#Dirty @dobbies Hugely disappointing visit to your coffee shop in Edinburgh for my free cake for my birthday. No gluten free option for my wife and no discretion to allow one of the wrapped tray bakes instead, crockery and tea pots were disgusting as were seats.

@EDI_Airport not a fan of the tannoyed adverts that you have introduced. Currently at the gate and cannot make out the gate announcements over the adverts.

I created a deck of 35 of the graphics that I tweeted during 2023. These are the graphics linked to the tweets that others liked and retweeted the most. The graphics are mostly created by other people and I have acknowledged the source of each one. Thank you to all the brilliant artists and sketchnoters who help to synthesise and share important principles and practices through their efforts: https://t.co/nXAZf7T6ft

One of the most impactful new change models of 2023 comes from Bill Bannear of @ThinkPlace. We create value & make breakthroughs in our systems through the strength, number & quality of relationships. In complex change, we cannot design the model or predict the outcomes in advance. But if we build these relationships, we create the conditions for impactful new solutions to emerge & be implemented: https://t.co/CL8n05oUZY

Caroline Lucas: “It is performative cruelty of a dying administration & a grotesque waste of money. The outsourcing of our human rights obligations to a 3rd country is downright immoral. Legislation to say Parliament believes something to be true does not make it so”

As if the awful consequences of that weren't bad enough, how can we naively ignore the impact 'for most of us' on what must surely be the massive impending climate migration we'll see when 'the rest of them' find their parts of the planet become uninhabitable?

[Nick Addington @N_Addington]

"We still have time & solutions to keep the planet liveable for most of us," said the cheery reporter ending this story @BBCr4today. Seems we really have crossed the threshold where we're comfortable consigning swathes of humanity to climate disaster. https://t.co/FdUio5ysdK 1/2
