Suw@suw.bsky.social · 3d agoCrops grown underneath solar panels produce more, require less water and are more resistant to extreme weather, even during a hot, dry summer. We need agrivoltaics to be rolled out asap, for both the electricity and the better growing conditions. microgridmedia.com/solar-panels...
Even with the air conditioning, we have a puddle of cats in this heat. Grabbity and Copurrnicus don’t always share space well.
Let the 4th of July grilling and smoking begin. Maple citrus smoked salmon. It’s a three-day process of brining and such, but it is oh so worth it.
Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

A week ago, I ran a personal best in my local half marathon. I have one last goal: To hit my £500 goal for raising money for Berkshire Women's Aid, which supports victims of domestic abuse. I'm only £59 away from my goal. Help me make it across this finish line. www.justgiving.com/page/kevin-a...

If you're a Welsh learner, and you'd like to up your game, give Ymestyn a spin.
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe best way to learn new vocab and memorise grammar is to use it in context. Ymestyn is designed to help intermediate Welsh learners with games, quizzes and themed practice sessions that are fun and interesting to do. ymestyn.cymru
@suw bear me to the post. A non-alcoholic happy hour for me one week out from the Reading half marathon.
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 5mo agoHappy hour.
Anthropic refuses to bend to Pentagon on AI safeguards as dispute nears today’s deadline - The Associated Press < Anthropic has outlined an ethical boundary for the use of its technology. Trump’s Pentagon wants the freedom to use it to surveil American citizens and launch autonomous attacks.
For the third year in a row, I'll run the Reading Half Marathon (and for the second year in a row, I've come down with a nasty bug a month out, sigh). But I'm also running to support Berkshire Women's Aid, a group which supports anyone suffering domestic violence. www.justgiving.com/page/kevin-a...

Most of the world (I think something like more than 70%) is a net importer of fossil fuels. This trend didn’t start with Ethiopia and it definitely won’t stop with them either.
Justin Mikulka@justinmikulka.bsky.social · 6mo ago“Our transition to EVs is aimed at ensuring our energy sovereignty,” said Ethiopia’s state minister for transport and logistics. “As a net importer of fuel, we are affected by global supply and price fluctuations. In contrast, EVs use electricity, which we produce locally and can price ourselves.”
A lovely meal to celebrate Valentine’s Day and our 18th wedding anniversary (tomorrow). @grabbity.bsky.social had to join in the celebrations with @suw.bsky.social
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 6mo agoHappy Anniversary @kevglobal.bsky.social! Hard to believe it will be 18 years of married life tomorrow. And happy Valentine's day to you and @grabbity.bsky.social, who is absolutely expressly not allowed on the table.

I need to repost a picture of one of our cats, Copurrnicus, rather than just posting the neighbour’s cat who has adopted me.
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 11mo agoSeriously.
The final line of this short 'I knew the shooter' clip really, really needs to be memed and sampled - "This 'internet' shit is seriously no joke" ought to be the defining line of, well, the past three decades really: www.tiktok.com/@1brxnn/vide...

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today
She gasped so loudly that I almost jumped. Her favourite beer at our local community pub - The Castle Tap. (They are launching a fund to buy it.)
Suw@suw.bsky.social · 11mo ago@kevglobal.bsky.social just put this down on the table in front of me and I was so excited that I started the people on the table next to us.
It’s been 20 years since we met. She says she was playing hot or not when one of the cute ones walked right towards her because he was interviewing her about her recently launched digital rights group.
It has been too long since we were in Sheboygan, a place we called home for four wonderful years. And so wonderful to be welcomed back by friends here.
Suw@suw.bsky.social · last yr.It’s so fabulous to be back in Sheboygan. I’ve really missed it. Lovely evening at the Leavitt Amp gig, then ice cream at the best parlour in the Midwest, South Pier Parlor
It is never any fun to have flight delays. But at least we can say we were caught up in the great London radar failure. Will miss a connection in the US and will see if we can get to Chicago tomorrow.

On a rainy Saturday in York on the wonderful local museum, I tried on an antler headdress found at a Mesolithic village - Star Carr. I think I look like an eccentric pilot. What do you think?

I hadn’t heard this frame of democratic vs disordered discourse, but it is useful. So much noise is being pumped into the system these days.
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · last yr.In this era, I think it's more useful to sort people by whether they participate in democratic discourse or disordered discourse, rather than left vs right.
As much as I hated doing this, I had to buy a test slot on the black market. I paid more than twice the official rate. Otherwise, there weren’t any test slots in the town I took my training. I can afford this but many can’t. It’s a scandal.
I've written a couple of times, including in a recent book, about about the Global Engagement Center, which worked to expose networks of Russian and Chinese disinformation around the world. As a result, along with many others, I am on what appears to be an enemies list
