Your squeaky-wheel work is appreciated btw!
And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.
Some morning you should record it and share!
Afraid so - I've already told several people updates are planned. (No pressure! Unless it's like that difficult second album?)
The amazing @threadinburgh.scot gave an absolutely fascinating talk to @wolct.bsky.social tonight on the history of polluting the Water of Leith over the last 2 centuries & the hidden sewers that helped turn the tide. Andy says he’ll update this piece from 2022 now threadinburgh.scot/2022/12/06/t...
Surely the "target" should be none, with every reduction a positive but not sufficient step forward? You may never reach zero, but that doesn't make it a bad target. (Ten years also seems unambitious to the point of culpability!)
fine, here is one full hour of our cake cam with a lo-fi beats track for whatever
🔊 New blog! AI is shaping how we picture #Rewilding 🌿. A new study finds it leans on charismatic species & pretty landscapes, ignoring people 👥 & ecological mess 💀. It's time for richer stories. @ecioxford.bsky.social @oxfordgeography.bsky.social

This government's proposals, particularly if implemented retrospectively, will have a devastating impact on people who have built lives, work, have families, here. We already know the financial and emotional toll of the existing system. This makes it so much worse

Last year from January to June 471 people were killed or seriously injured on the roads in Birmingham, UK- and that was celebrated as an 18% reduction on the year before. Population is bigger than Brussels (9 deaths) but smaller than Berlin (55 deaths). We have so much further to go.
