When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.

We’re launching the Earth Rover Program - trying to make geophysics actually usable for farmers. That means tackling the ridiculous price of equipment and opening up a global, easy-to-use dataset so anyone, anywhere around the globe, can understand what’s happening under their feet.
1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I've been waiting 15 fucking years for this. I watched the first trailer for this in high school, in class. It released out of nowhere today and...
It's a fucking blast. It is *incredible* and I would even say this should be a model horror game that future horror games take design inspiration from.
