1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of me moving to Hastings.

No regrets. I love this town.

Someone found a fish on the pavement and handed it in the the local pet rescue. It has been reunited with its owner and returned to its pond presumably with a new outlook on life
A screenshot of a facebook post with a picture of a large koi carp swimming in a bucket. The post is a call out from the local pet rescue for the owner to come forward which was subsequently edited to note that the owner was on her way having watched a heron fly off with the fish earlier that day

Absolute perfection. #Reform
Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Farage is the right man to sort Britain out. He says he reminds him of one of the commanders he fought alongside with distinction. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

McConnell's Mill Covered Bridge, 1868
#McConnellsMillStatePark #BlueSkyArtShow #Inside #Bridge #Scape #History #EastCoastKin #Architecture
A historic covered bridge, built in 1852, and then rebuilt in 1868 after a fire destroyed the original structure. Painted red with open wood trusses on the interior, the bridge is on a road that crosses Slippery Rock Creek. The slope of the creek and trees can be seen on the right side of the photo.

This is how long it takes the coal tits to see me coming out with food. If there hadn't been an alarm call, I'd have had about 10 on my hand at once.

I think it's appalling that Britain's most enduringly popular family don't pay income tax or VAT, but it's hard to deny how much joy they bring to the general public. That chandelier gag alone...

Have you got those dark, winter evening blues already?
Take yourself to a June morning in Dorset and watch the Swifts at Cranborne Manor, flying those live-long Summer days...
All things must pass.
