Are you in 'popular with friends' rather than 'following'?

"Clout chasing" "engagement farming" 🧑🏼‍🌾 Two phrases for aggressively quote-posting instead of just replying like a normal person. If this ever irks you, BlueSky has given us a marvellous antidote. Click on the three dots in the quote post and select 'detach quote'. #TheArchers

It's almost as though roads (and traffic) don't increase local air temperatures by a measurable margin. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Two women marvel at how hot their cars say it is, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it's so fucking hot right now thanks to decade upon decade of fossil-fuel burning motor traffic and the road network itself which acts like a storage radiator, absorbing heat during the day and releasing it at night

I do the same. But my heart sank yesterday evening when I opened everything up and it was still 31°C outside. No relief at all. Went for a walk around the block and managed to catch a breeze. I don't think the temp dropped below 26° all night. Want these roller blinds but they don't deliver to UK

They mentioned this on #R4Today recently but I was left confused by what the actual story was. This explains it well and it's really interesting:

I'd love to see a character like the rapper Fekky on #TheArchers. Having grown up in Lewisham he didn't realise how massive pigs are until he bought his own farm. Maybe a cameo appearance? Roadie Mick must know someone who knows someone who knows how to get in touch with him

Thanks, Falke. I went back to the article in case I'd misunderstood. Definitely no mention of heat exchangers in Grauniad! Another case of 'shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers.' Here's a grab of the article - and diagram - if you haven't seen it yet.

Imagine my surprise when I saw where this van driver had parked. (Yes, he wasn't turning. This is where he left his van). It inconvenienced: 1) a man pushing his kid in a pushchair trying to get by 2) a neighbour who is registered blind 3) me #urbanism

I can't help it. This is what I got when I asked about Helen and Dane. They paired her up with Dan Hebden-Lloyd. And said she's very resilient and able to handle difficult circumstances. I'm going to stop now I need to do stuff this afternoon 😆 #TheArchers

This is great - the historic Calstock Ferry has been revived. It's solar-powered, and goes from Ferry Farm on the Devon side of the Tamar across to Calstock in Cornwall, as well as upriver to Gunnislake along a bit of river seldom seen as it's so inaccessible calstockferry.com

LGW's 2nd runway is being presented as 'a victory for holidaymakers' by the govt today. But only yesterday, the Climate Change C'ttee (that advises govt) said prices would have to go up to put people off flying and thereby keep emissions in check. A victory for rich holidaymakers then?
Chart showing 53% of Brits didn't fly in 2023; 23% flew once; 12% flew twice; 5% flew 3 times and 7% flew more than 4 times
