Personal account. Personal opinions. Tweets increasingly about the #ClimateEmergency. Let's face it, if we don't deal with that nothing much else matters.

"Finding great prices, that's what makes it Christmas" - seriously, @Tesco? I'm not religious but even I find that pretty offensive.

If you don't yet know about AMOC & understand the implications of slowdown & shutdown you need to read this (or similar) Ignorance is no defence for throwing away the futures of your children & grandchildren; just because politicians have failed them doesn't mean you should too.
What is the global ocean overturning circulation, and why does it matter for you? Here’s a great short explainer by the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science. Did you know a slowing ocean overturning circulation could affect your life? https://t.co/5onjCszJm5

What an astonishing display of arrogance and ignorance from Jess Phillips lecturing the public about a word she can not even pronounce, from a language she does not speak, that comes from a culture she clearly does not understand. Hopeless doesn't even begin to cover it.
'So you will share the dismay of many that the BBC described it as "largely unarmed and popular"?' @NickFerrariLBC asks Labour's Jess Phillips if she thinks 'intifada has overtones of violence', as those who call for it to be 'globalised' now face arrest.

It's darkly amusing but also very revealing that the Corran Ferry breaking down earlier this week didn't merit a mention on the @BBCScotlandNews webpages at the time, whereas it being fixed & returning to service does

It's good to question establishment narratives. But it's the height of naivety to say "no one here wants a War with Europe, the UK or anyone else" when Russian commentators are making exactly this threat on their TV shows almost every day.
Your Update from Moscow. Absolutely no one here wants a War with Europe, the UK or anyone else Meanwhile, no one on the streets of London, Paris or Berlin wants a War with Russia So why is a tiny EU / NATO elite trying to burn the continent? And who's going to die for them?

"What distinguishes the Gaza genocide is the West’s direct responsibility"
I wrote a personal essay on what it has meant for me witnessing events in Gaza since October 2023. I would be grateful if you help spread it. These were painful, disturbing conclusions to reach. But inescapable…

Anyone who says there is a ceasefire in Gaza is either a liar or a fool, or both.

In the Epstein files DOJ released today, all 119 pages of a New York grand jury document are completely redacted. Every page. The only conclusion any sentient being can reach: Donald Trump, already an adjudicated rapist, is all over these files in lurid and graphic detail.

“I support genocide” will remain perfectly legal, however, since this is the de facto position of the state.

After which they'll no doubt travel to the residence of their Russian colleague Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Three Russian officials – Jared Kushner, Kirill Dmitriev and Steve Witkoff – are travelling to Miami to coordinate their next moves against Ukraine, the European Union and U.S. national security.

A picture is worth a thousand words... This photograph says a lot about the sorry history of Highland/Scottish moors, money, power, the ties between 'aristocracy' and capitalism, & the way in which Highland estates/grouse moors/land etc have been used as playthings of the rich.

And this little more than 3 weeks after the @nebriefing to which most (all?) the panelists would have been invited. Did they attend but simply reject the warnings of the experts? Or did they just not bother to attend? (because an existential crisis is really not that important)
Rarely listen to Radio 4's Any Questions but caught the last 10 mins today when the great & good were predicting where the UK would be in 10 yrs. How disconnected from reality can you be? And these are supposed to be our leadership class. Not *one* mention of the #ClimateCrisis

Did I miss the equivalent statement from the UK Government, @YvetteCooperMP? Grateful if you could link me to it.
Denmark deeply regrets the US decision to impose sanctions on two more judges of the ICC. Denmark reaffirms its unwavering support to the @IntlCrimCourt as an independent and impartial judicial institution.

....so rigorous now that 'ordinary' houses have become unaffordable for many, especially young people starting out. But a simple, basic wooden house can be self-built & provide far greater comfort than a static caravan, which bizarrely the system accepts for residential use 2/2

The other thing this highlights is the desperate need in planning & building standards for a new use class - 'starter home' or similar - sitting between huts (which are only for temporary occupation) & 'full' houses. Building standards have become....1/2 https://t.co/1F0y9Fhz9L
Starting in 1944 until ca. 1960, the Finnish government sponsored/published nine different free designs of urban or rural homesteads that could be built by anyone without special tools or skills, "Rintamamiestalo" (Frontline soldier's house). Tens of thousands were built all over

Pretty sure the old Crofters Commission had a 'standard' design they made available, certainly in the 1960s anyway - my in laws used it, & you see similar houses in other crofting communities. Sadly not focused on timber, though.....
