My much repeated story - around 2013 when I worked in local government, the BBC reported on a survey that found most people hadn’t noticed any effect of austerity. A colleague said, “people are going to get up one day, look around and say this place is a shit hole, what happened?”

People suddenly feeling very relaxed about safe drug use projects opening up in Pimlico
Ideas to devalue your £2m home:
Install an outdoors glass cubicle toilet on your front drive and make sure you use it regularly. Keep eye contact with anyone who sees you using it.

Licking an ice cream cone isn’t gay-coded, but it is gross (for everyone)
Sorry, not sorry xx

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Bias against Trump show it’s…. Hold on a min’
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Farming out propaganda labour to Southeast Asian engagement factories, is it? I think it hugely unlikely this pays for itself, and therefore hugely unlikely the people behind it are Thai, tbqh
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

There’s a word we used to say. They don’t let you say it anymore, but I think it’s a beautiful word. We call it: dialectic. You have the thesis, and then the antithesis, and if you put them together it’s a synthesis. Very powerful. We’ll be looking into that. Very materialist, the theory of history
TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
