#Baresi #CAPITANO One of the best defenders of all time. No more needs to be said to understand the loss to football. But he was more than that; A leader, a friend, a talisman, a legend. And alongside his family, the world of football grieves the passing of No.6 www.acmilan.com/en/news/arti...

The way Good Morning Britain interviewed Zack Polanski was absurd. They were basically insisting that “net zero” (aka climate policies) are a long term thing project, and that we have to deal with the here and now as well. Which they’re asserting means more fossil fuel investment. They can’t grasp..

Today the UK 🇬🇧 is cooking with temperatures set to hit around 34°C ☀️🌡️🌻🥵 Days like today remind me why the sooner society transitions to renewable energy, the better for everyone. 😎🌞🌬️🍃🌊 Renewables aren't perfect and not 0% pollution, but it would be a massive step in the right direction. ✅

When people magnify the environmental impacts of renewables, the implication is that they must somehow be worse than the existing energy system In reality the existing energy system is not just more destructive than renewables - it's more destructive than anyone even realises

This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

Generally not bothered about Scottish football, but took a passing interest because something exciting, uplifting, different was going to happen... But no. Yet again, the title winner is same old same old.

The UK set a new record for renewable energy generation over the last few weeks We need to continue this push to be 100% renewable and then look at the surrounding sectors involved to further realise benefits (logistics, energy grid maintenance etc)
Screenshot from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) Android app cropped to show the two UK records recently set for maximum wind power produced of 23880MW on 25/03/2026 and maximum solar power of 14414MW achieved on 07/04/2026

Can't say I'm surprised. In addition to US Government policies making it such a "welcoming" place to visit right now, it's compounded by greedy FIFA setting high ticket prices and ridiculously low fan association ticket allowances; ENG vs CRO is 4k each team, so 8k total, out of 94k

New Venezuela statement from all 26 EU member states:
STATEMENT
The European Union calls for calm and restraint by all actors, to avoid escalation and to ensure a peaceful solution to the crisis.
The EU recalls that, under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be upheld. Members of the United Nations Security Council have a particular responsibility to uphold those principles, as a pillar of the international security architecture.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Nicolás Maduro lacks the legitimacy of a democratically elected president and has advocated for a Venezuelan-led peaceful transition to democracy in the country, respectful of its sovereignty. The right of the Venezuelan people to determine their future must be respected.
The EU shares the priority of combating transnational organised crime and drug trafficking, which pose a significant security threat worldwide. At the same time, the EU stresses that these challenges must be addressed through sustained cooperation in full respect of international law and the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty.
We are in close contact with the United States, as well as regional and international partners to support and facilitate dialogue with all parties involved, leading to a negotiated, democratic, inclusive and peaceful solution to the crisis, led by Venezuelans.
Respecting the will of the Venezuelan people remains the only way for Venezuela to restore democracy and resolve the current crisis.
At this critical time, it is essential that all actors fully respect human rights and international humanitarian law. All political prisoners currently detained in Venezuela must be unconditionally released.
EU Member States' consular authorities are working in close coordination in order to protect the safety of EU citizens, including those illegally detained in Venezuela.

Before starting dry January, is it common practice to empty your house of alcohol first? If so, I'll need to drink a bottle of vodka, two bottles of gin, limoncello, three bottles of wine, and a load of beers before Thursday and that's scary!

On the wall is an electronic display with the time and logo, with a bald Caucasian man in a dark shirt with his arms out in front palms down as if performing a magic trick, the man has an odd semi-smile on his face. Stuck the bottom left of the display board edge is a sticker of a cat playing the drums.Close up image of the bottom left of a Northern Rail Service display board showing a sticker of a tabby cat on hind legs playing drums. The drumsticks are in its front paws. As with most cats, this kitty's expression is decidedly unimpressed.
