Migrant who employs migrants complains there are too many migrants where he doesn’t live. Why do we have to listen to these tired old racists?

My (very) short story "Family Recipe" about food--past, present, and future--is out today in Nature Futures.

Nature Futures@naturefutures.bsky.social

Food. It’s one of the great pleasures of life. And one of its necessities. Which means that, no matter where you look in time — the distant past, the far-flung future —one question will always resonate. What’s for dinner? #scifi by @patkanngiesser.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.

Himalayan Balsam has invaded a valley nearby. There was too much to pull plant by plant but with a scythe I could cut it low down, below the first node. Fingers crossed. #invasivespecies

I am on the 1356 departure from Sheffield to Plymouth. There are only five carriages instead of eight, and trains south before and after this one have been cancelled so all of their passengers are on this one too. All seats are occupied, all the aisles and spaces are packed. /1

… and don’t roster people without relying on goodwill and overtime, then this situation is due to bad management. Our train up to Sheffield was 2.5 hours late during to a ‘passenger incident’ and this one is unlikely to be on time anyway so at least we will be getting Delay Repay./3

At every station more people try to get on. I don’t think this is a safe way to travel. If the cancellations are due to circumstances beyond CrossCountry’s control that’s one thing, but of it it’s due to ‘train crew shortages’ because it is sunday, and the company don’t employ enough train crew /2
