Lula's win in Brazil will avert a free-for all on Amazon deforestation that Bolsonaro planned One of the largest & most diverse ecosystems on earth is already under strain from deforestation & climate change. Bolsonaro may have set it inexorably towards collapse We should all be grateful. For now.

Such phenomenal news - few elections matter to all life on Earth than those in Brazil! 🇧🇷 www.irishtimes.com/world/americ...

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Burnham’s Labour Party now openly displaying their sponsor’s Logo. FFS!

Also a product Scotland is proud of...

Inviting me to give a talk to a male-only club which charges its hundreds of members $100-250/month, and then saying you have no budget to pay me and instead I should be grateful for access to this community of "well-known entrepreneurs and leaders" is more than grift bullshit, it's insulting

During WW2, Laura Knight served as an official war artist, and in 1946, she spent three months observing the Nuremberg war crimes trials of those awaiting their fate and those guarding them. She wrote how she wanted to give the proceedings 'space and mystery.'

At last, good news! Now the developers must commit to never come back again to try and damage this precious place 🌍

BBC Scotland TV channel to close - isn't it wild that an elected Scottish Government has no control over the broadcasting that happens here? bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/10/20/b...
