Bluesky has just photographed me to verify my age. Now all the posts I see are people shouting just past me to ask if he takes sugar in his tea.

Not sure this headline really captures the story. It could transform farming everywhere, not just Scotland. Essentially these guys have worked out how to conjure ammonia from thin air by shouting magic spells at some water. At least I think that’s what it says.

I’m deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Sir Professor Geoff Palmer KT. He was not only a distinguished scientist & academic, but also a courageous voice for justice & equality. My sincere condolences to his family & all who knew and admired him. May his soul rest in peace. 🕊️

I’m convinced Peter’s #journorequests are part of some kind of situationist prank. Can anyone read Mandarin? Who manages QOTSA? Do you know anyone who collects left handed teaspoons? WHAT DOES PURPLE SMELL LIKE?!?

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a bad concert. Sound at Iron Maiden at the Hydro in 2017 was a bit sludgy but that’s about it.

I hate to say it, but talking at the Barras is becoming endemic. It was irritating at the, really very loud, Self Esteem gig but at the, sometimes very very quiet, Father John Misty gig it was a real evening spoiler.

Can I give a weird little postscript to the wildfires that have been raging in Scotland? Back in January conspiracy theorists, usually climate emergency sceptics, suggested the LA fires were faked, or deliberately started to support net zero policies. Same thing has happened here. 1/2

Let’s work on the basis it’s correct; Senator Kelly’s a traitor. So the question now is, “what’s he done to become a traitor?” And the only answer is he’s disagreed with Musk’s view on Ukraine. So now we know what constitutes treachery in the modern US.

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.
A graphic with a blue sky background and white clouds. The text reads: "Harmful NO2 levels are estimated to be lower in 2024 compared to a scenario without ULEZ". The reductions are listed as follows: Central London – 54% lower, Inner London – 29% lower, Outer London – 24% lower. A source link at the bottom reads: london.gov.uk/ulez.

There are lots of journalists I genuinely like who’ve given me some of the hardest times I’ve ever had. We both know it’s not a game, but at the same time there’s no point falling out once the shouting’s done.
