Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

1. Out of curiosity, I went through the feeds of some habitual tuna tormentors. I found they’re big on:
- fox hunting
- Reform UK
- antagonism to asylum seekers.
In other words, the same few antisocial (psychopathic?) men, turning up in all the bad places.

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵

Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The #skimage team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏

4. So why is rainforest on high Dartmoor confined to a few tiny pockets, of which this fragment is the largest? Sheep.
Sheep selectively browse out tree seedlings, which are highly nutritious. So when the old trees die, there’s nothing to replace them. You can see the results inside Piles Copse.

3. In the absence of human intervention, much of the high ground on Dartmoor would likely be covered by temperate rainforest, to judge by hygrothermal mapping, conducted here by @guyshrubsole.bsky.social’s excellent initiative, The Lost Rainforests of Britain.
