Currently reading the collection «Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning» edited by Donata Schoeller, Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir, and Greg Walkerden and it is really very good! Not only does the concept of «embodied critical thinking» resonate with everything I’ve been working towards in my own research, but it also offers a really simple and common-sense antidote to AI in higher education, based on the notion of bringing our own embodied experiences and felt sense to critical t…

Cold and windy, but my gluttony over the holidays has insulated me well. I would trade some of it for fitness, which I suppose is what’s happening, albeit much slower and more arduously than I might like.
Ran 4/1 minute run/walk intervals for what turned out to be 6.5 km. Pace was 8:03/km.
#Running

An activity tracking screenshot displaying details of an outdoor run. It shows "Outdoor Run" as the activity type, with active calories burned listed as 531 CAL and a total distance of 6.50 KM, accompanied by a map route.
A red brick church building featuring a prominent sign that reads "JESUS SAVES." It sits on the hill across the Roanoke River from Vic Thomas Park, at the top of my run.
A sign indicating directions to the Roanoke River Greenway, featuring the Roanoke Parks and Recreation logo. The background includes tall grasses and utility poles, with a faint view of buildings and a park area. The sky is overcast.
A train with colorful shipping containers is visible on the opposite bank of the Roanoke River. It’s a dreary and overcast day, with the river reflecting the trees and train.

Why the UK should look beyond growth to a ‘new economics’ that works for all
Jasper Kenter, Professorial Research Fellow, Deliberative Ecological Economics, Aberystwyth University The UK budget is usually a story of growth forecasts, borrowing levels and fiscal discipline. But ahead of this month’s high-stakes event, growth has been slower than expected. At the same time, as households struggle with living costs, the climate crisis intensifies and inequality persists, […]

The schizophrenia of these people is mind-blowing:
"Europe faces growing tensions with the US – its chief supplier of liquefied natural gas – over Donald Trump’s desire to take over Greenland. At a summit in Davos on Tuesday, the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, criticised Europe’s adoption of solar and wind, arguing that its lack of domestic battery factories risked making it “subservient” to China.
“If you are going to be dependent on someone, it had better be your be…

How the 15-Minute Sustainable City Model Cuts Carbon by 98% While Growing Local Food | Happy Eco News
A 15-minute sustainable city framework by Concordia University researchers shows neighborhoods can become self-sufficient in vegetables while cutting emissions by 98 percent. The model combines rooftop gardens, solar-powered electric delivery, and local markets. Testing in Ontario proved the system pays for itself in 2.8 years while strengthening community bonds and building food security.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

It is cold in northern parts of the world. Studded tyres are awesome. If you do not have them, forgot to mount them or cannot afford to invest for your usage, I am here for you.
The number of times I have been caught out and unicycled on snow and ice is quite high. If I can do it, you can do it. Just take it easy! Oh and wear a helmet, even if you do not normally. That kind of a fall is exactly what they are for.

Cycling on regular/unstudded tyres Riding on ice with normal tyres is entirely possible in much the same way that walking on ice is, so long as you are careful. The key is to avoid sudden movements, such as changes in direction and speed. With that in mind, here is a quick summary of some tips. Cycle slower: This gives you more time to observe problems and means less harsh braking. Keep it consistent: Try and keep your speed as consistent as possible. When you do need to stop, slow down very…
Looking down at a unicycle from the rider's perspective. There is a very light dusting of snow on the ground.

This system captures solar energy and, rather than converting it into electricity, uses it to produce hydrogen fuel on demand—even in darkness.
The new system provided twofold benefits: it made solar energy available even when the sun isn't shining, and it eliminated the need to transport hydrogen in dangerous, high-pressure tanks.
