I was very happy to be the subject of an edition of this lovely @BBCRadio4 series, Seven Ages of Man, talking about getting older, self-acceptance and masculinity.
Chuffed to be included alongside Colm Tóibín, Michael Palin, David Baddiel and others.

'Mink in captivity have previously been described as pandemic “time bombs”. The size and density of the farms give invading viruses a perfect environment in which to mutate'.
H5N1, mink, seasonal influenza, potential for reassortment, no action.
A biological risk nightmare.
“I can’t completely wrap my head around it. And you still have workers going into the mink farm, and it’s flu season, so this is when there’s a chance for new recombinants to occur” telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…
It really is time to criminally prosecute politicians who refuse to do anything about this.
Most of them are in the pockets of the Fossil Fuel industry.
How much longer will we wait?
Oh wow. This is true. The new bosses at @bbc consider climate change to be woke. They’ve removed the climate heading on the news site. They want to downgrade reporting on the issue.
The BBC is a disaster when it comes to understanding what’s happening to the planet.
Why is right wing ideology allowed to destroy the bbc @lisanandy

We are in an unbelievably dire situation with almost no one understanding how serious it is because of the $1 billion a year spent by the oil industry to confuse the public - and it’s worked.
Most journalists don’t understand.
Most politicians don’t understand.
They seem to listen to each other rather than to scientists.
But science is science, facts are facts. It doesn’t matter whether people believe it or not, it’s still really happening.

YES. THANKYOU.
@ZiaYusufUK @TiceRichard @RobertJenrick @Nigel_Farage are going to end up in prison for endangering us all.
And @KemiBadenoch too

I’m just watching Question Time and the lunatic @ZiaYusufUK got a big round of applause when he said we had to scrap the lunacy of Net zero. He continues to lie that it’s net zero policies that make our energy ao expensive, when in fact it’s because we’re tied to the wholesale price of gas.
Unfortunately, the public are part of the problem. They’re too stupid to protect their own children from a terrifying future.

So very sad to read that Sir Patrick Stewart has died. He was 86.
What a wonderful actor and lovely man.
Obviously most well know for his Shakespearean work and for his role in Star Trek, his performance in Jeffery back in the 90s is genuinely brilliant and hilarious and was a lovely act of allyship to gay people back then. One of the funniest on screen turns ever.
Bless his heart.
Condolences to his family and friends.

Trump is busy attacking renewables while China cashes in.
China’s exports of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles are expected to prevent 450 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions abroad in 2026, almost as much as Brazil emits in an entire year, according to Carbon Brief analysis.

BREAKING: Shell announces insane profits of £8.1BN in just the last 3 months.
Shell KNEW about climate breakdown for 60 YEARS and yet they HID the science.
That's why we brought a restaging of their 1960s offices right outside their global HQ.
It’s time we #ExposeShell !

November is days away & it’s going to be 75F today in Rochester. It’s supposed to be about 30 degrees cooler. Apparently the leaves won’t be changing this year.
The air is nasty too. A recent UN report found the U.S. is the only major economy where air pollution has “increased dramatically.”
Happy fall, everyone.

The label “corridor care” is hiding the true scale of the NHS hospital crisis, warns @DrAsifQasim.
We must be honest about the harm that is happening to patients
