Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.

Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Welcome to Planet Datacenter Prime
We’d better hope it’s a bubble and it bursts soon because otherwise Google and Nvidia will have converted the entire surface of the Earth to datacenters by 2032.
Wanna know how I know it's a bubble?

Most universities are on a knife edge and subsidising everything from foreign student fees are the only thing holding them together. If this goes through it’s over for half the universities in England

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

When I go to a gig, I don’t want to sing along. I don’t want to listen to anybody else sing along either. I have paid money to listen to the people on stage. Just them.
Is that controversial? Killjoy curmudgeonly?

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

I didn’t think the larger publishers would join in. Then I thought there would inevitably be a fudge compromise. Happy to have been wrong (so far). Impressive what can happen when authors act collectively.
