A striking visualisation of #climatechange: the date of Kyoto cherry blossoms' reaching full bloom, plotted over the past 1000 years.

Thanks to the cultural significance of cherry blossoms in Japan, we have data on the specific day of the year when a very particular species of cherry blossom (P. jamasakura) reached "full-flowering" (満開) in a specific area on the outskirts of Kyoto (Arashiyama), all the way back to 800 AD.

The trend of the past 50 years is hard to miss…

Happy #ZeroWasteDay!

We need to substantially slow down our consumption of resources.

Let's learn to #repair, #reuse and #share as much as possible, and fight to put an end to the throw-away economy.

"We must massively invest in (...) policies that encourage people to re-use and recycle everything from plastic bottles to ageing electronics." said António Guterres.

#Repair is essential to unlock reuse & zero-waste, this is why we need a #RightToRepair.

Seeing all those complain about how late trains are posts

and wondering why there is not a similar amount about cars.

On Monday we rented a car because on google maps the 60min metro travel was only 30min by car.

In reality it took us over an hour because the in car navigation systems took us to the wrong street first.

Never have I had that problem in a train!

Today's ruling that the immigration exception is unlawful is a victory for migrants’ data rights in an increasingly hostile environment in the UK that treats migrants as second class citizens. It's another instance of this government trying to chip away at the human rights framework post-Brexit.

This action wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of people who donated to the legal fund and who support our work.

Noticed that pro-climate-action accounts were stagnating or shrinking, and that denier accounts seemed to be ballooning. So - I checked, with some help, and....yep.

Elon Musk has made Twitter into a safe space for pro-fossil fuel disinformation. A 🧵

I don't think it can be overstated just how HUGE an impact Paul O'Grady had on people like my parents.

As the press, police and politicians waged a war on the LGBTQ+ community and stoked AIDS fear, Lily Savage was on TV making them laugh, and showing them that these were real people. People they didn't need to fear. /4

If you are able to donate, maybe to give a little bit back to a woman who gave her everything, it would bring a lot of ease to me and mine.

@velobetty wait does the article kind of just...end? on the observation that some people who use cargo bikes look rich, and some people who use them look poor? is that his big takeaway? "wow bikes are expensive i guess"?

how did this get published

Adrian Chiles writes a sneering, bigoted, and disingenuous opinion piece about #CargoBikes, complete with loads of the tired old tropes we've heard over and over again from people who can't imagine how cycles are actually pleasant and not just some machine of misery ridden by the holier than thou.

Why do we even have this sort of "journalism"? 🤷‍♀️

Being a bleeding heart means compassionate, politically correct means compassionate, #woke means compassionate. You can make up all the insulting words you want to pressure people out of caring for others but compassionate is still the finest thing we can be as beings in this world.

I'm sorry, were any of you planning on telling me there used to be a species of penguin that was 6'7" (2m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (115kg) called Mega Penguin or was I supposed to just find that out on my own

@Uilebheist Mandatory Iain M Banks quote

By the way, Caesar's mum, Aurelia, did NOT die in childbirth, she was around in Caesar's adult life, giving him political advice and running his household, and there are no historical records to suggest she was a ghost or a zombie.

IDES OF MARCH REPOST

Julius Caesar was born by vaginal delivery, not a C-section. So why is the rumour he was born by a C-section so popular?
