Solar and wind now dominate global electricity generation. Worldwide, solar and wind power will each surpass nuclear in 2026. This surge has halted fossil fuel power generation rise, with renewables overtaking coal, supported by battery storage providing system flexibility at scale.

100% all of this ❣️ thank you for recommending the book. Our stories build our world, and we should be the ones building that, expressing that, finding ways to expand our perspectives and deepen our empathy, remember, learn, love, and more — not machines

💯 So much this 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Can I recommend/plug “Between Two Rivers” by @moudhy.bsky.social to really highlight this point — we humans, connecting to humans in our deep past, who in turn were also connecting to humans in their deep past — through storytelling. The machines can *never* do this.

“Lebanese hilltop border towns and villages are now hard to recognise. Once characterised by their winding streets lined with stone buildings overlooking sweeping valleys, verified videos now show how they have turned grey from dust and debris of explosions.”

Or the Neo-Assyrian governor who was like “I wag my tail like a dog for you, and you never reply to my messages”. Taram-Kubi complaining that her brother sold her textiles for too little. Urad-Gula complaining about being excluded from court and therefore dying of a “broken heart”. So so many

Love this. The exception might be cuneiform…almost everything you read has not felt the light of day for thousands of years. Every ancient letter, receipt, star map, math problem, or fragment of a poem is new again. It adds to our knowledge and remembrance. It absolutely is thrilling 🧡

What was taxation like in the ancient world? #TaxDay In the Assyrian Empire, the imperial core extracted resources in the forms of taxation and tribute from the settlements it took over, meaning wealth disparity increased as the empire expanded. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Next book! “Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History” by Moudhy Al-Rashid. As some of you may have noticed from some of the past few books I’ve read, I’ve become quite obsessed with ancient history, particularly…(1/)

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Supervisors an students. An ancient tale. This one is about ~4,000 years old. It always feels kinda special to think that I share a deeper Mesopotamian ancestry with the authors of these works, in particular astronomy topics or as I am now, a student!

“All that he has, Like smoke, Into the sky will evaporate.” - Sumerian proverb One side of the tablet has the neat teacher’s handwriting, while the other seems to show the less perfect, but still lovely, student’s copy. It was made in a Babylonian school around 1900-1600 BCE

Photo of a round-shaped cuneiform tablet with well-preserved lines of text shown from the front, back and sides. The top image of the tablet’s front shows neat cuneiform handwriting while the bottom image of the back shows slightly clunkier handwriting.
