I think it's probably time. I used to think of twitter as a place you came to set the record straight. That idea seems ludicrous now. @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social

Members, you have until 11.59pm tomorrow. I don’t know about you but Restore Trust hasn’t knocked anything into me yet, and I’m feeling pretty great.

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France.
Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries.
The magic of Brexit.

Human induced climate change denier, Jordan Peterson, is debunked in this new video. He won't debate me and even blocked me for pointing out his errors. Sources in the thread. Let me know who I should debunk next? #ClimateBrawl

Renewable energy is cheap and getting cheaper. The historic costs of renewables are not the future costs of renewables – i.e. many of the subsidies that were put in place that have added costs to bills e.g. Feed in Tariffs have now been removed precisely because costs have fallen

'What we terminally ill need is to be allowed the hope that if life becomes intolerable, we can ask for help to leave it. That we are given the right to choose, not to shorten our lives, but to shorten our deaths, for our own sake, and for the sake of those who care about us.' Well said, @ERantzen.

2 things. 1) You can not buy the National Trust. You can not buy shares in it. We members are supporters, not owners. It is a national institution and it’s owned by and for everyone. EVERYONE … This is very important for offshore funders to understand.

“Surely it was completely illegitimate to turn away hundreds of National Trust members before the AGM happened.” @zewditweets
“It's pretty undemocratic for a membership-owned organisation to refuse its members attendance.” @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

“Tales of London Town is a gift for those of us hungering to stay a while in Aiken’s imagination. She appeals to this inner child in any of her adult readers. Her stories are pure flights of imagination.” @Kiran_MH

Gov. Walz: We respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves. There's a golden rule, mind your own damn business. I don't need you telling me about our health care. I don't need you telling us who we love. And I sure the hell don't need you telling us what books we're going to read

Imane Khelif was born a woman from Algeria, where being gay or transgender is a crime. She was cleared to fight at the Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.
The amount of hate and transphobia she's facing is vile, baseless, and harmful to her life. She's a woman.
