legraLeGraSeveral folks have been sharing news of a private company trying a #geoengineering approach to ‘cancel out’ some global warming.
#SRM or solar resource management is humans trying to co-opt the way strato-volcanic eruptions impact the earth. #Volcano #climate
Here is my summary on WHY I think this is a bad idea. (Think my colleagues would agree; please add on.) 1/

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

Juggling With EggsFinal thought for the day…there is a women ordained as a priest who tonight must think her prayers have been answered in that she hasn’t been all over the evening news nor will she be on tomorrow’s front pages. A washed up PM took her spot.
And that is wrong.
The breathtaking incompetence, lies and faux naivety Paula Vennells exhibited at today’s #PostOffice public enquiry needs to be etched into our memories.
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayOn the publication of Article !('s latest annual report on freedom of expression, executive director Quinn McKew summarises the situation:
'At no point in the last 20 years have so many people been denied the benefits of open societies, like the ability to voice opinions, access a free media or participate in free and open elections' (quoted in The Guardian).
And you'll note that the UK ranks 33rd in their report on freedom of expression.
As expected Lord Walney's report ('welcomed' by James Cleverly) represents an agenda to stifle and criminalise democratic protest.
This is a real and present danger, not so much from the Tories who will likely have too little time to get much of this near any legislative change, but from Labour whose instincts seems to have been becoming less & les permissive of protest over the last few years.
Democracy is in danger of being further constrained

This is a great article, and I am 100% delighted by their description of me!! "Lawler has been an academic Chicken Little for years about the danger of freefalling space shit, especially in a time when space travel has been privatized and so many bored billionaires would rather spend their money playing Spaceman Spiff than, say, solving world hunger or the climate crisis"
