I'm deleting this account today. This was so great back in the day, but the awful new owner has made it into a big toxic shit show and I don't want to support it and him by my presence. Follow me on @tommyhigham.bsky.social instead. Much nicer over there.

Climate scientist Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman) talks about leaving Los Angeles two years ago due to the risk of climate-fueled wildfires. He says the devastation unfolding in Southern California now is even worse than he feared and warns, "This is still just the beginning."

Winding down here as this platform becomes increasingly toxic. Ditto for @HeasVienna Going over to @bluesky it's very nice and there are lots of archaeologists, scientists and other folks. It's easy to find other people. See you there! @heasvienna.bsky.social.

Kamala Harris’ full appearance on Saturday Night Live was hands down the best candidate appearance SNL has ever seen. Absolutely nailed it. This is the moment—our next president. Let’s finish this strong and bring it home.

The media is barely covering it but today in Valencia 95 human lives were snuffed out, extinguished brutally by profit-driven, planet-heating pollution and the catastrophic flooding that comes with it. Here is what we know so far. 🧵(1/8)

Very sad to hear of Larry Siedentop’s death. He was a great friend at Keble in Oxford, so interested in human evolution and the latest discoveries and keen to talk about anything and everything. thecritic.co.uk/farewell-to-la…

tommyhigham's tweet card. I first met Sir Larry Siedentop in June 2015, one year before Brexit and 800 after the signing of Magna Carta.
