On the occasion of the new paper on LIBS by PhD student Teresa Hu in the @ejsoilscience.bsky.social, I wrote about why soil sensing needs more than just spectroscopy.

A new paper in the journal SOIL treats soil health as a soil‑system property and puts sensing at the centre of how we measure it: soil.copernicus.org/articles/12/...

'Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems'
"Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions"
Yes, I bang on about this. C market & ff flogs continue to profit from distraction👇, so continual pushback needed
"𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢 has examined the details of confidential shipping records listing a total of 68 shipments of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft parts flown from Australia directly to Israel between October 2023 and September 2025."

NPC Australia cancels Chris Hedges’ talk on our betrayal of Palestinian journalists, bowing to Israel lobby. A supposedly independent body of journalists, academics caving to censorship? #auspol

There is some hope for the USA with politicians like Zohran Mamdani ✊
“What is the truth? That this is not a conflict that is occurring, that this is a genocide, and so we use our music to speak to the truth.”
Thank you for speaking out, Mudrat. Fuck you, ABC. And you too @australia.theguardian.com for your ongoing genocide denial.

How is it that time & again, it is artist & writers (& healthcare workers) who are prepared to do the uncomfortable work of standing up to power, to institutions & speak out against genocide❓
Why is the climate & environment movement still largely missing in action❓
UN walkout and boos as Netanyahu the butcher vows to “finish the job” in Gaza, slams Palestinian state recognition and broadcasts his threats directly to Gaza via loudspeakers and cellphones.
Applause from his soulless Israeli cheer squad. Humanity left the hall.
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
Watching @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social declare Australia’s support for a Palestinian state feels deeply hypocritical—rhetoric without halting arms to Israel or Zionist policies fueling the genocide. #auspol
Dr Assal Rad—
"Gaza City is being erased.
"This should be headline news at every major Western outlet, there should be wall-to-wall coverage."
John Lyons asks Trump real questions all journalists should ✊. In typical form, the orange blob responds bullying and threatening Australia. Trump is unfit for office, let alone the presidency.

End your support of Israel’s ethnic cleansing & genocide of Palestinians—it’s your legal responsibility. Your empty words & inaction are damaging our humanity. Don’t make us all (Australians) complicit in these horrific crimes #SanctionIsraelNOW

Oh goody. More taxpayer dollars going to fund more human rights abuses thanks to @tonyburkemp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social.
Aiding/abetting Israel's #GazaGenocide while abusing the human rights of your average asylum seeker/refugee wasn't enough.

Gaza’s doctors continue to face relentless attacks while saving lives under unimaginable conditions. We’re witnessing a documented genocide, yet Western leaders do nothing—worse, they aid the 🇮🇱 perpetrators, condemning generations of Palestinians to endless suffering.
