It’s hard to let go after 15 years, but this will be my last post on Twitter. You can find me elsewhere. I’ve been reluctant to completely cede the space, but it’s time. I’ll be back if it ever puts in measures that promote the safety and happiness of individuals and societies.

I just popped back to say: if you’re a scientist looking to talk to your professional network, everyone is going to Bluesky.

@BBCSpotlight Why does the headline neglect the fact that a car was involved? Why does the story not give information on what happened? I’m going to guess this poor man didn’t crash into the car.

You know those are just lines drawn through scatter plots, right?
More evidence to debunk the claim that amateur observers are the best judge of expert professionals. Student voice matters, and can help us pick up things we miss, but that doesn't mean it's always correct, or privileged, or incontestable.

@SimonWhiteley6 Would you mind sharing where you got the info to do your own heat loss calculations? I have info on the house overall (from bills), would be useful to do by room.

Good concept, but does it include passenger weight? I suspect that would narrow the gap a bit. Current figures feel unlikely.
For the 'cyclists should pay to use the road' types I'm happy to pay if it is proportionate to the damage I do It would take a road bike 3,044 years of doing the same journey every day to damage the road as much as 1 journey in an SUV H/T @CS3Count

Fun project: how much carbon did the outage save?
12-hour timelapse of American Airlines, Delta, and United plane traffic after what was likely the biggest IT outage in history forced a nationwide ground stop of the three airlines.
