    Just Stop Oil protesters jailed after M25 blocked

  • Meanwhile...

  • Elon Musk shares fake news about England rioters being sent to Falklands

  • The thing is, they're now just using platforms owned by Meta and Microsoft, both arguably awful corporations in their own way. Choosing Zuckerberg over Musk is out of the frying pan and into the fire in my opinion. They really should go to Mastodon, I guess?

  • Why do Olympic medalists bite their medals?

    Jump

  • At this stage it's a trope that people imitate, perhaps without really thinking about it. Originally it was almost certainly an ironic joke about the value of the medals, playing on the old-fashioned bite tests that would be used for for items of dubious worth

  • Who competes for "Team GB" at the Olympics?

    Jump

  • No, Northern Ireland is part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". So it's in the UK but not GB, which I think is what spurred OP's question

  • Pixel Buds Pro 2 leaks reveals new design, same case

  • If they're like the originals, let's hope nobody ever needs to control them with the slightest bit of moisture on their hands.

  • "Shits are frequently classified into three basic types..." and then gives 5 paragraphs of bland guff

  • Miliband overrules officials with immediate North Sea oil ban

    Jump

  • It suits oil companies to pretend allowing them to drill is apolitical. In reality very few things are apolitical, and oil extraction certainly isn't

  • Makes total sense: who's working for whom? Is wheat making an effort to till the soil and find fertiliser to help us grow, or is it the other way round?

  • UK haulage industry calls for investment in electric truck infrastructure

    Jump

  • How surprising - an artificially subsidised industry wants more subsidy

  • Are Tetra Paks actually recycled?

    Jump

  • "can be" is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

  • push it real good

    Jump

  • It would make a lot more sense if humans could just lay some sort of egg sac which we could keep in the garage for 9 months until it hatches. I honestly don't know why biologists and geneticists haven't dealt with this by now

  • Current mood

  • Xi is pushing climate, study shows

    Jump

  • These things only become meaningful when you look at emissions per capita AND remember that China manufactures large amounts of the world's stuff. All your iPhone emissions count as China's because it was manufactured there, but they really belong to your country. Same for loads of other stuff. Careful you don't fall for the tenor of this article, because it's probably intended to distract you ("Why should I bother when China is really bad?") and keep you consuming

  • Battery electric vehicles lose their spark in Europe as hybrids steal the show

    Jump

  • Important to know that real-world testing shows that PHEVs are rarely plugged in and just burn oil much of the time

  • ‘My state pension was £880 – and my rent was £1,000’: how a 70-year-old man became homeless in Britain

    Jump

  • Here's a really good analysis of how it's not true the Boomers have all the money - there are lots of very comfortable Millennials too. It's more complicated than people like to think

  • It also feels like a way to funnel bribes to politicians in plain sight, by paying them massive sums to rant at a camera with barely anyone watching

  • Since last election, 92 percent of Reform UK’s donations have come from oil and gas investors, high polluters, and climate science deniers

    Jump

  • The main alternative would be state funding, proportional to vote share. The big question would be how one establishes a new party

  • Record number of candidates standing at general election

  • Ah, thanks. I knew it was something like that. I bow to your superior knowledge on 80s sci fi comedies
