@Thamesheadchoir Hey, I want to ask who the artist for your Christmas flyer is? I'd love to see more of their angels. I can't see an email address due to how it's protected on your website.

@GlosRoads Hi. Where can we find information on the extent of investigation into the subsurface void, is there information about how far up/down Rodborough Hill is affected, beyond the void stumbled upon outside the school?

Rodborough Hill #Stroud - Due to an unforeseen void appearing within the carriageway, it is necessary for a 24-hour road closure. This is for the safety of the public and will remain in place until further notice. Our teams will be working to resolve as soon as safely possible.

@shockproofbeats Do we have to wait until next weekend to find out how your in-laws got on, or can you share here, please?! And I hope a child-free wedding was fun no matter the sleep situation back home!

@franzjaeger_ber @echrell @FrankRGardner I was looking for this explanation to fill the gap in my knowledge, thanks for providing it, FJK. Thanks for repeatedly raising awareness about these demeaning situations, Frank, keep on keeping on.

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.

@leighvenus @IMAX @NASAWebb Just some information about whether it's coming or not would be appreciated! For clarity though: this tweet is another vote for a UK distribution of Deep Sky.

@MarkDampier Hey Mark, I feel like you probably have access to that answer given that you have @HLInvest as your weblink and profess a love of investing, no? Surely the firms out there putting turbines offshore think they're good value?

@DaleVince Offshore wind is ridiculously expensive. What is the economic life of a wind turbine, especially when placed in an inhospitable area like the North Sea?

This is turning into a bonfire of public money. £2.5 billion to fund sketchy carbon capture tech at a power station that burns trees - not any old trees, but pristine Canadian forests. We already give £800m to Drax annually to support its tree burning. bit.ly/4b1hK6G

@SustainableTall I try not to read DM pages... Is she held up as a member of the woke elite telling us how to live, or is there engagement with her point and discussion of the pros and cons? 🤞

After 6 months of fieldwork in Bougainville🇵🇬, I'm ready to embark on leg 1 of my #NoFly journey to Germany. Travelling by🚢,🚅,&🚌over 27,000km, I'll emit ~535kg of CO2, 10 times less than✈️. This decision cost me my job, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 1/🧵

"Efforts have focused on turning children from working-class backgrounds into middle-class clones [...] rather than asking whether the system itself might be changed to make it welcoming to those from all backgrounds. We need a rethink[...]." 🙏
University of Exeter News@UniofExeterNews

Professor of Social Mobility, @Lem_Exeter, says schools in England must do more to challenge unconscious bias in the classroom against children from working-class backgrounds. Read more as featured in @guardian 👇 theguardian.com/society/2023/o…

A reminder. May 2021: “Development of new #oil and #gas must stop this year and no new coal power stations can be built if the world is to meet the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, said the @IEA. It undertook the report at the request of the UK govt.

I’m pretty pissed off with this charade, I took the debate seriously and spent a long time preparing for it, ensuring I was completely up to date with the scientific literature. I feel conned. But I feel worse for his fans, some of whom travelled there from Scotland and Wales.

Here’s the video of my debate with @AllanRSavory: “Is livestock grazing essential to mitigating climate change?”. Allan requested the debate and insisted on the title. I wondered how he would argue a case for which there's precisely no evidence. OMFG.🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=rhwEaC…

@velann15 @SustainableTall Yes, sarcasm here as it was definitely a terrible idea. I notice even native English speakers struggle with spotting sarcasm in text, and as a general indicator, a "!", "?!" or "..." is a good indicator that sarcasm might have occurred. Good luck.
