This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. Weโ€™ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Donโ€™t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Keir Starmer, climate leader (when the Treasury lets him) The U.K. prime minister is heading to the COP30 climate summit in Brazil to show climate still matters Britain, even in the age of Trump. But back at home, Starmer blows hot and cold on all things โ€ฆ

This is not what climate leadership looks like.

Reminder: the economy is completely dependent on the environment. There is NO economy on a dead planet

A series of tweets. 

From user @marcialynn:

This is infuriating. SNAP recipients get Grey Poupon but l have to settle for generic mustard because it's all I can afford?

A reply from @pat_alex0:

You could afford two of those fancy mustards a month if you stopped wasting money on a blue check. Hope this helps!

And then @marcialynn again:

Piss off.

Much talk about how train services can be made safer in the wake of the Huntingdon attack.

Perhaps stop treating mental health services as the poor relation within the NHS?

Rayner.

This is not a coincidence.

The Tory Media try to target the women, not because the Tory Media is strong, but because the Tory Media are scared - and feel threatened by empowered women.

I'm leaving academia (for now)
YouTube video by Dr Gilbz I'm leaving academia (for now)

It's Halloween, and to celebrate (?) I made a big scary decision...

I love climate research and polar science, but academia broke me. And more importantly, I feel like climate comms is where I can have more impact.

... So I've left academia. Wish me luck ๐ŸŽƒ

Reform politicians only express concern for women when the perpetrator is a foreigner.

When parliament held a debate to discuss what to do about what the National Audit Office call the "worsening epidemic of violence against women and girls," guess how many Reform MPs turned up?

Not a single one.
