@RealBlackIrish 😢 …. Ageing can be such a sad process. Well done to you and family giving him some support. My Missus says that you are clearly a good egg. And I think that too.

Today was the funeral of our 93 year-old neighbour’s wife. She was 92 and they’d been married for seventy years. Their only son died two years ago and there are no grandchildren. We were the only people there. We walked in with him & he said weakly “there’s nobody here”.

Martin's ancestors have been watching for some time. They would like it noted, for the record, that they are not happy. 7:00am - Martin has a low-fat yoghurt. The fat has been removed and replaced with modified maize starch, pectin, and acesulfame potassium. His great-great-grandmother, who churned butter for a living in a farmhouse in Tipperary, makes a noise that has no translation in modern English. 7:30am - Martin has a bowl of bran flakes with skimmed milk. His ancestor from the Bronze Age, who ate organs, bone marrow, and rendered fat from large ruminants, sits down heavily and puts his face in his hands. 9:00am - Martin's mid-morning snack is a rice cake. It has 28 calories. His Viking ancestor, who was built like a wardrobe and ate herring, mutton tallow, and fermented dairy, stares at the rice cake with an expression of profound anthropological grief. 12:00pm - Lunch is a chicken salad with fat-free dressing. Martin has removed the skin from the chicken. He has removed the only part of the chicken that contains any meaningful fat-soluble nutrition. His grandmother, who grew up eating dripping on toast and died at 91 with no metabolic disease, watches in silence. 3:00pm - Martin has a 97-calorie cereal bar. His Palaeolithic ancestor does not know what a cereal bar is. He does not need to. He can see what it is doing to Martin's waistline compared to what it is doing to his mood. He files this information. 6:00pm - Dinner: lean mince (5% fat), brown pasta, and a tomato sauce from a jar. Martin has tracked all of this in My Fitness Pal. He is 14 calories under his goal. He is also, by any sensible hormonal reading, still hungry. 8:00pm - Martin has a low-fat ice cream. His ancestors, collectively, watch him eat a product that is technically both a food and an industrial experiment, and they decide, as a group, to stop watching for the evening. 9:30pm - Martin cannot sleep. He is thinking about food. He has been thinking about food since approximately 11am. His ancestors are not thinking about food. They are thinking about other things. Martin's ancestors were, on the whole, significantly leaner. This is the part Martin finds hardest to explain.

@RealBlackIrish @disclosetv Yes.

@disclosetv Disgusting

NOW - Dame Sarah Mullally is officially "enthroned" as the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, becoming the first woman to take the role in 1,400 years.

@RealBlackIrish Were you test driving suitable vehicles for your proposed ambulance service?

I’ve been in a Rolls Royce today

@MJRabble_Rouser 🙋🏻‍♂️

Who wants to ride in Bobby’s ambulance?

@RealBlackIrish 🤦🏻‍♂️

‘Baked in ovens’

@Mr_Truther1 @MeesWynants Getting there. 🤷‍♂️ euroweeklynews.com/2026/03/20/spa…

From July 2026, driving with one hand won’t be allowed in the EU…

In just 45 minutes, I expect

At least 1500 people died today in the UK. Same as yesterday. Same as tomorrow. Same as every day of every month of every year. Many of their deaths just as tragic as the two in Canterbury. Deaths in road accidents. Deaths due to suicide. Deaths of elderly people alone. Violent deaths. Yet you never mention them. But along comes a story where there's a narrative to push, a panic to encourage, vaccines to sell, and you're all over it.

She’s bought this new coffee thingy - I’m convinced that piloting the Space Shuttle must be easier than working out how this makes coffee?

@MarcherReborn @russellburgess Plug it in. If all else fails, read the instructions.

@russellburgess Same - AV Tech on Harriers, Hawks, Tornadoes - piss of piss. This machine - not a clue

Trillions of leaves are currently breathing more deeply across the planet. While the world stays glued to dead screens, filled with narratives of a collapsing planet, a much bigger story is unfolding right outside our windows. It’s not a story of a sinking abyss but a world coming to life. The data is in and the Earth is greening at a rate that defies the code red message. NASA satellite data shows that over the last few decades 25% to 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening. We are seeing existing biomes becoming more lush and productive from the Amazon to the Australian Outback. The secret ingredient is CO₂ - the primary building block of all life. As CO₂ levels rise, plants become more water-efficient. They don't have to open their pores as wide to breathe, meaning they retain more moisture in the process.

The Mid-Ocean Ridge is the ultimate unwatched tragedy of modern science. It's almost never mentioned in the climate debate. We obsess over a trace gas 0.042% of the atmosphere, yet ignore a 65,000 km volcanic spine that endlessly resurfaces the planet. How does that happen? This isn't just a geological feature, it’s Earth’s primary circulatory system. While the narrative focuses on tailpipes, this ridge is quietly venting heat, minerals, and carbon on a scale that makes human activity look like a footnote. New Evidence: * Woods Hole research shows hydrothermal vent temperatures are volatile, spiking by 40°C in short bursts. This isn't a steady hum, it’s a pulsating engine room injecting vital energy into deep currents (the AMOC) that can take decades to surface. * University of Sydney researchers argue we’ve significantly underestimated these ridges. When mid ocean ridge spreading speeds up, they don't just release CO2, they change ocean chemistry, dictating how much CO2 the water can hold. * Scientists only recently discovered the Kunlun Hydrothermal Field. This is a 'vent metropolis' 100 times larger than the fabled Lost City. If we didn't know an 11 square kilometre volcanic field existed until last year, how can we claim to have settled the math on global emissions? Does the climate narrative stop at the shoreline? While we argue over parts per million in the air, a 65,000 km natural wonder is busily creating the very crust we stand on. It’s the origin of life, the driver of oceanic heat, and a massive, unmeasured variable in the carbon mystery.

