On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible".
Turns out that's wrong.
Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it.
Every tonne of CO2 matters.

Yeah, look… That’s my fear.

They used to say it’s socialism or barbarism.

These days, I’d say, it’s anarchism or obliteration…

IMHO, we need to experiment and grow it from the grassroots up, wherever we are - systems of collective trust and accountability and decision-making and mutual aid.

I’ve written about it in my book, Living Democracy. And will be writing more here: in-between-days.ghost.io/opener/

An utterly shameful list of murderous, ecocidal, omnicidal acts by a government that loves to claim it cares

The strategy of trying to get Labor and the bureaucracy to act is an abject failure. Government is a failed institution, most clearly when it comes to climate.

Time to build the next system

Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals

The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

I’m lucky that, in my family, though we’ve had disputes in the past, we now find ourselves inches apart, rather than chasms.

But I grieve deeply friendships lost. And a whole world lost. And the countless lives lost to a political ideology that claimed the mantle of religion and social identity.

Oh Sarah 😢

What a beautiful encapsulation of so much I feel.

“The danger was never difference; the danger was the oppression that demanded silence, that forbade questions, until even love could no longer be spoken.”

When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love | Sarah Schwartz

Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice

So yeah, I’m a bit obsessed with Ali Smith, sure, but this book is truly something else. It’s both devastating and uplifting. Also laugh-out-loud funny and mind-expandingly thoughtful. Think I’ll have to read this one again in a little while.

My fellow Jews: protect your heart and don’t read the replies to this post.

My fellow allies: read all of these replies, internalize the antisemitism problem on the left, and start gathering your thoughts about how you will fight this vile rhetoric.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 13d

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

A lovely story about Dr Jane Goodall's career & legacy, from Rachel Fieldhouse & Mohana Basu, in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41.... Includes some comments from me about how researchers _can also_ be advocates and science communicators, and still be taken seriously (I hope)!

It is nauseatingly unacceptable that Jewish people should be criticised (let alone being attacked) because they are Jewish. Equally, expecting Jewish people to endorse Israel's war crimes because they are Jewish, is a gift to antisemites of all types www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
