Brass Birmingham is a complex, but really enjoyable game. The holiday is flying! Thanks for the recommendation Emma! @toxobrains.bsky.social
Scottish Water has a sewage overflow map. Lots of recent 💩 spills after that NYD storm. But with all the sunshine today, Joppa is still going strong - almost 37h. 🫣 In a couple of weeks, we will start a small project in the lab on Urban Water & AMR. 🙌🏽
Happy 2025 🎉🎊 Each day I'll try to post on Blue sky. No promises. The sea was just a bit too crazy to dip in today, so it's another day in the house.
I hear this is the new Bird App for science chat, etc. 🤔 Hello blue sky. 🙌🏽
