My biggest frustration in terms of rising to this moment is: people obviously do not understand that there's a whole psyop strategy around DEMORALIZATION.
I do not necessarily think that every doomcryer is insincere, but to steal hope is still to hand our enemies weapons.

What are sinkholes and how do they form? I'll be on Mysteries of Sinkholes on Channel 4 this Sunday at 6pm. If you miss it, it will be on catch up. Amazing stories that take you across the world, I will discuss their broad range from sacred sites to places that swallowed up homes...and people.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

More bothersome nonsense from some anti trans voices - it astounds that, when there is so much abuse and femicide by cis men, it has been decided trans people are the threat - it feels like the madness of McCarthyism

Over the festive season you may mix with extended family members with some extreme views you find repulsive. A reminder that you don’t have to go into battle with that person (I stopped myself today), but that you can (prob more usefully) donate to places like @refugeecouncil.bsky.social instead.
