Good morning to the FT in particular, which manages to run an editorial team among the few in mainstream media that manage to call a genocide a genocide, while also uncritically admiring the economy behind a genocidal regime.

Got ourselves a #naturespy wildlife camera with my mum's christmas money. Aside from the 7 neighbourhood cats that use our garden as a toilet (🤮) we do get some lovely shots of our resident foxes on a daily basis 🦊

This is me, looking out the window of the UK's Atmospheric Research Aircraft, studying clouds and their turbulent motion. Stay tuned for more (physical) cloud-related threads.
