Cybertruck is banned in the UK on safety grounds. Yet it has a 5* rating in the US? How? The US only considers safety of people in the vehicle. Everyplace else includes potential damage to other cars, pedestrians, damage to roads...

This place is a true wonder. So much work and love has gone into it and in turn it has taught countless people the lessons of this most sustainable way of growing food. Dartington Trust has made many bad decisions of late but this takes first prize for pure soullessness.
It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.
What the hell is going on?

Went to a wonderful talk by Wainwright Award winner Michael Malay at First Draft Books the other night. A history of England through four unloved species--eels, mussels, moths and crickets. Really moving talk about how we can be of service to nature.

Okay, need to go write, but felt like I needed to post on US media coverage of yesterday's Treasury protest even if nobody reads this 🧵 And, yes, I know US media has been compromised for ages now. You don't need to tell me.
