BBC muzzling one of its best presenters from making an excellent, wholly factual programme because heat pumps are “controversial”. An organisation badly in need of new leadership.

So true - Tesla’s valuation lost all contact with reality about 5 years ago.

"The company reported a $409 million profit for the first quarter of 2025, down 71% year-over-year. It also sold $595 million in regulatory credits, meaning without those, it would have slipped back into the red for the first time in years." techcrunch.com/storyline/te...

Well done Starmer. Your negative trans comments purposely staged at a press session during a school visit look even better now 🙄

I love 'Tomorrow's world' & I miss it, somehow other gadget/innovation shows miss a kind of excitement, positivity, wonder. And historical visions of the future are always fun. I'm glad kitchens didn't turn out to be that ugly, but it has some smart ideas youtu.be/u0gr4vfCvRU?...

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

That feeling when you try to imagine a former administration releasing an all-caps statement of the president’s, er, business genius

One of my friends has been told she is “pre-diabetic” and was confused about the various types of sweeteners and the possible risks & consequences. Turns out a lot of friends are confused too. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Here is an episode of Sliced Bread on the subject & Short v long studies

This is a dangerous highly contagious disease we have had vaccination for, for over 60 years. This is a disease humanity can eradicate as a result, because humans are the ONLY reservoir for the virus. There is no benefit to measles existing. Vaccination should be mandatory.

It's surreal to me, not as an immigrant but a human, that the "send people back where they came from" is a burning issue in 2025. From dawn of civilisation people have travelled, not just to invade and conquer, but to grow, create new cultures. It's how the world's been shaped for 2 million years!

Holocaust survivor confronts Trump’s ICE Director. “History is NOT on your side!”

A US trade deal will be harmful to our economy, our health and the environment. 👇🏽

Some people still seem to think sucking up to Trump will get us a trade deal with the US But we don’t want a deal on Trump’s terms that puts out food standards & our ability to regulate the US tech oligarchs on the table! Starmer needs to find a backbone! No state visit!

Good morning. I'm pretty sure all those rednecks who suddenly supported Tesla will be reconsidering purchasing now... www.reuters.com/business/aut...

It's interesting how Israel always used to say that Hamas is trying to wipe it off the map of the earth. But what's actually happening is that Israel is wiping off Palestinians off the map by conducting a systematic genocide in Gaza in real time. And yet political leaders don't give care at all.

We are nearing the end.

well i am sure this administration will take strong action to make sure food safety is a top priority going forwa… hold on i am getting an update
