Please can you tell me what the purpose is of spreading numerous areas of dry sand along the Tamsin Trail? It isn’t compressed and poses a hazard to cyclists and other wheeled users. Rain forecast this week will turn it into slurry. 🤔 @theroyalparks.bsky.social

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.
Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Thames Water needs £3bn in 8 weeks or it goes bankrupt.
It must go bankrupt, it must not get a penny from Government, it must not be allowed to raise bills.
It is a private company, and it has private debts.

Currently the UK is generating 73.8% of its power from wind.
If we had built Wind Turbines in all the best locations we would currently have about 400% power generation from wind.
Green Energy can power everything easily and cheaply.
That is why Fossil Fuel are so desperate to block it,

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
