My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

“Before the conflict, tankers carried about 1/5th of the world’s oil and gas supplies through the channel, and about 1/3 of the global fertilisers necessary for half of the world’s food production. Only about 130 ships have made the passage since the war began“ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I believe this is pertinent to your interests @marchudson.bsky.social @shanley.com

Hit me that we've now been talking about bold climate action as the duty of "this generation" for three generations. We've missed the chance at an orderly transition, and live now in an era of urgent harm reduction, irreversible discontinuity and massive ruggedization. The slogans remain the same.

I look at those kids. Could so easily have been me or one of my friends. There but for the "grace" of "God" go I etc. The Catholic Church - so much grace, so much God, eh?

UK railway privatisation has of course been a stunning success. Cheap fares, responsive companies, excellent facilities. Thanks, Tony Blair!! Stoke waiting room

9/ Someone I feel is particularly worth listening to on this crucial topic is Prof. Tim Benton, at @envleeds.bsky.social, a leading expert on global food security In this podcast he explains what’s driving the collapse of our food systems and what it would take to build something truly regenerative

Ooof. (as in, palpable hit).

1/ For those of us keeping an eye on systemic #climate risks, these aren’t difficult dots to connect. I find it downright frightening. We need to brace for impacts and spring into preparedness now. This thread outlines 6 key papers and what we can do in response. ⬇️🧵

44 years ago today March 25, 1982 – CBS Evening News runs 3 minute story on the greenhouse effect. Can’t say we weren’t warned… 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=45rJ...

"Drones hit fuel tank at Kuwait airport; US military reportedly preparing to deploy the 82nd Airborne Division to Middle East" Yep, the deal is almost made. Everything is calming down. God bless Our President (for life) Donald "very stable genius" Trump.

We're doomed, I tell you, all doooooomed. And here's why. "There's a hole in my movement, dear Liza..." (aka "caught in a trap, can't walk out...") See comments policy in the post. marchudson.net/2026/03/24/t...

Succinct, and accurate imo. "Iran doesn’t need to match American firepower. It needs to generate a tempo of consequences — economic, political, humanitarian — that outruns Washington’s ability to orient, decide, and act." www.moderntimes.blog/p/iran-has-m...

Satire requires exaggeration, and you cannot exaggerate something that is already operating at maximum absurdity. This is simply the news, and nothing but the news. Told straight, in a universe that has clearly stopped taking its medication no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2...

“He tends to be naive about how things can happen. If he says it and keeps saying it there’s always a hope that what he says will come true. But that’s what kids do. It’s not what presidents do.” I think that's what used to be known as a sick burn. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Miller's crossing

This made me laugh. And cry. lry? Craugh? Is there a word for that?

On political science, policy science etc "if it has to have the word “science” in the self-description, that’s because it’s not one."

Most academics who survive the 14+ years of PhD training, post-docs, and the indignities of the tenure process do so by becoming risk-averse. They have been conditioned to submit to authority.

Vastly inaccurate cartoon. Trump's hands drawn way too big. Otherwise, though, "no notes."
