  Me and Avery just got to the end of Silo season 3, and it obviously left us with a lot of pressing unanswered questions, but for me the most pressing question is, how did they manage to populate every single heterosexual relationship entirely with gays

  RE: https://toot.wales/@alexisbushnell/117211807220016337 This now has almost 10,000 signatures from Wales, almost 0.3% of the population - a big deal! The more the merrier, anyone anywhere can sign. If you want to support trans people in Wales to be able to have transition surgeries, please give us a boost. #petition #Wales #Cymru #trans #TransRights #transgender

  In the UK, for electricity generation, power from burning natural gas is about the same level as power from nuclear was in 2015. I feel like it would be cool if we could simply replace gas with nuclear, though I know nothing about the logistics and whether it's even possible! Does anyone know why our use of nuclear power has been gradually declining for 10 years?

  UK petition: Ban the sale of domestic gas hobs and ovens We support a ban on the sale of domestic gas hobs and ovens to help the environment and public health. Ohio’s publicly owned MetroHealth study in July 2026 found that replacing gas hobs and ovens with electric ones improved asthma symptoms in a way that was as good as some asthma medications. This proposed ban would not include industrial gas hobs and ovens, nor emergency equipment. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/778184 Closi...

  It's 21ºC in here, which seems like it should be warm enough, but it's also 78% humidity, which means I'm basically in a cold bath. I feel sweaty AND too cold. Gross. #TemperateRainforest #Cymru

  Can someone invent a fridge that you install next to an exterior wall, and it has a switch on the side that lets you choose whether to release the heat produced into the room or vent it outdoors.

  'In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who don’t. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but it’s striking to observe that those doing the most fierce calling out or correcting are sighted people. Such efforts are largely self-defeating. I cannot count the times I’ve stopped reading a video transcript because it started with a dense word picture. Even if a description is short and well done, I often...
