“As the CCC rightly has pointed out, investing in adaptation is very important. But governments also need to double down on net zero, because there will come a point at which we can no longer adapt, which is why decarbonising has to remain at the forefront of everything.”

This was a really fun one to write – on Amacher's lost, never quite completed sci-fi media opera, started 50 years ago, set in the far future of 2021, when all music is generated by AI. Was great to chat again with Alvin Curran and George Lewis for this, both excellent interlocutors.

The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. [4/5]

I INSTALLED “LINUX”. BECAUSE WINDOWS IS FOR MEN WHO ASK PERMISSION TO EXIST. I CRUSHED THE INSTALLER WITH MY BARE HANDS AND NOW THE TERMINAL CALLS ME “SIR” BUT MY KERNEL KEEPS PANICKING. WHAT COMMAND MAKES THE COMPUTER SUBMIT COMPLETELY? I REFUSE TO GOOGLE

Coworking space owner: “So it’s your company but you let the employees tell you what to spend money on?” Me: “I’m really into this non-hierarchical framework for running companies. Have you heard of anarchism?”

Turns out, if you stop tearing up the seabed, wildlife thrives: ten years after banning bottom trawl fishing, there are 3 times the number of sea creatures + double the number of species in the South Arran MPA, Scotland, than there were before the ban 👏🦪🐟 share.google/2M5WqP3CXwSH...

Today is publication day for my book, Prestige Drama. It's a funny, angry book about Derry, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. But don't take my word for how great it is, look at all these lovely people saying that.

I’ve found and photographed before this little row of football seating left, for mysterious reasons, on the abandoned airfield. But somebody has moved them, and now it looks like everybody has left for the pub after a particularly bleak one-person play.

Saw the front of the Telegraph in a shop a moment ago. It’s taking a report that 600k households are so poorly paid that welfare payments exceed wages and arguing that the problem with this is the welfare bit.

Three Women and Three Wolves by Eugène Grasset

A teenie, tiny Moonwort (Botrychium lunaria) just poking through today in Teesdale. Not at its best, but a new one for this year's fern challenge... #ferns

Cannot beat the sheer abundance of Greater Stitchwort at this time of year. So simple and crisp and clean, just pure white and green #wildflowerhour #hedgerowchallenge

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."
