Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

This reflection on Prunella Scales has been put up by The Guardian, and her son, Samuel, reckons she'd have loved it. Definitely worth sharing here:

www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/o...

Prunella Scales was a queen of comedy with a passion for classical theatre

The actor best known as TV’s Sybil Fawlty dazzled over five decades on stage, in roles from from Shakespeare to Alan Bennett

Sunset, earlier, was a chilly but beaut one ☀️🍂✨

A streak of golden sunlight from this evening’s setting sun, peaking through clouds over (in the distance) Bodmin. There’s the silhouette of a tree in the foreground. This is on Kit Hill in South East Cornwall, a well-known and high point in the county, with a 360 degree view of the landscape around and below.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.
