Nothing bad happens if someone doesn't iron their clothes. It is a total eco-hostile waste of time and energy (both human and literal). There should be a worldwide campaign to outlaw it. People could opt to wear a little badge that shows "I'm creased because I care".

Thanks Andrew, the news BBCWS plan to cut Science in Action, alongside a load of other programmes to meet big savings targets, came as a shock.
Truly terrible move by BBC World Service to axe its flagship science news show #ScienceInAction, the world's best, smartest science journalism in audio for a global audience. Host @peaseroland.bsky.social is the most insightful, informed, energetic journo in the BBC Science Universe.
