Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.
~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.
Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Broken record here, but we cannot fix, save, improve, renew or whatever English universities if we only attend to taught students, DfE and OfS. Universities are major engines of research, innovation and civic good. Minimally DSIT must also be centrally in the frame.
They're not big schools.

yes it is awful when ICE breaks up families and it is just as awful when ICE kidnaps single people or those without traditional/heteronormative family structures. people have the same worth regardless of who is or isn't around them. no one deserves to be brutalized. framing matters.
Yes the PM was disrespectful. More disrespectful still is that Grassy Narrows--an Ontario First Nation where 90% of members suffer from mercury poisoning--has been dismissed for 50 years by governments refusing to take responsibility for the ongoing crisis. SHAME. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Not good enough to be considered for a place in The 100 or even county cricket though.
Worth underlining several of these boundaries by Fatima Sana have been hit off the same South African bowlers that Melie Kerr is rightly earning acclaim for taking apart.

I blew the whistle on this in 2016 and the CEO contacted my employer.
I see the techbros are now trying to persuade governments that our healthcare is unaffordable unless we give all our healthcare money to AI techbros instead of to our public health systems 🤷♀️
he did it!

And what, for example, are the postcolonial scholars there meant to do now

Almost everyone in the room is male.
A room full of men bidding on women.
If you can't see a problem here, you are the problem.
Two days on, not a single franchise, not a single county has spoken out about the ECB accepting cricketing apartheid in The Hundred. The England and Wales white ball captain scandalously called it “a shame.” Time for all of cricket to say NO to this shite. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...
The overall fundraiser is over $150k, and y'all have contributed more than $1000 for me to match (+follows/reposts)!

We did manage to get outside during a gap in rain, and I felt 1000x better!
Yesterday was such a tonic. Today makes me want to cry.
I like how every two years at a T20 World Cup everyone goes “wow the associate cricket teams are much better than we thought, we should do more to assist their development and grow the global game” and then nothing changes

So I’m still unsure—why wasn’t Ash Gardner selected as captain?
Also “safe tutoring” like when ChatGPT helps a teenager write a suicide note? FFS 🤦🏻♀️
Sure, because people who don't go to university definitely don't get any benefit from teachers, nurses, doctors, artists, solicitors, engineers, scientists, etc etc.
What happened to social solidarity and mutual benefit?
