Maybe blame the corporations that contribute SIGNIFICANTLY more to climate change than any individual rather than blaming life-saving medications people need to BREATHE!

Fuck ALL THE WAY off with this bullshit.

I was thinking of going as "millennial existential dread" but there are far too many things to amalgamate into 1 costume, it would be too heavy 🤣

Niiice! I went to China for work last year and going again later this month, it's a stunning place!
I'll also be chatting to Nature folks there this time around 🤓

It's a reasonable expectation, if a little naive. But to call the uni, on behalf of your GROWN ASS CHILD, after ONE (1) cancelled class is unhinged.

I mean, that's just MENTAL.
Some folks just have no grip on reality. A professor falling sick?! That could literally never happen.

You ever go out to a pub/club and get the impression the DJ is actively trying to make the patrons leave?
That's happened to me & my friends the last 2 Fridays in a row in the same place.

Probably never going back 🙃

Went to see Lewis Capaldi in Birmingham the other night and the best video is this one of him messing up the lyrics 🤣

It sometimes bugs me that "Greenhouse Gas" is given the acronym "GHG". It's not Green House Gas...

But then I remember that POSYTYF exists 🥴

There will also be a roundtable discussion with some folks over at Nature, including @natenergy.nature.com and @natrevcleantech.nature.com

Should be super interesting! 🤓

Going to Dublin (4 days) and China (5 days + travel time) for work next month, with 1 week in between, and I'm tired just thinking about this 😭

I hear this all the time when people try to "sell" cricket.

If your selling point of the sport is the drinking and a load of other stuff that *isn't* watching, then that is quite literally the opposite of a spectator sport.

I'll stick to *watching* football and rugby, thanks very much.

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 26d

Cricket is, by far, the best spectator sport. It's basically just a beer garden with sport happening somewhere in the background. Watch, don't watch, have a stroll around, eat, talk, it doesn't matter. A brilliant day out.

The main street in Birmingham is an auditory (and visual) hellhole! 😣

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 26d

Street performing, public speaking or preaching are all fine as long as no amplification is involved. Microphones and amps are for increading the volume of sound that people paid to hear or at least wanted to hear. Go acoustic or piss off.
