The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

I love this so much. To anyone who says what's the point of the arts (or public funding): art digests thought and feeling, feeding it back and allowing us to see from new angles, enriching our own experience of the world and every now and then that fresh perspective will trigger a precious insight.

A University of Portsmouth study finds that personal values such as frugailty, fairness, solidarity, and a dislike of waste are more likely to inspire sustainable food choices than warnings about climate change or health.

1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

Cattle tearing up public lands in the American West is a taxpayer subsidized environmental catastrophe driving wildlife to the brink of extinction.
Getting cattle out is the step 1 of Western ecological restoration.
