Striking conclusion after findings that human brains can contain as much microplastics as a small spoon “Bottled water alone can expose people to nearly as many microplastic particles annually as all ingested and inhaled sources combined” www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

Want to avoid microplastics in your brain? Here’s how you could
Ditching bottled water and using glass containers for leftovers could slash your exposure to the tiny particles, a study suggests

Pssst, want to know what public money is really being spent on while Wes Streeting cancels another Labour pledge of building more hospitals? £11 billion 840 million of State aid (public money) is being pumped into 74 deregulated Special Economic Zones (SEZs), that's £160 million per zone. 👀💰💸💵

On Searching for a Book of Stamps
 
check in wallet
check once more
hunt through bag
look in drawer
 
feel coat pockets
peer in pot
rifle desk
find them not
 
shake out shoes
lift up hat
inspect fridge
ask the cat
 
scour the shelves
peek in purse
turn out cupboards
swear & curse
 
go to shop
buy new stamps
put in wallet
next to stamps

I’m reminded that to French people Chat GPT can sound like “cat, I have farted”… (Chat, J'ai pété) But when it’s pronounced as ChatteGPT, it would be the even more vulgar “pussy, I’ve farted”. So, arguably we could start calling CHAT GPT by the classy name of “Fanny Farts”

The Good Old Days
 
Pity the poor children
of today, with their calendars
stuffed with chocolates,
 
never to know the thrill
of opening a small cardboard door
and discovering behind it
 
a picture of a bell.

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange

This is smart and really sweetens the case for solar. “By shading crops with solar panels, we created a microclimate that helped certain crops produce more, but they were also better able to survive heat waves and the shade helped conserve water”

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology
a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

26 years until the UK has to switch off the natural gas network. Sounds like a long time, but it really isn't. To meet that target, 840,000 homes need to come off gas every year. To put that in perspective, just 40,000 heat pumps were installed in 2023. That's a massive gap.
