Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

Europe is insanely warm right now. It has never been this warm so late in the year for some.

Can't believe it is only 43 days until Christmas.

If there was a way for them to redeem Ash not using his past Pokemon, this was it. The most beautiful scene in Pokemon anime history I've ever seen.

This is #Anipoke Heritage right here!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

[Lassi Kurkijärvi @lassi]

THIS: “Climate models have projected very smooth changes, whereas the real world is suffering rapid regional changes. The rise in globally averaged temperature is a useful metric of how far climate change has got, but it doesn’t bring home the message.” https://t.co/dfrrNL0JuM

you know what? I've been pretty hard on Elon, but this website actually shows he's done a lot of good: https://t.co/ooCknreNi6

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Most people I know in the media view this as hysteria. They simply will not face just how serious it is - which means it’s not reported with the adequate conviction or urgency, as if to do so would be a sign of weakness. The media is failing so spectacularly. #ClimateCrisis

[D Attenborough @Attenboroughs_D]

If you have a trip or a fall in public, pretend you meant to do to avoid any embarrassment.

[Thijs Niks @thijsniks]

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny https://t.co/nhiVnblHGg

[Matt Loszak @MattLoszak]

For 40 years, nuclear power was expanding exponentially, ushering in a new era of clean & reliable power.

Then in 1989, it hit a wall.

What really happened? … 🧶 …

[German Embassy London @GermanEmbassy]

Unlimited regional public transport across Germany will cost €49/month next year.

The digital 'Deutschlandticket' will be available on a monthly basis from January.

Aim of the '€49-Ticket' is to cut C02 emissions and help people with the cost of living.

@EganRichardson That’s just silly then! As a child I got told off when I finished the math book ahead of time as well, and luckily my parents told me to tell the teacher to sod off. Luckily I got extra stuff to solve and got to play on the classroom Commodore 64. Hope your kid’s school is smart.

[Lassi Kurkijärvi @lassi]

@EganRichardson I had a discussion about this with my 9-y-o last weekend, since they have a book club at school. By reading what you’ve agreed with others you can discuss that part but not more (spoiler alert!) in the weekly sessions. I see why book clubs agree on rules. He’s not in trouble.
