Today, Green MP Hannah Spencer is to introduce a bill in parliament that would pave the way for a maximum workplace temperature in England.
Sorely needed. Go Hannah!

I can see that I am expected to unite with the precious Platner zealots and comfort them.
I can often see that I am expected to do stuff I am not going to do.
Scusate, sarà la mia solita provocazione ma chi a distanza di un quarto di secolo si indigna ancora, giustamente , per la Diaz e Bolzaneto ma poi sfila da un anno in corteo bello felice sotto la bandiera della Repubblica islamica dell' Iran dove ogni giorno ci sono 10 Diaz&Bolzaneti o anche peggio ai miei occhi ha la credibilità dell'ippopotamo Pampers che parla di biologia.

He still hasn't commited to ending new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
The incoming Prime Minister can't say the climate crisis is an emergency whilst backing policies that make it worse.

The recent heatwave in England and Wales, exacerbated by climate change, killed ~2,700 people, with 440 deaths per day at its peak. If we don’t quickly reduce CO₂ emissions and protect people from extreme heat, it will get worse.

@rupdecat @chartgerink oh wow, I did not even think that would be a thing! How does that work? Bots trying to make accounts to create another layer of fake authenticity for other platforms?
@mario_angst_sci @rupdecat on mastodon servers, it's generated signup texts. for ResearchEquals, it takes a bit more to describe than just in a toot, so if this is of interest to folk I might write about it sometime.
Tonights haul 15 ships, 7 tankers, 5 dry cargo ships, 1 ferry, and 2 tugboats. Are we running short of new tankers to hit?
In total, between July 6 and 13, 105+ vessels were hit.
@volberg.bsky.social @anderspucknielsen.dk I wonder how they still choose to sail out, and get shippers to sail them. I guess no one wants to insure these vessels, right? Are they government-owned?
so glad i set up the approval process for new accounts on ResearchEquals - already caught several potential issues.
i am learning a lot about AI generated content, and they're getting very intricate. paper mills are passé, they're now coming to the various repositories etc to lay breadcrumbs of seeming authenticity.
any repository/platform that does not do approval, is increasingly being weaponized for this. i am looking at several places that do not have active moderation...
@chartgerink Oh you made me think about Zenodo!
@s0 I’m pretty sure the lab it came out of had a few of those hanging around too, but I didn’t grab any of them

@rania40 @casey Thanking @staff for reinstating Aya’s account.
She had replied to a number of unrelated posts from people and organisations that she thought were friendly to the Palestinian cause but clearly some weren’t and reported her (instead of, say, muting or even blocking her personally). She has apologised for doing so.
That said, people in Gaza are suffering through genocide and we’re trying to silence them for breaching etiquette.
For the love of whatever you hold dear,
if a Palestinian facing genocide annoys you, mute or block them or, even better, tell them why and try to help them navigate this space instead of reporting them and getting their accounts limited or suspended.
For so many Palestinians this is their last lifeline for support from the outside world. Think twice before cutting it off for them.
Protest wirkt. Aber wer verhandelt sowas auf Regierungsebene für die SPD und warum klang Lars Klingbeil letzte Woche noch sehr überzeugt von der Einigung?
@markus_netzpolitik Klingt für mich eher wie "scheiße wir sind aufgeflogen lasst uns schnell versuchen ne ausrede zu finden". <.<
