If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."
They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

If this is not enchroaching fascism what is it?
We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The long read: In the past 10 years the idea that trees communicate with and look after each other has gained widespread currency. But have these claims outstripped the evidence?

This is why I'm so weirded out by most post-apocalyptic films/tv we get nowadays. Nothing but roving bands of murderers everywhere. I guess that says something about assumptions of basic human impulses in US culture (given that most of such entertainment comes from there).
“what we often see in a crisis is not social collapse but instead people working together, finding ways to ration or share, displaying the best of human nature” we need this kind of narrative to advance our cultural preparedness for coming crises
"A lot of people assume that somewhere in Britain there are sheds full of food that we’d distribute in a disaster. Surely there is a grain or butter mountain somewhere? Surely the UK government has a plan for such a crisis?
Nope. No sheds. No stores. No mountains of food. No plan"
