My fourth consecutive bedtime reading a book called Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and I think I'm just about ready to come out against child literacy. I'm going to become the reverse Dolly Parton and devote my fortune to taking books away from children.

Folks, we're terribly sorry to announce that there was a LinkedIn spill that broke containment and leeched into Bluesky. While the spill is being handled, we ask that you refrain from discussions about synergy, hustle, paradigm shifts, and praise for grind culture. Thank you for your cooperation.

as discussed previously ad nauseam I will always support a chaotic local business against a seamless chain but tonight my local pub had "run out of white wine" before even 6pm and like that's just you can't have that as a pub, on a Friday night, how did this even happen

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.

Charge Altman and/or Amodei with violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Bring the hammer down like we did on poor Aaron Swartz. Then we’ll see if their products continue to “break containment”.

Burnham should totally do something supporting EVs for key workers, if everyone's concerned about affordability The average driver would save ~£750/year in an EV by my calcs Obviously lack of driveways is an issue for some, but there's so many opportunities

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Campaign for Better Transport @bettertransport.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The Government has announced that 29 new battery-electric trains will be built in Derby, to run between key destinations in the north of England. Here's our reaction.

Ben Plowden of Campaign for Better Transport says: "This is positive news for jobs and the economy in the Midlands. And with more accessible trains, speedier journeys and thousands more seats, it's great news for passengers in the north of England too. In fact, we all benefit when better rail journeys tempt more people on board, from clearer roads, cleaner air and a more stable climate. However, it is important that in celebrating these new bimode trains - which are undoubtedly better than diesel - we don't forget about the need to electrify our rail network."
