Thanks Daniel, that's lovely of you to say so. It's a great people power story isn't it. Let's hope to see more of that.

Nice one. Read it in the mag and really enjoyed it.

Great stuff. I'm glad you've managed to shoehorn that in! I hope the book flies.

Great stuff, man. Really want to go. Though I'll never look at starlings in the same way after reading Beasts of England (a genius book, by the way)!

Definitely. There's a huge negativity bias in the mainstream news.

The same trend is happening in the US. Americans think their economy is tanking, too, when the opposite is true. Surely it's a symptom of 24/7 news culture, online misinformation and social media moral panics. We're doomed unless we clean up our polluted information ecosystem.

Joyous.

I didn’t vote for #Starmer, but Musk’s meddling in our affairs makes me more likely to support the PM, not less. Why doesn't he try running a poll to see how many Americans would like a re-run of the election?

That's spectacular, mate. What are they? Starlings?
November 26, 2024 at 9:56 AM
That's a stunner.
