To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you have any thoughts about the failures or successes of the Online Safety Act, Grok undressing kids, Meta intentionally connecting groomers to kids, or the mental health crisis created by these addictive, polarizing, disinformation machines, better to speak up here than a social media post.
They have turned this beautiful city into a wasteland. Those who do don’t die from bombs will succumb to unspeakable illness. Most of my close family is in Tehran
Lovely story on the BBC about iceberg a23a, which has given us decades of fun but is now nearing its end…
Really enjoyed talking with Mark Poynting about this one-time behemoth.

Brilliant article by @nafeez.bsky.social on the collapse of our civilisation and the birth of a new system. “If you listen you can hear her breathing”
I've been fortunate enough to meet many formidably smart, fully committed, & thoroughly decent people who, for years, have strived to try to avert dangerous climate change.
They failed.
Saying that does not lessen my gratitude to them, 1/11

EveryDoctor is starting a new project looking at whether private equity is now moving into NHS in-sourcing (a system where private companies are paid to do NHS work). 🚨🚨🚨
I’ll tell you more later but please watch this space- this matters! 💙💙💙

Coming to this late, but do have a watery listen to @jenratcliffe.bsky.social and @amyjanebeer.bsky.social...
Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.
A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.
The Welsh Government has launched the first section of a new 80km forest trail, marking a major step forward in the development of the National Forest for Wales
When my daughter was about 7, she remarked that infinity could be a circle but not a line. We need to progress from lines on graphs to circles. And we can’t do it soon enough.
Clear and cogent, this article is definitely one to bookmark for future reference. (Bluesky - perhaps we can build a reference library of such posts). #referencelibrary
"A growing number of Indonesian K-pop fans are directing their frustration at Hana Bank, accusing the South Korean lender of backing projects tied to coal-fired power despite its public commitment to phase out coal financing."

Deeply saddened to see the UK slash climate aid for developing countries.
Climate finance isn’t charity; it’s a responsibility. We must stand by our commitments and the countries that did the least to cause this crisis.

We certainly are!
It’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow. That green!
It's all so irritatingly simple. If we'd have listened to the Greens back in the 70's and 80's we wouldn't be in this mess and we would have avoided so many oil-based conflicts.
It’s all about choices.
@bbclaurak.bsky.social why on earth did your show attach dramatic music to the footage of the bombing in the Middle East? Unbelievable. #Iran
Look for the word community. Wherever you see it, you will see life.
The Daily Mail is a massively destabilising force. The drip feed of continuous anti migrant poison is incalculable.
