Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...
@warmovietheatre.com @roberthutton.co.uk You must see and do De Gaulle. I saw it last night- it was excellent!
@greenmirandahere.bsky.social Hi Miranda, regarding your podcast discussions on climate and energy, you might be interested in these figures on new generation. Those chasing nuclear as a solution need to reflect on its likely part in the mix.
To be clear, 5 nuclear plants opened 2025 & 2026, with 5.2GW total capacity As construction began 2017-2019, they are not as a result of the announced x3 target But - since Dec 2023, world has installed: ☀️ Solar Power: ~1,230 GW 💨 Wind Power: ~280 GW 🔋 Battery Storage: ~185 GW ☢️ Nuclear: ~5 GW

@greenmirandahere.bsky.social Trevor Philips was an odd choice for the left voice- he’s a populist anti-elite spokesman. Iain Martin also bangs on tediously about the undefined “elite”.

As it happens, Chris Bryant's book "Glamour Boys" is about the gay politicians who saw early the danger of Hitler and in at last one case died fighting him. Ronald Cartland's defence of Cassel in 1940 was pretty damn macho.
I've ready some pretty odd Telegraph opinion pieces in my time, but this might be the oddest. I wonder just what it is about Wes Streeting and Chris Bryant that makes the author believe they're somehow just not macho enough for government.
@greenmirandahere.bsky.social your special guest @johnmct.bsky.social was brilliant on the podcast! So much better to have a robust yet intelligent debate. Keep him!

@warmovietheatre.com ahem
On a par with Lumet's FAIL SAFE, ON THE BEACH is one of the most terrifyingly haunting films of the nuclear age... #FilmSky
@warmovietheatre.com @roberthutton.co.uk Definitely one for the list- perhaps as part of a short season of home front movies?
First watch: The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). The William Wyler-athon recommences with another major blindspot, an epic (but intimate) drama about three US servicemen struggling to reintegrate upon their return home. 1/4

@steverichards.bsky.social You should read this Steve. It’s a well-researched corrective to the “we are doomed unless we drill” narrative of your colleagues on the NAO pod.
This is actually reasonably good/balanced from Ambrose E-P about Britain's energy situation. The UK already uses much less gas as a proportion of total energy consumption and may reach energy independence in the next five years. archive.ph/Lxt0q
@roberthutton.co.uk @warmovietheatre.com There’s a Great War film on Netflix currently, Mosel. American director, Arabic actors and language. Non stop action. Much more authentic local experience than “Warfare”.
@steverichards.bsky.social Starmer not reading stuff put in front of him - again!
Sort of fascinating to wonder: what *would* it take for Keir Starmer to actually take a proper interest in what goes out under his name and in meaningfully engaging with Labour MPs?
