Trying to get fit before 50 next year. Love reading #discworld, old #speccy games and listening to #tech #podcasts. The dog in the profile picture is my ex sister in law's - Max. He loves driving.
@mcc There were shoulder sitting dragons for a while, until the mess became too much for their owners. Luckily Lady Sybil’s dragon sanctuary can help. #discworld
Do you have Mastodon?

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“Like a grain of sand in a vast desert, the predator blends seamlessly into its environment, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye.”

Finally on the Ghosts bandwagon (UK version)

I have a disease where I can't stop telling bad Linux jokes.

My doctor says it's terminal.

I decided to reread the Discworld books in publication order (you know, like a series) and The Hogfather came up at the perfect time. Happy Hogswatch, everybody! 🐖🛷✨

The science is clear: to stabilize climate, we have to phase out fossil fuels.

Yet in the latest draft of the #COP28 Global Stocktake, that phrase has been removed. Instead, it calls for "abatement" of coal and "reducing both consumption and production of fossil fuels" -- and that's not enough.

For that reason, I've joined over 2000 CEOs, investors, NGOs, health professionals, scientists, youth, and faith leaders to sign this letter, which calls for:

1. An orderly phase out of all fossil fuels in a just & equitable way

2. A price on carbon and tripling investments for renewable energy

3. A halt and reversal of deforestation, land degradation & other ecosystem loss by 2030; safeguarding the territories of indigenous peoples; ensuring resilient food systems; and a strong global goal on adaptation

It’s time for world leaders to prove which side of history they are on--because #LaterIsTooLate.
