You don't know her, she goes to a different LLM.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The worst possible news

This means 2C will likely be breached in the late 2030s

So much for us being on track for a 2.8C rise by 2100

We really are a stupid species.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

I still can't distinguish in my head between Yard Act and Tuneyards.

I have no similar problem with the Yardbirds, though.

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

They also need to implement PR, the days of FPTP are so obviously gone. Do it while you have the chance.

'To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.'

Ever since the GE, this sums up everything Labour have done, though.

They appear to not be interested in the good of the people or the country, inexplicable indeed...

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility.

The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.

We also need to call out anti-bag policies as well. When places don't let me bring in bags, what are we supposed to do, just leave them on our bike full of stuff? Those of us on bikes don't have the luxury of a locked steel cage to store stuff like drivers do.

As Bike Cars Overflow, Caltrain Bans Large Bikes and Panniers - Streetsblog San Francisco New rules heavily restrict the types of bikes Caltrain users can bring on board. Years ago advocates warned Caltrain that they weren't allotting enough bike space on the new trains

This need to be called out at perpetuating sexist policies that privilege bikers without child carrying, errand running responsibilities. Caltrain would never consider banning kids from trains, why is it ok to make it impossible for parents who travel bike to use the system?

I wasn't particularly trying to write about existing in public space with a gendered body this time, but it sneaks in any way - the problem is you can't get away from it even if you want to. Wherever you go there you are.

Enjoyed it! At a gig now, can find tomorrow unless you have it to hand :-)

At a recent catered-for meal, the chef made _all_ the vegetarian moussaka with vegan cheese, rather than just one specially for me.

Nobody noticed. Dairybot would have blown a fuse :-)

Some would say it's my fault for having such a simple email address... Just so frustrating though. Has been going on for years, they must have worked it out by now, but... :-)

President Trump demands unconditional surrender in respect of something his government insists is not a war.

Community Renewables are going to play a huge part in the climate crisis, cost of living crisis, wealth redistribution, and making muppets like @dalevince.com so angry they continue to pretend Labour are environmentalists because they @greenparty.org.uk want more community solar which is bad for him

My main Gmail address was a very early one, simply being the name of the area I was living in at the time.

Alas, it not only has a football club but any number of americans of a similar name.

Can I remove most of the retailer/service/porn accounts they set up, without a password?

No, I cannot.

Made it down to the #MissionGallery for this - I did run out of time for the last audio piece, but they did tell me they're online too.

Good stuff: #Peiriant at #Elysium later, which I fully expect to be as good :-)

I thought it was obvious enough, but...

It was lighter than my Mac Portable (all bought s/h well after the fact, never silly new prices).

You'd be surprised how many people have taken it seriously. I just presented it as-is... :-)

I was running whichever earlier version ran on the 68000 PowerBook 100, under system 6 :-) v3.3?

But definitely Eudora. If other people want to call things by the wrong name, I really can't help them :-)

Thread - let’s stop pretending that there are no spaces left to build. There are loads.

Golf courses are monumental waste of resources while only benefiting a tiny fraction of the population.
