Liberty just won back our right to protest in the UK

Labour loses legal challenge it took up on behalf of the last Tories in government - so much for the 'real change' they promised

Little #MastodonTip : if you ask a question in a post and eventually get a good answer, you can edit your post with the answer added!

That way people who have boosted it will know the answer as well (it should notify them) and people who see it know that there is no need to answer.

UK rooftop solar installations surge, new battery storage record set

Latest MCS data for small-scale renewables reveal a strong month for solar installations up to 50 kW, double-digit growth for battery energy storage installations and a milestone reached despite a muted month for heat pump installations.

Did you know that 0 on the pain scale is supposed to mean, “no pain at all?” And that that is the normal amount of pain to be in?

It’s surprisingly common to underrate the severity of pain we experience! Take a look at the Mankoski Pain Scale, and especially look at the relative effectiveness of pain medication for different levels.

I bring a copy to appointments, and more than one practitioner has made copies to use with patients.

Is there anyone out there who does #commissions in the style of medieval illuminated manuscripts? I’m looking for hand-painted art on paper, not digital art.

Boosts welcome.

Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe

Moneypoint in County Clare, Ireland, joins the ranks of other European nations exiting coal by shutting off power generation at its sole remaining coal plant. Industry observers say Ireland’s increased renewable energy generation in recent years, particularly in wind, has contributed to this milestone. Moneypoint now functions as a backup oil burner under emergency instruction, but it is no longer active in the wholesale electricity market.

i went to a medical appointment the other day

the doctor asked if he could use AI during the appointment

i said 'no'

he said i was the only one who had refused

pro tip: if what you say to AI is shared with an insurance company, if what you said is not what you said because AI made stuff up, if what you said is revealed in a breach

guess what, your insurance company will use that against you forever and ever

just say no to AI
