"Apr 27, 2025
This autumn, for the first time ever, the UK is expecting to run entirely on zero-emissions electricity for a few hours. That doesn’t just mean a sunny day with loads of solar and wind and some exports to the neighbours—that’s happened before. But even during those times, gas power was still online, helping keep the grid stable.
This time, the goal is no gas, no coal, no oil—and no electricity imports. Just clean, homegrown electricity. It’s a big milestone—and a taste of what a fully zero-emissions grid could look like.
40 years ago, coal made up three-quarters of the UK’s electricity. Even 15 years ago, it was still mostly fossil-fuelled, but with gas instead of coal.
So how did they get from that… to here? And what would it take to go from a few hours of clean electricity… to 24/7/365? And beyond electricity—what else needs to happen to get to a fully zero-emissions economy?
To help me understand how the UK pulled this off—and what’s next—I’ve brought in some local expertise: David Borlace, from ‪@JustHaveaThink‬."

This was passed at the BMA conference today, it calls the UK Supreme Court decision on biological sex “scientifically illiterate”.

Tiny #UK museum on anti - #trans ruling: “Speaking in a professional capacity as [a] museum of biology: this is not how biology works,” the Crab Museum’s statement read in part. “There are no binaries in nature, and biology, like all sciences, should never be taken for granted or assumed to be ‘self-explanatory.’ Even worse, it should never be used to justify weaponised culture war issues. This ruling is an abuse of #science.” 💯

🇬🇧 Security company Assist Security exposed over 100,000 sensitive files publicly.

If you're curious what kind of wild excuses I get from companies, this one tried to claim only the file structure was exposed. Apparently I look at filenames and paths and figure what's there from the names only and report this to companies :blobwizard:

My #Robin friend Little Mate giving his Christmas speech this morning. We hope everyone has a good day. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

Wishing everyone peaceful and happy holidays! Thank you so much for following along for what has been an incredible year (I'll reflect more on 2024 in another post). For now, here are 4 new winter images from Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. Enjoy :)

The incredible (and often overlooked) mountain landscape of the Isle of Harris, Scotland. This place is rugged and unvisited, partly because the beaches of the island steal away attention and partly because of its unforgiving character. Many of these areas are fairly unexplored in terms of photography and I'm excited to spend a bit more time doing just that over the coming years.

Bit late because of illness but I need to vent:

Watching the public’s reaction to #RachelReeves murderous budget has been infuriating. From polling, it seems that most people are ok with the budget.

The liberals on social media seem to think they’ve “played a blinder”. Fuck you all, you spineless twats.
