Most of the prominent people who are trying to save Ukraine from Putin's dictatorship are still doing so on Twitter. Most of the prominent people trying to save the USA from Trump's dictatorship are still doing so on Twitter.

Not really much different from engaging with the Express, the Mail, the Sun, GB News, etc. Or Fox News in the USA.

New IMechE report examines the different technology options for decarbonising aerospace. The short answer? It's likely there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Presented as a 'green paper', we invite feedback and will be running workshops on the topic over the coming year.

In terms of lowering NHS dental costs down the line, this is probably one of the highest payoff policy interventions I can think of.

You described 9:30am as a "lie in" the other day. You are one of them.

The candles almost make me feel nostalgic. Power cuts were a regular occurence in Co Down growing up. But my parents' and brothers' houses are badly damaged with storm (more than ever previously). Hope yours is okay.

Maybe this place will go the same way eventually, but hopefully their business model will ensure that it doesn't.

Facebook became popular as a place for young liberal college students. Twitter became popular as a place for journos and geeks. Both became awful by trying to monetize their users' data through the tailoring of content (removing the ability to curate our own feeds).
