Berwick upon Tweed. Still at war with Imperial Russian. An urban myth, but a good one, with some evidence.

Just got back from two weeks of work in Iraq. Met folk with severe trauma. I've been many times, but always fall into some sort of reflective maelstrom when I get home. Does my work make a positive impact on that fragile society? I work in education so of course it does. Am I right?

I’m not a huge fan of parsnips but those parsnips with Chorizo and sherry and also Chilli, garlic and basil roasties have got my name on them.

As incoming president, I'd like to congratulate all the speakers accepted for the IATEFL conference in Edinburgh next year. Looking forward to a joyous few days. #IATEFL2025 #IATEFL

This is interesting stuff, in particular around the percentage of energy use variation by country and the improving efficiency of data centres. Only part of the story but interesting. @vickysaumell.bsky.social

What’s the impact of artificial intelligence on energy demand?
The International Energy Agency (IEA) thinks we should all chill out a bit.

We really need future COPs to be hosted by non-fossil -fuel producers with reasonable green commitments at gov. level. Oh and speaking in an intersectional way, with decent human rights too.

something so grim about this
This is a screenshot of a tweet in which Zelenskyy says his independent nation cannot be forced to the negotiating table - only for Elon Musk to laugh at his “sense of humour”

Oh oh, I've just had a "hello Babe" message on here. Dealt with, but that's a pity but I suppose inevitable.

Although most of my adult life has been in London I'm now in rural Scotland much of the time. When in London I'm now a kid in a sweet shop. Do kids still go to sweet shops. Maybe all we have now are those American Candy places that make my headache.

It's quite nice here isn't it. Like the debating society in a liberal arts college, with leafy grounds. Well-behaved folk enjoy gin with their friends and putting the world to rights. How long until a fight breaks out I wonder.

First post. One of the reasons I live in the middle of a field in Scotland is that I don't like people very much. In particular those who eat hot fast food in trains. My only neighbour is even more misanthropic than I am. Having said that I absolutely believe in humanity's ability to achieve things.
