Would now be a good time for @IKEA to stop selling tons of salmon? @rosalia @bjork theguardian.com/environment/20…

@jonburkeUK Mo’ slow

Slow work. Slow transport. Slow food. Slow manufacturing. Slow drink. Slow leisure. Slow art. Slow sport. Slow energy. Slow waste. Slow agriculture. Slow education. Slow clothes. Slow childhood. Slow shipping. Slow travel. Grow slow. Grow strong.

@CAMRA_Official Great work CAMRA. Apoplectic racist gammons, don't let the bar door hit you on the way out.

Following discussions with the branch & our volunteer leadership yesterday evening, the White Hart's entry in the Good Beer Guide has been deleted & will not be submitted for forthcoming guides while the pub continues to be operated in a way counter to CAMRA's values and policies

@jonburkeUK I normally agree with you Jon but assuming these trees could be moved, and it was economic to do so, the damage to their roots would be so extensive as to make them dependent on watering for many years to come. They'll be chopped and burned.

Land transport is the highest-emitting sector in the U.K. The bus route will eliminate far more greenhouse gas emissions than the 500 orchard trees - which can be relocated with tree spades or replaced elsewhere - could store in their lifetime. Wilful ignorance or just dim?

@scriobh @bobdylan Bob Dylan never tried to be a folk singer. He mainly sang blues numbers. Still does.

What's your knives out @BobDylan opinion?

I am not ashamed of Britain. I am not ashamed to be British. I am deeply, deeply ashamed of our government. RT if you agree. #Echobox=1679404367" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

“The British people back the Governments bill” @SuellaBraverman has told Parliament tonight. RT this if you think she’s wrong

Great to see so many people getting behind this already. It’s not about what we have to gain, but what we have to lose. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6336…

Our rivers are dying, and that means we are too. But a massive call could push governments to protect them at historic UN negotiations in days. Sign & share now #UNWaterConference fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/st…

@ecoevoenviro I lived with lynxes for five years in the Sierra Nevada. No one I knew had ever seen one. They’ll do their thing and you’ll likely never know.

can be done - and we absolutely should be reintroducing Lynx to England and Scotland and pos Wales. But we should not expect or promise fast results on deer control and we do need to invest in professional and recreational hunting/culls /1

@terrychristian The environmental and social cost of eating tomatoes in February, grown in the Plastic Sea of Almería, is enormous. You may have stumbled on the fabled 🦄 Brexit benefit

No tomatoes anywherev- fresh veg gone from shelves and spuralling prices - Thank the grifters who conned the Brexiters into voting themselves and rest of us poorer

@tedgioia Wonderful piece Ted. If I had the money to devote to aging musicians though I’d set up a free dental programme

Doctorow makes a convincing case that the logic of late, late capitalism is ‘enshittification’ on the magazine/site that gave the world its first example of it

Marine Protected Areas. Are they the best we can do? In the 30% of UK's MPAs, trawlers still ravage the seabed.❌ We're demading high protection status for 30% of the ocean and UK MPAs by 2030, and more enforced No Take Zones, where no harmful activities are allowed.

@tedgioia It does make you wonder whether Bowie Bonds and buying publishing rights etc has worked out well for investors?

The media landscape is changing so fast. Today someone asked to buy a % of my future earnings on Substack. He says he has millions to invest. Freelancers couldn't have imagined such a world just a few months ago. That's how much Substack has changed things. And, no, I'm not selling out.

@StonebridgeLock @DobbyWoods @EnvAgency @Feargal_Sharkey Fun fact I once applied for and got a license to trap crayfish on the Lea as there are no native ones anywhere near. I never used it though because of all the shit floating down from the sewage works.

@DobbyWoods @EnvAgency @Feargal_Sharkey Hey @DobbyWoods 🙌🏻 thanks for giving our Lovely #LondonLea some TLC. Would it be possible to drop a pin & share, you are welcome to DM, where you removed the crayfish trap. Thanks.

🐟 When did you last go fishing? 🎣 If you can’t remember, perhaps it’s time to dust off those rods and unwind near the water this weekend! ✅ Rekindle your passion and buy a fishing licence today. 📱 Digitally receive your licence here: gov.uk/fishing-licenc…
