@katharinehayhoe.comReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialThis week I handed my newsletter to the one and only @queenofpeat.bsky.social, ecologist Merritt Turetsky. Her big idea? Stop treating wet land as a problem to drain. Start seeing it as something to work with instead! Read on to learn more about becoming a bog champion.
@monkemma.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialSo they're at it again 🙄 Torturing valid HMRC data to create wildly misleading headlines, designed to invoke fear and anger about immigrants. Same old, same old... (and you'll see just how old shortly!) 🧵1/28

@fascinatorfun.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.social"But I think I find Zelenskyy to be more difficult to deal with than Putin" Why? Because one is real and fights a desperate war for his country and people, while the other is a self-enriching megalomaniac not caring about his people, but so like yourself?” Trump IS a fan of the murdering 🇷🇺 bastard
@13sarahmurphy.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialJenrick on #r4today trying to downplay the raging racism of Reform… by saying “Farage has done more than anyone else to stand up against racism and the far right”.
Farage the schoolboy Nazi.
Farage the ‘breaking point’ Brexiter. Farage the mass-deportations champion.
Farage the far right racist.

@davidheniguk.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialThe initial snarky comment is that the German car makers have finally come to the rescue. The more considered version is that the UK produces far fewer cars than it sells, unlike Japan or South Korea. So this is a way to try and replace Chinese with EU cars.

@stephenkb.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialLeaving X has, I'm pretty sure, hit my bookings and career. But it comes at the massive bonus of a) my own mental wellbeing and b) not providing free content for the owner of Starlink:

@ruthtingay.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialNatural England can't bring itself to say "persecution" or "illegal killing" is still constraining Hen Harrier population recovery. Instead it calls it, "conflicting land management priorities".
Nope, it's crime, committed by criminals, on grouse moors.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.socialReposted by @alan-matts.bsky.socialI'm on Question Time tonight, in Brecon. The other panellists are currently from Reform, the Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and Labour. Though, given the rate of resignations and defections in Wales, that might change by 9pm this evening.
