@bondngo I know there is plenty of good expertise on this to expand and or challenge it ;-) …and we‘ll see if the Twitter trolls 🧌 get involved 🤣

"Without visible campaigning, politicians have ‘plausible deniability’ to ignore the public will." Duane Raymond, Founder of @fairsay, on why we need effective local organising in the UK and beyond to shape what comes next for international development. buff.ly/dq1QoSc

The Wildlife Trusts have enlisted the expertise of David Oakes - actor and ecologist, Inka Cresswell - a marine biologist and ocean wildlife filmmaker, and Louis VI - a musician, zoologist and nature activist, to help ‘supercharge’ the restoration of wildlife and wild spaces. 💚 Their appointments come at a pivotal moment for nature’s recovery, with less than 4 years remaining for the UK to meet its international commitment to protect 30% nature on land and at sea by 2030. @WildlifeTrusts Read more here: wildlifetrusts.org/news/famous-fa…

@ChrisTu33799970 If you were talking to AFD contacts, “nein two” isn’t the same thing, and “hail” isn’t for a cab.

In a MSM poll 92% believe Sir Jim Radcliffe was correct in what he said PM you are out of touch with the British public

@WalesOnline @DelythJewellAM @Plaid_Cymru Congrats Delyth!! We haven’t talked in ages but then your photo and name popped up and I saw this! Well done!!

"It may have taken fourteen attempts, but being elected as the @Plaid_Cymru representative for Caerffili is the honour of my life... I will be unstinting in my determination to repay their trust" Lindsay Whittle lays out his promise to his people walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/…

@gigi_still_here @YoBenCohen @MagnumGlobal Ben & Jerry were forced to sell to Unilever due to a hostile takeover attempt from a French company. They turned to Unilever as a “white knight” bidder with conditions for keeping their values in place and finding their foundation. Fiduciary responsibility laws forced the sale.

Your decision was made the moment you sold the company and gained the advantage of having UL back during the decades. So, it's like your son or daughter getting married—your influence becomes limited, whether you like it or not. I do believe you can create something special again!

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

@aymanalabdul @boringmarketer I guess, will never be scalable 🙄

Why does the world feel like it’s coming apart at the seams — even when we’re more informed than ever? Because information alone doesn’t shape public life anymore. Emotion does. And that’s exactly what this 2013 paper saw coming. academia.edu/5292260/

@herdyshepherd1 Excellent points connecting farm profitability through to general living wage/erosion! Copying Canada’s supply management system for dairy (+ trade quotas) would boost farm profitability & reliability (+ supermarkets pay the real price) + min living wage for all as mentioned.

The latest goverment guff about farming is… “The problem with farming is the lack of profitability” This is a short thread on why this sensible-sounding focus should be treated with great suspicion… A 🧵

After Disinformation: A Recovery Roadmap Fact-checking isn’t enough. Not after trust collapses. Not after meaning breaks. What disinformation really wounds is the psyche — and healing it takes more than corrections.

Everything you’ve been told about net zero is a lie.🚨 6 years ago, Cambridge Uni released the Absolute Zero report - a bombshell that shattered the illusions of "net zero." It got no mainstream media coverage. Here’s what it says humanity needs to do to give itself a future.🧵

@newint The @bylinetimes seems to be a good “independent” media for this: citizen-led vs corporate/government and yet also real journalism standards and not conspiracy-driven.

We need a healthy media ecosystem to tackle polarization and disinformation – that’s why we’re dedicated to platforming the stories that the mainstream sidesteps. Which independent global outlets are working towards building a better media? Tag them below!

@dieworkwear I’ve been running one since the early 2000s & it is still going great. But it is gated membership, human moderated, uses real names, renewed with annual in-person gatherings and uses mailman email discussion lists so posts are pushed to the email inbox. Self-promos are prevented.

we're you part of hobbyist forums from 2005 to 2015? did you see those forums decline? if so, i would like to hear the story of how those forums changed—what caused the decline, where did users migrate, and are those hobbyist convos still happening or did they disappear?

Clearest description I have heard of what is wrong with the current economic system and what needs changing!

@The_TUC .@antoniabance I’m so glad you are an MP now. That was the best question of that clip as it was specific and knowable and @AmazonUK seem either incompetent or evasive in their answer. They should know that without even referring to notes and to see they don’t is astonishing.

WATCH: Amazon bosses squirm and repeatedly FAIL to answer the question: If Amazon is such a great employer, why have your workers gone on strike so much?
