@CRUK_Policy @CRUKChallengers I'm now officially a marathon runner after completing @Marathon_Mcr yesterday, raising ~£400 for @CR_UK in the process 😁 #CRUKChallengers
The new #BankingOnClimateChaos report reveals just how much big banks are pouring into fossil fuels, contributing to the climate crisis and locking us into fossil fuel dependency. Is your bank one of them? Learn more: bankingonclimatechaos.org #DefundClimateChaos

TIL: there's no such thing as a JPG (it's now obsolete), it's always been Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), it's just 16-bit Windows didn't allow for more than 3 letters in the file extension. Also, there's a JPEG website! 🤩 jpeg.org/about.html

Ok, JPG is basically obsolete* (I'm not unlocking X premium just to edit my post 😅) pcworld.com/article/2466439/…

.@RateMyTakeaway Danny, if you ever go back to 'that there London' (obvs park safely - I just got a parking fine recently too!), but maybe try out @laststopkebab so I don't have to, cheers 😅👍 just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-l…

It's pretty ridiculous that USA still hasn't had a female president; just because Thatcher, May, and Truss were bad ideas in the UK, it doesn't mean that you can't have a good female leader, it means the wrong women were chosen and that Conservatives (and Republicans) are evil 😉

🌍🔥 @mufgbk_official is funding Rio Grande LNG, a methane gas export terminal slated for Texas that threatens people & planet. Demand MUFG listen to impacted communities & back away from this project now. #NoNewLNG #DefundClimateChaos act.ran.org/page/74251/subsc…

Keir Starmer could walk back on election promises to protect bees -- and it can happen in days! Sign and RT this petition now to make sure bee-killing pesticides are banned in the UK! secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

This is the trouble with companies holding a monopoly, they feel that they can do whatever they want. It's important then that the everyman remains vigilant, sharing only credible sources, speaking truth to power, but also whistleblowing where necessary: thebureauinvestigates.com/st…

I realise I don't have any authority upon this subject, but it seems silly to say: "this OFFENSIVE + UPSETTING thing means something different to young Irish people nowadays, so they're going to keep on saying it more and more because they've 'owned it'"🤷♂️irishtimes.com/opinion/2022/…

What happens to NFTs (and I suppose any unorthodox assets) when people die? ... "Here you go son, this is a digital portrait of Mickey Mouse that I bought for £300k I'm sure you will put it to good use in the future" 😄

Whilst there is a lot wrong with the world, having access to unpolluted water surely should be one of the things we're prioritising globally - and yet, even in the UK, we can't seem to get it right! ... the time for change is now! theguardian.com/environment/…

Hia @DannyMalinUK, well done for being so humble and respectful in letting those two ladies jump in on your lunch, like you say "sharing is caring" (I enjoyed @MEATLiquor too back in 2017 - I'd also highly recommend @leedsfilmfest) 👍 youtu.be/XJf0zRgD4Fg?si=Ur9e…

The flaw in the girl's argument is that she is trying to use a public space for a private activity and expecting other members of the public to cater to her demands ... if she wanted to be undisturbed then she needs to carry out the activity in a private space.

TL;DR: we still need to plant trees but planting shouldn't be used as an excuse to carry on emitting gigatonnes of CO2 into the air. Plus, we'll capture more CO2 by sustaining extant forests and indigenous practices than planting new forests wired.com/story/stop-plantin…

So the BK lettuce is clean now, presumably 🤷🏻♂️ #EatHealthy
In 2012, a Burger King employee anonymously posted an image on 4-chan of him putting his feet in lettuce, with the caption:
"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King."
It took 20 minutes for people to track down the branch the employee worked at and contact the news.
The next morning, Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the Burger King establishment and talked to the breakfast shift manager, who, upon seeing the offending photo, said, "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired."

A double-blinded randomised controlled trial 😅
In Japan, there is a pop restaurant called “The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders.”
It was designed to raise public awareness of Dementia in a country where 1 in 5 older people will have it by 2025.
All employees, so you never know what kind of food or service you’re going to get.
