I absolutely LOVE learning cool new facts about the earth and sharing them with people 🤩 This year at @latitudefestival.bsky.social, @cosmicshambles.com gave me the chance to briefly talk about LLSVPs (Large low-shear-velocity provinces), areas in the Earth’s mantle that may have a 😱 origin…

What is the UK "fly camping" epidemic? Here's what the stats (not social media) reveal - they will surprise you
Is unlawful, irresponsible fly camping increasing in our national parks, or is the “algorithmic loop” painting an overly negative picture?

it is worth submitting a complaint over this to the BBC. And if you're unhappy about the response, then Ofcom. Editors hate defending content with Ofcom and in my experience do take heed and are more rigourous in future...

It’s impossible to read this about the police still wasting huge resources attempting to convict people for peacefully walking slowly and then begin to comprehend the craven police inaction over Tommo and his violent masked thugs. Can anyone explain it?

Manosphere golden boy Clavicular, 20, was just charged with drugging and raping a minor. In the last month alone, he was platformed on Barstool, Red Scare, and David Sacks' podcast. The 'Gen Z masculinity' pipeline keeps producing the same alleged crime and the same excuses.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

the only threats "AI" poses to society are when people put it in charge of things that require thought, or crash the economy over it, or destroy the environment to power it. but it's people doing all of those things. AI poses zero threat by itself as it cannot do anything due to not existing

The lies about the RNLI aren’t new. Publishing and circulating images of individual volunteers to an already-radicalised audience is. That is where online hatred starts becoming a real-world safety issue. In today's post I address four of the most pervasive myths surrounding the RNLI.
