We spent decades doing research to produce mRNA vaccines, which could save millions of people from preventable deaths from countless diseases, and a conspiracy theorist with no medical background is going to throw it all away

LOL! For years, this was a tried and trusted business model in Abuja. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s become even more sophisticated now.

After the inevitable robot takeover in 2035 (or thereabouts), I can see @visitwakefield.bsky.social 's posts becoming some kind of Rosetta Stone, the human resistance use to plant a virus in the evil AI bot hive mind 🤔

The frequency of crypto rugs pulls is hilarious. It's like playing "got your nose" with a baby.

This is an crucial point that is too often overlook in fossil fuel phase out convos Renewables needn’t replace all the coal, oil and gas we use bc most of it is just used to produce and move those fossil fuels around We need only replace useful energy: 37% of what we currently produce 🤯🧵👇

A little over a year ago I was in Texas, where I preached a sermon for an explicitly inclusive Episcopalian church which had made its home in a strip mall - we don't have them in the UK but it was just like those you see on TV, a parking lot with glass fronted units beside an enormous road.

If I worked at a newspaper, I’d ask why we have to keep coming up with novel phrases like “mass detention camp” to describe Trump’s plans instead of using a more familiar term.

Currently delivering a very interesting session with the brilliant @tdnewton.bsky.social - if you are interested in filtering in education, it's well worth a watch when the link goes up later.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

The man in the automated message on the Manchester Civil Justice Centre phone number genuinely sounds unhinged. It only gets worse the longer you listen. Just wait for the bit about bailiffs. Who approved this???

Why this obsession with ‘I’ve got to go with my gut’? How do we retrain society away from this? You don’t have a ‘gut.’ Your ‘gut’ is anxiety, bias and received wisdom. Your gut is panicky and probably a little bit racist. Use your head instead.
