@kaetempest Incredible gig tonight at the dome. So amazing to hear all those pieces rightfully together as one. Thank you so much.

@GWRHelp What's going on at Bristol Temple Meads? An London train has just left empty because there were no announcements, and the packed London train on the adjacent platform is full of frustrated passengers.

@SarahAllanUK @involveUK Brilliant news - congratulations! So excited to hear this.

Support and sponsor 'Follow the Patient' to see this documentary about traumatic head injury recovery become a reality, and to help so many people in this situation. @FTP_shortdoco @ben_clench https://t.co/YIUfbJNiHq

Great stuff from colleague at @Sussex_SCSC, Becky Dobson-Phillips in @ConversationUK.

Why bullying in politics is a big deal.

Have left way too many Climate Summits feeling deflated & angry at rich countries divide & rule tactics that let them escape any responsibility for the crisis they have caused. Today I savour a hard fought victory made possible only because of the power of our movements 👏🏾👏🏾✊🏿✊🏾

Ask yourself…

Why would an older person’s Oyster card be accepted as voter ID?

But a younger person’s would not?

Then ask yourself, which way they typically vote

No question…

This is election rigging.

Hi, distributed systems engineer here.
Systems like Twitter are both resilient, and fragile.

@sainsburys So is contactless working in your stores or not? I see a lot of other people having problems on Twitter, and there were loads of people unable to pay this morning.

[Simon Phillips @simonphillips]

@sainsburys are card & contactless payments working in your stores? Just been to Nine Elms, no way to pay as I didn't have cash.

1) Lovely to see Gavin Williamson's true colours.
2) Morton's "I'm fine" deflection is an unexpected comedy masterpiece.

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

Williamson told Morton, the party’s first female chief whip, that her approach was “very stupid”, “looks shit”, and that she trying to “fuck us all over”

He sarcastically thanked her for her “patronising and condescending tone”, told her not to “bother asking anything from me”

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.

So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1

[Simon Phillips @simonphillips]

What kind of headline is this?! Completely trivialises the cost of living crisis. It's not about a lovely cuppa: it's about people surviving the winter. https://t.co/dOiAYmFFjq

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.

Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

[Simon Phillips @simonphillips]

Absolutely spot on re Musk & Twitter https://t.co/EcNB1NIu2a

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

All across the country, local governments are restricting and banning clean energy projects.

I heard rumors that misinformation on Facebook was a major cause of this.

So I joined ~40 anti-wind and solar groups to see some of it for myself.

The results were bleak.
