But it’s been cold this Summer - global warming my bottom! Great bit of #dataviz by @neilrkaye All the blue years were colder than this Summer. This Summer would have been the warmest of the decade in the 1960s. Changing perception of what’s normal.

The Just Stop Oil protestors have just received longer sentences than this rapist.

@EveningSends It’s not an essay but have the read ‘The Last Question’ by Asimov?

Can anyone think of any interesting essays they've ever read that discuss our relationship to time?

@SamaraBarnes1 @dannydorling @Ric_Bond @SteveBraceGeog @GroomB @The_Lowry My triggered-ness has reached previously unsurpassed levels. 😉

@MattPycroft @dannydorling @Ric_Bond @SteveBraceGeog @GroomB @The_Lowry Slight sidenote, one of our best holidays was in Mablethorpe. It was so hot, it couldn't have been up North 🤣😉

On the recommendation, I've just started the brilliant Northerners by @GroomB Opening chapter talks about where the North actually is. So I'm keen to know.. where do you think the North/South divide is? Especially keen to hear from those who live in the so called 'grey areas'

That fish has stolen someone’s sunglasses and I refuse to hear otherwise.

@dannydorling @Ric_Bond @SteveBraceGeog @SamaraBarnes1 @GroomB @The_Lowry Ok I’ll let you off. Born in Grimsby and brought up very near Mablethorpe. I cling to my questionable northern identity with every millimetre of tooth and nail…

@MattPycroft @Ric_Bond @SteveBraceGeog @SamaraBarnes1 @GroomB @The_Lowry Don’t worry, Grimsby is firmly in the North; along with Scunthorpe and Nottingham. Mablethorpe mind, and Grantham, I put them below the line. It’s a tricky buisness but it has to be drawn somewhere. Newark North Gate station is a clue to one of the gateways to the North ☺️

@Ric_Bond @SteveBraceGeog @SamaraBarnes1 @GroomB @dannydorling @The_Lowry As a boy from Grimsby this boils my blood. 😉

@SamaraBarnes1 @GroomB Years ago I commissioned @dannydorling to define the North South divide in support of a major exhibition at @The_Lowry . Still gets cited as a good yardstick on occasions (even if it did label some folks near Grimsby as southerners) amp.theguardian.com/uk/2007/oct/24…

@AndrewKerr1873 @guardian Ah yes, the courageous, anonymous bigots are here. Snore.

Yes, five years in jail is too harsh, but the Just Stop Oil Five shouldn’t have done it | Sonia Sodha #Echobox=1721543555" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@Al_Humphreys @wainwrightprize That’s brilliant. It’s almost like you know exactly what you’re doing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am chuffed to bits to learn that 'Local' has been nominated for the most prestigious award in Nature Writing – the @wainwrightprize. A little thread... 🧵

@mary_novakovich @Channel4 Oh thank god someone else feels that way too. It’s almost unwatchable!

Hi @Channel4. Wake me up when you ditch Nadine Dorries and Kwasi Kwarteng from your election coverage. Not sure whose idea it was to invite them, but it wasn't the greatest.

@CalumMuskett He’s quite good, isn’t he.

@EveningSends Hey, leave podcasters alone. We’re experts on everything. You can tell because we have microphones and very, very important opinions.

I am once again asking podcasters to stop having “debates” on Israel between groups of people who simply aren’t experts and do not know what they are talking about

@DermotNCosgrove It made me so happy.

@DermotNCosgrove Can confirm the podcast one deters bears/tigers/strangers.

@AshRouten They even managed to get ‘conquer’ in there. 👌🏻

Looks like Outside Magazine are tackling the more challenging outdoor and adventure stories…

@atlanticgarden0 @DermotNCosgrove P.S. sorry to hear about relationship issues with your loved one, Dermot. Relationships change and people/animals move on. Chin up.

@atlanticgarden0 @DermotNCosgrove Guy! I’m a huge fan of your book/work and am cheekily taking this opportunity whilst tagged in a thread to see if you want to come on the podcast Dermot is often so kind about. The Adventure Podcast on iTunes/Spotify etc.
