There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

[at a restaurant] Me: Ah, yes. I’d like some Stilton on oatcake biscuits, with some fig jam on the side, and a nice glass of Port. Them: Ma’am, this is a McDonald’s. Me: Oh, silly me! Yes, go ahead and super size it.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

I respect and admire the male sex; so this is the only piece of sexism I will ever express: Do not lend your gardening tools to men. They will break them. My veteran lopper was broken today by a strong man twisting it; and he nearly wrecked my pruning saw too.

The president banned reporters for asking questions. He can’t defend his record. And if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

You will never sell me a food by describing it as "fluffy". I don't eat fluff. I appreciate many things about food; but if quality, flavour and character are missing, fluffiness will not do the trick. #foodie #fluff

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city. But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row. My piece for The Times.

thetimes.comWe must fight back against troll army’s lies about LondonThere is a dark blizzard of disinformation online, where our capital is described as a lawless dystopia in decline — this couldn’t be further from the truth

Hurray for socialism. Or to quote the Bible..."Give them a share in what their hands have worked for"

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

They want to rape 35,000 acres of some of Ireland's richest remaining ecosystems, utterly *jam packed* with biodiversity, spawning grounds for fish, massive carbon stores, vital coastal storm protection. The whole country must rise up against this criminal plan. www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

I am so sick and tired of corporate media obsessing about made-up bullshit while people can’t afford to eat.
