I always thought the difference between Twitter and Facebook is that Twitter is "look at this" and Facebook is "look at me".
I see dumb shit like this and I wanna cry.
Aviation is less than 2% of emissions.
Animal agriculture is about 14%.
But sure, sheep are cute so science schmience, eh?
I’m not an actor and I’m not famous, but I’m urging people to look at the number of planes in the sky at any one time on Flightradar24 and then a picture of sheep grazing on a hillside below, and to decide for themselves which is most likely to be causing climate change.

My 13 year old went round the neighbours today to see what they needed, then did a 45 minute round trip walk to Aldi to get their groceries. She went to about 90 doors.
A better use of her time than mocking poor people on Twitter.

Sure, manual labour... in a third world country.
Here in the developed world, where we value our own lives and expect to be treated with dignity in a trillion dollar industry, this is not how it's done.
Stop wanking over exploitation.

Thing is, she has literally no case. She can't show that the comment caused her any harm, because he withdrew them quickly and apologised. She also did far more to promote the claims than he did!

Their love was always conditional, which is probably why it never felt real to their children and why their children are rejecting them when they reach adulthood. It's not real love.

He's 100% right and the board should give him carte blanche to go through the squad like a dose of salts.
Levy should walk into the training ground on Monday, point at Conte and say "He's staying, and half of you aren't."

Key difference here is that he inherited it, whereas Mr Rashford earned all of his wealth through his own hard work and talent. Apparently, in this country, the former is more respectable than the latter.
Also, Mr Rashford pays tax in this country while the Viscount does not.

Commit so many war crimes that you can effect boredom at the accusations of war crimes.
It's a plan. Not one I'd like to defend at The Hague, mind you.
So this weekend I came across literally hundreds of people online who viscerally hate my son purely on account of who he is. They have no other problem with him, just who he is.
Because he's transgender.

Even where there's space, Europeans don't build stadiums in vast car parks. The new 70,000 capacity Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid v the 81,000 capacity Met Life Stadium just 5 miles from Manhattan.

No, in Europe people in rural areas always live longer than people in urban areas. This is because 1) a planned healthcare system makes a serious attempt to cover everyone and 2) there's always worse poverty in cities.

Cars *are* bad. They use space so incredibly inefficiently that you need to ruin your urban environments and make them impossible to access by any other form of transport.
Europe is more overcrowded than Los Angeles???
"Tiny lives" 🤣
You scratch the surface of the overpopulation argument and it's always "too many of *them*."
India's per capita GHG emissions is about 3tCO2e.
Scotland per capita GHG footprint is about 13.7tCO2e.
But aye, *they're* the problem.
Bill Gates' plan to save the world includes flying just as much as ever, including private jets (in which he's investing), and using biofuels.
Where is he finding the land to grow the crops for biofuels? What's that land used for now? How about growing food on it, or trees?

This is such a dumb way of thinking. We have a society. We can decide how fair we want it to be. We can't make cancer fair or genetics fair. But we can choose not to have some people in poverty while others have thousands of time more than they could ever need.

Are you saying the countries shouldn't defend themselves? The laws of war apply to attackers and defenders just the same.
It's an international crime to use force except in self defence or under approval by the UN Security Council. Russia's invasion is illegal.

I wonder if the national broadcaster of other major countries would mock their second-largest city for bidding for the Olympics.
FWIW, Birmingham had at least as much going for it as Atlanta, who hosted in 1996.
I was asked last night if I'm "hopeful" about climate change. I answered no. Why? One example:
3,500 houses being built at Winchburgh in dumb American-style suburbs, heated by gas, with a new motorway junction to pour car commuters into Edinburgh and no train station.
In 2022.

In the mid 90s I took a picture on top of a mountain in Scotland, paid a fortune to get it developed in 1 hour the following day, posted it to my then-girlfriend, now wife in France and she was amazed to get a picture in only 3 DAYS!

If Ukraine was already a member of NATO it wouldn't have Russian tanks on its borders, because Putin wouldn't dare touch it. He's making the case for NATO more effectively than any Western politician or General ever could.

One of the best things about social media is that young people can find out that their identity is ok, that their parents are wrong and that most people aren't like this.
Just read about how Ljubljana has pedestrianised its entire historic city centre and has a fleet of these little electric buggies that you can hail for free to get around.
A model for Edinburgh? Or would we ruin it like everything else?

Mike, on behalf of all of us, thanks for doing what you did. Now more that ever it's essential that all public services are completely transparent and seen to be so. All scrutiny that doesn't compromise the delivery of essential services should be positively welcomed.

Totally agree, it forces your opponent not to stand so far back on serve, so gives you a little advantage on every serve by bringing them in.

I get the feeling monarchy is bad for everyone. For the royals they have to be dull conformists or prisoners in a golden cage. For the rest of us it's costly, cements class supremacy and inferiority, breeds servility and turns us into nosy, judgemental bitches.
