Cars 🚗drive more 🛑slowly on 🌳tree-lined streets
We all know that trees are good for the environment, but a lesser known fact is that they help reduce the average speed people drive.
A🌳tree-lined street is therefore a safer street 🚸

This is a big problem - people's bizarre assumption that if someone knows how to make money (by fair means or foul), they know how to do everything else. But making money is a particular skill, often a very narrow one, that can actively shut down your ability to do other stuff.

Utterly shameful for Rishi Sunak to remove seat at cabinet table for COP26 President Alok Sharma - just weeks before one of the most important global climate summits in a generation at #COP27 in Egypt. If the new PM cares about climate, he's got a very strange way of showing it

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

In a number of European rivers, water levels have once again dropped far enough to surface centuries-old “hunger stones" (which are normally submerged). These boulders record past droughts and famines. One etched warning reads: “If you see me, weep.” 99pi.org/article/ghost-marki…

My liquorice is in flower. It's a nice plant, very easy to grow, but it is an enthusiastic spreader, so careful where you plant it.

Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR so that we never again have to endure an eighty seat Tory majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.
