A photo of me holding a placard stating: Palestine Action Are Protesters Not Terrorists

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."
They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

They will try to tell you, “Resistance is futile.” It is never so.

"Scientists On Survival is not a book that proffers some tired epithet about "saving the planet": it is about saving each other. It is a celebration of community in its broadest, richest sense, encompassing everyone determined to hammer the arc of our fragile existence toward justice."

Was this ironic? Sorry I am not sure

It used to be that most Americans wanted companies to take public stances on social & environmental issues. In the last year or so, there's been more polls showing the opposite

Unwaivering values are still rewarded - Costco, Patagonia, etc.

Companies that go back on stances can be punished

The Worst Person You Know Is Making Good Points About Elon Musk Elon Musk is speed running the process of small-d democratic collapse. It's all part of the accelerationist plan.

Bannon: Musk etal “don’t give a flying fuck about the human being. … If we don’t stop it, and we don’t stop it now, it’s going to destroy not just this country, it’s going to destroy the world.

The persistence of warmth after the end of the 2023/2024 El Nino event remains quite anomalous by historical standards. Heres a comparison between the evolution of (detrended) temperatures after major El Nino events (updated from this: www.theclimatebrink....)

Mother trees and socialist forests: is the ‘wood-wide web’ a fantasy? The long read: In the past 10 years the idea that trees communicate with and look after each other has gained widespread currency. But have these claims outstripped the evidence?

“If trees have conceptual value, it is not because their similarity to us elicits our sympathy, but because their difference from us enlarges our horizons.”

Great study @fdabl.bsky.social . Surprised that 40 of scientists of all disciplines follow a vegan/vegetarian diet. In my discipline (organization & management studies) data on food at main conference show a growing Nr. of vegan/vegetarians (this 6% self-declared being vegans) but much less than 40%

This is why I'm so weirded out by most post-apocalyptic films/tv we get nowadays. Nothing but roving bands of murderers everywhere. I guess that says something about assumptions of basic human impulses in US culture (given that most of such entertainment comes from there).

I wrote a book about that, called A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster (2009).

“what we often see in a crisis is not social collapse but instead people working together, finding ways to ration or share, displaying the best of human nature” we need this kind of narrative to advance our cultural preparedness for coming crises
