Did you know that the number of pharmacies in England open after 9pm has decreased by 95% in just three years?
I did some data analysis on this, inspired by needing an out of hours pharmacy over Christmas, and it has been featured in the Financial Times today: as.ft.com/r/4333cab1-6...

If I’d known Dale Vince was going to keep rattling off the same lies for two years I’d have done a better job of explaining his absolutely laughable fever dream of powering the entire country with vegan biogas. Hes at it again so here’s the same bloody post again. philsturgeon.com/why-is-dale-...

Dale Vince has been lying about heat pumps for days so he can sell more vegan gas. WTF does that even mean?

Give me a few more paid subscribers and I’ll do an expose on how the entire U.K. environmental movement bought into well proven lies and entirely fucked the U.K.s most critical green infrastructure (HS2) out of existence, but there’s one party who wants to make it happen.
Follow my blog. There’s a lot of swearing, but there’s a lot of long drawn out stories about amazing things happening if you truly pour your hear into giving a fuck about something. It might be what you need right now. philsturgeon.com/january-was-...

Right here’s something to be cheerful about: the wonderful @philsturgeon.com has finally bought 81 acres in the West Country for re-wilding. I can’t wait to see it IRL.

It has been a long wait but the sale of the land near Bath, UK has finally gone through. We now own 81 acres of land on the banks of the River Avon which we are calling Warleigh Nature Reserve.
New website on the way, but for now you can sign up here for email updates! warleighnaturereserve.org

Both of these are kinda fucked due to intentional decisions made by Tesla to screw over customers.
The EV charger will only charge Tesla EVs and the Powerwall essentially cannot ever be upgraded.
