When I’m not walking, to gain @BetterPoints to buy books, I’m tricycling on my 1980s tricycle which gains me points too.
Looking forward to @otleyscience.bsky.social Festival tomorrow for the 10.00 to 4.00 family day!

I’ve been getting the *bus* rather than taking the car in the glorious weather we’ve had lately and I’m saving up my @BetterPoints.bsky.social for an @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social gift card to spend on myself.

You, yes YOU, need to listen to this episode or Rare Earth from @helenczerski.bsky.social, about skyrocketing power demand from data centres. Particularly now that the UK govt is asking residents to use less water so it can cool the Slop Generator.

Born #OnThisDay in 1920 was Rosalind Franklin. Her work on X-ray diffraction images of DNA helped lead to the discovery of its structure, but her efforts were only recognised posthumously. Liz Sockett FRS and Isabelle Moss reflect on her enduring legacy:

4/ The Devastation Bill benefits big infrastructure projects that cut through conservation units, privileging mega dams and roads, posing even more of a threat to our Indigenous peoples who continue to be persecuted and murdered by criminals from mining and agrobusiness.

3/ The Devastation Bill gives agribusiness the green light to circumvent licensing. Brazil is historically among the top 10 greenhouse gas emitters globally, and this is mostly due to deforestation and land use change. Efforts to curb deforestation will suffer now!

2/ The Devastation Bill takes away power from federal environmental agencies, allowing industries to negotiate directly with local governments, which poses specific threats to biomes and water access, since every jurisdiction can promote their self-interest.

1/ In one more chapter of "Brazil is hosting COP30, but environmental destruction is still the norm at home", our Congress passed legislation that will destroy environmental licensing and allow harmful industries to "self-license". We've named it the Devastation Bill.
