Margaret Hamilton was not a mean girl. She was just awesome. She wants you to get in the car with her and all her awesome calculations because we're going to the moon!

A variation on a long-standing gripe of mine... So much "how-to" advice online now is by way of YouTube video... And unless it's something which really needs visuals (and most stuff doesn't) I'd much prefer a bullet point list

Anyone that wants to allow corner cutting in building management of any kind needs to be strapped to a chair Clockwork Orange style and forced to repeatedly watch footage of Bradford, Kings Cross, Piper Alpha, 9/11, and Grenfell on repeat until they work out why the corners exist.

Seeing this just fills me with absolute despair at the climate situation. We are still at peak emissions. We haven't even begun decreasing emissions and even if we did, the warming that's baked from past emissions will last for centuries. We're cooked.

First time in months I've felt like staying under the covers because it's 'cold' outside. It just shows what a ridiculously long hot spell we've had in the past few months.

(2) PERSON 1: Only two instruments remain. Do we want to lose the plasma wave subsystem or the magnetometer?

Andy Burnham says this whilst sitting on the most aggressive anti-protest laws of our lifetimes, which have been used to arrest and charge nuns for holding signs protesting a genocide.
It was because Manchester’s humble mill workers took a principled stand.

During the American civil war, despite the hardships it brought them, they refused to touch raw cotton that had been picked by slaves.

In 1862, people with little power used it to help those with none on the other side of the world.

The best change is change like that, bottom-up change led by people.

And whatever distorted view social media offers today, the world is still full of good and decent people who are ready stand up for what is right.

Government has spent years arguing in court that elderly Quakers sitting down and holding placards about Palestinian Action are, in fact, terrorists who must be treated as such. Meanwhile their reaction to these people is to stress that they understand their "reasonable concerns". Infuriating.

Saudi sells oil in dollars which increases demand for $. This lets the US borrow more cheaply and run a big budget deficit. If the oil is sold in another currency, demand for dollars decreases and makes borrowing dearer and undermines the US government. I'm sure someone else can explain better
