apropos of nothing, her name’s Sarah Wynn-Williams and the book’s called Careless People.

the title’s a Great Gatsby reference, to the line, “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.”

🚨🚨 Brave contender for speech of the year. Every word of it rings true to me.

Claude Malhuret is a proper role model for European politicians in these chaotic and existential times for Europe.

Take 8 minutes of your time and listen carefully. It is worth it.

1) People are bad at discerning true from false information 2) partisan bias is not a driving force in judgments of misinformation
3) gullibility to false information is the main factor underlying inaccurate beliefs

In this @theguardian.com column, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social perfectly summarises why carbon credits for soil are not a good idea.

Yes, we need to protect soil carbon, and we may increase it through good soil management, but promising golden mountains is flawed.