Germany currently has about 26 GWh of battery storage. Most of it sits in home batteries, with only 4.3 GWh actually serving the grid. Building that storage has already cost more than €10 billion. And at national demand levels, it only covers roughly 30 minutes of summer electricity usage. The winter months bring what's known as “Dunkelflaute” — cold, dark, windless periods (and higher energy usage). To survive a 10-day winter lull (the minimum realistic requirement), Germany would need about 12,000 GWh of batteries — 470 times today's storage. Such a system would weigh roughly 60 million tonnes, and would be made from vast quantities of lithium, nickel, graphite, copper, aluminum, and steel — all requiring intensive mining. At current battery prices, the system would cost trillions of euros. And batteries last only 10 to 15 years, meaning the entire system would need constant replacement. The conclusion is unavoidable: Wind and solar require reliable backup power. Renewables need oil, coal, gas, and nuclear.

Also the most backward. It assumes we must more closely align with the EU again because it remains a great economic success story when the reality is it’s a bloc in long-term, systemic and increasing decline. A mid-tech backwater which is nowhere in AI or any other major development of the digital economy (in which the UK is doing rather well). Labour’s strange, nostalgic, outdated obsession with Europe is reminiscent of the Old Tory Colonel Blimps and their longing to recreate the British Empire.

@MJRabble_Rouser @RealBlackIrish Excellent. 😄 Me and my old Scottish Terrier used to live near a supermarket distribution centre belonging to a German chain. Their branded lorries often passed by our house. Clyde would sit in the front room window and growl at the logo every time they drove by. 🙄

Meant to post this earlier! K staring at a dog weathervane. He just wouldn’t leave lol

@DefiantLs A regular in our house to this day. 🙂

Sorry, come again?

There were sixty million of them. That is not a round number invented for rhetorical effect. That is the estimate based on historical accounts, trading post records, early naturalist surveys, and the archaeological evidence of a grassland ecosystem that had been shaped, managed, and sustained by their presence for approximately ten thousand years. Sixty million bison, moving in herds so vast that 19th century travellers reported watching them pass for days without the column ending. The sound carried for miles. The ground vibrated. Early European explorers described riding to the top of a rise on the Great Plains and looking out at a sea of brown moving in all directions to the horizon, beyond which more was coming. These animals were not incidentally present on the Great Plains. They were the mechanism that made the Great Plains what they were. A bison herd moving across shortgrass prairie does something very specific. It grazes heavily, pulling the top of the grass. It aerates the compacted soil with hooves that break the surface crust and create small depressions, bison wallows, that collect rainwater and become micro-habitats for hundreds of species. It deposits dung that feeds a cascade of organisms from beetles to birds. It rolls in the disturbed soil, dispersing seeds in its coat across miles of subsequent travel. It moves on. This last part is crucial. The herd moves on. The grass it grazed comes back stronger. The roots, some of which extend twelve feet into the soil, deeper than the roots of any arable crop: draw carbon from the atmosphere and hold the topsoil together against drought and wind with a grip that the Great Plains had developed over millions of years of exactly this relationship. The Plains Indians who lived within this system understood it with the intimacy of people whose survival depended on it. They followed the herds. They took what they needed. They used every part of every animal: hide, bone, fat, organ, sinew, horn, dung, in a closed-loop material economy that generated essentially no waste. The calves born each year exceeded the animals taken by human hunters by a margin that kept the population stable at sixty million. This was a functioning ecological system that had been maintained in sustainable equilibrium for thousands of years. Then, in approximately thirty years, it was gone. The US Army did not accidentally allow this to happen. They planned it. General Philip Sheridan stated it openly: the hunters were doing more to "settle the vexed Indian question" than the entire military had managed in thirty years of direct combat. Every dead bison was a step toward starving the Plains nations into submission. Columbus Delano, Secretary of the Interior, articulated the logic without apology: "Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone." The hunters came. The railways came. Tourists shot bison from train windows. The carcasses were left to rot, stripped only of the hide and the tongue. Within thirty years, sixty million animals had been reduced to approximately three hundred. The Plains grasslands, stripped of the animal that had managed them for ten millennia, began to change. The deep-rooted perennial grasses that had anchored the soil slowly gave way to annual species less able to hold topsoil under drought conditions. Settlers ploughed what remained. Monoculture wheat replaced the native grassland complex. In the 1930s, the topsoil of the Great Plains blew away. The dust clouds reached Washington DC. The Army had solved the Indian question. It had also, by removing the ruminant that maintained the grassland, created the conditions for one of the worst agricultural collapses in American history. The sixty million bison were not causing the planet to overheat. The sixty million bison were the planet's solution to the problem we have since made considerably worse. They're doing their best to make the same mistake again with cattle.
