Seeksorrow would use a diary to write thrilling (largely fictional) tales about his adventures 🏴‍☠️

Saw some security people in London yesterday with faces covered (looking like ICE agents in the US)

An old Londoner with a dog went over to shout at them to "stop hiding your faces, you wimps"

Britain is great

Your adventure begins when you find a note pinned to a tavern door with a knife 🔪 📝

What does the note say?

My pitch on polarisation and climate change: let's not argue with each other so much that we don't notice the house is one fire

My job is to link academics & journalists

Academics are (sometimes frustratingly) cautious about giving comments/opinions - even on subjects just outside their expertise

And yet Trump's quite happy to call climate science a "con"

Being confident doesn't make you right
