#beavers living in the River Isar in pretty central #München, Germany. The Isar has been “renatured” (German term)/“rewilded” (English term), and is a total joy. Read more here urban-waters.org/en/projects/.... Thrilled voiceover by my daughters, video by my husband, June 2024.

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero
1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

The UK Assisted Dying Bill has huge public support and has been passed by MPs, but it’s being held up in the House of Lords. There’s a real risk it could run out of time and fail. I’ve signed a petition asking the House of Lords not to block the bill. If you want to join me, do so here: 38d.gs/y1bp
Don’t block the assisted dying bill from passing in the Lords
The public wants it. MPs voted for it. The House of Lords must not block it. Sign the petition to support the Assisted Dying Bill

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

They should hire this judge to help cut federal spending.
She managed to save Tesla $50 billion with no impact on productivity. And no layoffs.

Elon Musk’s pay package from Tesla, worth more than $50 billion, cannot be reinstated, a Delaware judge ordered. The judge said she would not reverse her decision to strike down the enormous compensation package, which helped make Musk the richest person in the world. nyti.ms/4gfDcGX

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.
Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

A fresh dawn. It feels good to be here. And it turns out that of course I simply prefer the colour blue for my social media whimsy.
