The science breakthrough of 2025 is Solar Energy, not because it is new but because of how successful its deployment has been. This year renewable energy surpassed coal as a source of electricity worldwide. Hopeful sign for what’s to come.

In my current work, I point to the invasion of Iraq 2003 as a moment where the public's trust in the foundational ideals of democracy, verification, deliberation, and accountability were systematically betrayed, destroying their trust in democratic systems.
Its nice the kids get to experience their own 2003 style build-up to an unjust war like we did.

In the same 24 hour period Russia broke its own record by blindly hurling 472 Shahed drones at Ukrainian cities for no tactical purpose beyond terror and pain, and Ukraine executed a carefully planned infiltration strike decimating Russian strategic aviation.

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

5 days until I run the London Marathon for @samaritans.bsky.social! This will be my first marathon, and training has been full of injuries! But almost there.
If you would consider sponsoring me, it would make such a difference in this final run up to the day itself.

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”.
Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

I am running the London Marathon in just over 8 weeks time! This will be my first marathon, which is very exciting, and I'm running it to raise money for the Samaritans.
If you'd consider sponsoring me I would be incredibly grateful - will go a long way to get through this final training push!

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
