Carl, a chara, this is excellent. My wife and I have sent this to friends and relatives overseas who were trying to figure out what was going on. One of the most lucid explanations of context I've read.
This is an essential thing to consider. Committing to LNG is abjectly harmful in so many ways.
Getting scans such as MRIs for musculoskeletal pain without a clear suspicion of serious pathology (cancers, bone infections, etc.) leads to worse patient outcomes, significant environmental impacts, and is a major drain on public health resources.
... of their platforms make billions, it's the equivalent of putting a plaster on a gunshot wound.
I don't dislike LT's operating style - giving people the space to show that they are hollow and letting them verbally hang themselves has a place, it's just not going to be the right tool to offer a structural critique. But, when some odious guys are making thousands/millions as the owners...
Bang on, this was my issue with it too. I often have to remind people of what Zuckerberg's first website was designed to do when he was a student. Disdain for women was baked in.
Title slide of a powerpoint presentation titled 'Nature Therapy and Chronic Pain'.
Finishing up my slides for a lecture I'll be giving to final year physiotherapy students in Trinity College Dublin on Thursday, as part of their chronic pain module. The complex, uncertain, but hopeful world of nature-based interventions and environmental determinants of musculoskeletal health.
... anthropomorphic narrative.
Worth following @j-karst.bsky.social, who has published extensively in this space. Simard's story resonated, but I still have a sense of wonder as the interconnectiveness of the system (including mutualism and competition) is so much bigger, weirder and uncertain than fits into an...
I have never visited there. A mistake I need to rectify
Signed.
The pain of those impacted is heartbreaking. It speaks to an abdication by those in power. Housing? Sort it yourself. In a flood plain? Tough, should have bought elsewhere. Reducing future risks? Not our problem. Every single step demands hyperindividual responses to collective problems.
You've got this!
Absolutely, I've never had the knack of picking up languages easily, but being around people who are fluent (or at least a few pages ahead) helps a lot.
Fair play - I definitely want to start learning it again. It's a joy to see/hear so many artists of different stripes bring the language into their crafts.
Good point, hadn't thought of that.
An excellent photo - nicely done!
Got it from the library last week - three chapters in. Her writing is excellent, and I love the ecological consciousness which threads through her arguments. Cheers for that!
... you'd like more information, I'm putting out a newsletter tomorrow, so pop me a message and I'll send it on. 2/2
I don't tend to use this platform for much stuff relating to my day to day work, but I've written something I am quite passionate about. It appears that there are reasons to suspect that air pollution could be one (of many) factors which significantly increases rates of low back pain. If... 1/2
Timely - will look forward to listening.
Ashamed to say this, but acknowledging the catastrophic consequences of potential AMOC collapse seems one paltry page ahead of us.
Beautifully done!
That is a fantastic piece of work. Clear example of Brandolini's law!
That was methodical - great writing.
It's a pro-social and pro-human rebuttal to a narrative which fosters fragmentation and isolation, and for that, it's timely and needed.
I needed to read this today - thank you.
I was so sorry for your loss, Prof. In the midst of everything, your public communication helped me to navigate a lot of uncertainty with people I care about. The fact that you were doing that while grieving is not lost on us.
I enjoyed reading this, thank you Pete! Really nice consideration of the impact on African ecotourism and rhino conservation with respect to a robust European assemblage.
What a shot - took me a second to realise it wasn't a painting.
