Spotted A417 Missing Link in person and being celebrated on TV. Yet another RIS2 road destroying an Area of National Outstanding Beauty. If this was a train people would have been fighting it, but if it’s a dual carriageway through the Cotswolds that’s fine. www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/lates...

To make it easier to get started with overlays in #OpenAPI and #AsyncAPI, the maintainers of OpenAPI Format have created a web interface for working through a visual UI. And @philsturgeon.com has even put together a practical guide to help you dive in! docs.bump.sh/guides/opena...

Yeeees! Wherever you are you really want a Green on Active Travel and Cycling Champion. Oxfordshire is going to benefit a whole lot from having Emily in the role because she actually knows what she’s talking about!

Following a successful reintroduction to a Welsh river last summer, conservationists have released a further 140 Water Voles to help bring back the UK’s fastest declining mammal to south Wales buff.ly/ZSTdShy

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

USFS land that would be for sale to fund tax cuts for the rich. National Forests protect watersheds; selling them imperils your drinking water, encourages sprawl, increases fire and flood risk

Dammit, I knew Lower Thames Crossing would get the go ahead. This wastes billions of pounds to trash ancient woodland just to induce more driving instead of ever EVER doing anything to improve train quality/capacity/price. #StopRIS2

I'm backing @zackpolanski.bsky.social for Green Party leader. Politics is at a dangerous crossroads and we desperately need to be getting our Green message across more effectively. Zack - one of our top communicators - is best placed to do this. #BackZack

Trump once said “nobody understands how airplanes work”. He must have been asking his now FAA pick.

Countless wankpanzers out on south Devon lanes this weekend with absolutely no idea how to drive. One of them managed to find reverse which was utterly amazing, but then obviously did a shit job then threw their arms up before smashing onwards forcing one car into a ditch.

The fact that nationalist parties aren’t constantly focusing on 100% energy independence with home grown renewable energy would be surprising if you weren’t paying attention to who’s funding them.

Reform has already lost nine councillors to ineptitude and outbursts of hate speech. The omnishambles will only intensify the more they lose, so here’s hoping they implode, and the fascist party is no longer a going concern by next election. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/d...

The only thing more dangerous than flying on Boeing is being a whistleblower on Boeing. Either way you’ve got a horrendously high chance of being killed.

Back on the boat after a few days away and a rat has chewed into my Hotbin hot composter through the vent on top. Fucker didn’t get out and the thermometer is finally in the “hot” zone of 40°C so… thank you for your service dead rat. 🫡

To be 1000% clear on the fascist authoritarian overreach of a Trumps war on civilians here’s a clear as day video of a random pedestrian getting shot trying to walk home to her apartment. Not a violent illegal immigrant, just a scared young woman. www.instagram.com/reel/DKvPhAV...

Being off grid but relying entirely on fossil fuels is a silly game of pretend. Grid was pretty involved in getting you that fossil fuels bud! I love reducing reliance on gas and diesel, and this hob helps. www.instagram.com/reel/DKxavYc... #canalboat #fossilfuelfree #decarbonisation #offgrid

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital. What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies? What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households? Bring bills down. #SpendingReview

Comparison of the 5 best API documentation tools money can or cannot buy. “Some are open-source and some are Software-as-a-Service, some focus on beautiful interfaces, some focus on powerful functionality, and some focus on jamming AI all over the place.” bump.sh/blog/top-5-a...

If we can’t even get Labour to require swift bricks in buildings I have very little confidence we can get heat pumps into 100% of new homes. Fingers crossed it can be dressed up growth and energy independence for them, to overcome the housing lobby and culture wars nonsense holding us back.

Yesterday’s “very angry about ticks” “campaign” has raised £277 but it needs to get to £800 to meet the £100 per tick target. Thank you all. 🫡

The new peat maps from Natural England are AI slop that confuse trees and rock formations with peat at an almost hilarious scale. Definitely useless, probably actively harmful.

🚨BREAKING The Scottish Government has recalled Flamingo Land's application to build a mega-resort on the shores of Loch Lomond! After they initially refused to act, over 50,000 of you joined our campaign and emailed the planning minister. They now must reject the application and save Loch Lomond.
