Bonkers progress on UK's Net Zero Goal. 2020 estimate was it'd cost £402 billion. Today (5 years later): costs £108 billion... THREE QUARTERS CHEAPER plz excuse the caps, I'm v excited www.carbonbrief.org/ccc-reducing...

Ah yes, they are going to reduce energy bills by increasing taxes on the cheapest form of energy, got it

New Video! After a long campaign, and many years of uncertainty, it's finally been confirmed that the Portishead line in Bristol WILL be reopening! youtu.be/TQA802ThoB0

We're 5/5 now for times I've asked GenAI something and it's given me a convincing-sounding but wrong answer

Just changed my electricity supplier, feeling a little bit emotional

New Video! I'm a bit late to the party in reporting on this, but this video aims to break down the transport implications of Rachel Reeves' latest announcements on her efforts to grow the economy: youtu.be/uDYCH238_-g

Chancellor: new runways would make the UK the 'world's best-connected place to do business'... Me: (on a delayed train) 🤦‍♂️ If the gvt were really concerned about UK business dynamism perhaps consider connecting more of it by rail & make it better & cheaper! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If only there was another UK large infrastructure project to boost growth, basically ready to go, without the extra pollution of a third runway #hs2

💥 It passes!! 💥 The Youth Mobility (EU Countries) Bill has just passed its first reading. No opposition voiced by the govt. your thousands of emails stopped them shutting it down. Well done @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social on a superb speech. 👏👏👏

I don't know how I feel about rent controls, but the ability to withhold rent in cases of serious disrepair could be a really easy & cheap way to improve the quality of the rental stock in the UK

BBC news comments seem extremely against whichever political figure the article is about - right or left. Result of social media algorithms only showing to people who will be angered by it perhaps?

If your software architecture book is telling people not to put plaintext passwords on GitHub, then it's not a Intermediate/Advanced book. Can we be a bit more selective please!

An evening walk around #bristol the other day

@bsky.app can we have the ability to post polls next please?

Whiplash is a stressful film

Glad someone is finally calling for the return of the sausages

People be saying they don't like fish before they've tried pan fried sea bass

I have multiple years worth of photos to edit

Can people please stop posting pictures of Musk's tweets, came on here specifically to avoid them, or can we have a way to mute words in pictures #bluesky

Today is officially (according to me) the first day of autumn

I've recently started putting post-it notes on particularly insightful pages of books that I've been reading. I occasionally read something so good that I find myself wanting to put one on every page

After they went underground for 20 years, nobody would listen to my warnings, but I knew the Redbridge bin collectors would strike again

Lastest should be a word and it should be a synonym for latest

I saw a plane travelling very quickly today

Respect to Biden for standing down. We'll never know if he could have won but he's shown character by putting his personal ambitions and pride second to his beliefs.

Getting big Friday vibes from this Thursday
