So migrants must study English to A level standard to be allowed to work; but degrees in English are 'worthless' and a rip off.
That's a very precise level of English proficiency being mandated.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.
Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.

Fuck this. Good friends of mine and their child who I see as a neice would be affected by this. Their salaries for useful jobs come nowhere near this visa threshold. It's a terrible idea. Bad for people and bad for our country.

Of all the nonsensical claims in the climate denial motion Reform will submit to Kent County Council today, perhaps the most absurd is the claim that there's no evidence for mass bleaching of coral reefs

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

Southern Britain will soon have the climate of southern Europe, but the plants and other species that make up our forests aren’t adapted to those conditions
So if we want forests in Britain in future, what are we going to do?
The answer requires upending decades of conservation convention

![The Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula through an astrophotography telescope.
From Wikipedia:
The bright star Alnitak (ζ Ori), the easternmost star in the Belt of Orion, appears very close to the Flame Nebula in the sky. But the star and nebula are not physically associated with one another. The Flame Nebula contains a young cluster of stars which includes at least one hot, luminous O-type star labeled IRS 2b.[2] The dense gas and dust in the foreground of the nebula heavily obscures the star cluster inside the nebula, making studies at infrared wavelengths most useful.
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 or B33) is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion molecular cloud complex. It appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630, along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming H II region called IC 434.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xrxbycbachtxi4gjqk3f4rzb/bafkreiddwoz2w7co5cyrsb3h6bhn3anhjsoeaesajj7glk7tluffi2drkq@jpeg)

In the most untouched, pristine parts of the Amazon, birds are dying. Scientists may finally know why
Populations have been falling for decades, even in tracts of forest undamaged by humans. Experts have spent two decades trying to understand what is going on

I was interviewed by @msjpauly.bsky.social for @motherjones.com regarding that awful gamete size "sex" executive order. A bit of an explainer here of why the science is so bad, and why that's dangerous:
Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications
"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"
