Now that the electronics on my boat are overhauled I’ve had my first boat shower in FOUR MONTHS. I’m excited to get back to running, cycling, and river swimming now I can wash. Reinstalling my tubeless tyre now on the side of the Avon so I can use the van a lot less. Next up: washing machine. 😍

AI is inherently ideological. It’s at its core a tool of neoliberal capitalism. Deregulation. Austerity. Theft. Wealth redistribution. Enshitifaction. Data hoarding. Mass unemployment. Fascism. Genocide. Keeping Palintir the hell away from NHS data is more common sense than ideological.

“actually people dying in house fires is rare” BECAUSE OF BLOODY REGULATIONS WHICH MEAN SHIT DOESN’T JUST SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST

Obviously Simon is a horrible little man who needs to get sacked, but seeing as Reform want to mott and bailey this to focus on regulations, what regulations actually changed after Grenfel? One of them was banning the use of **flammable cladding**. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

Keep the fines but take stock as payment. Stop screwing up or we own the company. Costs £0.

The entire world is going to burn because tech bros hate being asked to write documentation.

Donated. Given the current world, we need to keep hearing your good news.

What do I want to do? Restore ecosystems. I don’t need much help on this generally BUT My charity has a solid chance of going bankrupt if you don’t support this crowdfunder. It’s been my whole life for over five years. I am scared now. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

Find me happier than this photo (from @daisybrasington.bsky.social) planting a bastard load of trees as hedgerow and wetland dot planting on land I’ve been trying to buy for TWO BLOODY YEARS and I will give you £2,000.

Reporters will pretend they don’t understand climate justice for their entire careers without ever taking a second to think about this answer.

Fair play Denmark. Nicely done. Supporting farmers and landowners to focus on doing right by the environment will have far bigger positive impacts on food/timber security than the business as usual approach of doing next to sod all and hoping things magically change.

Remember everyone flipping out that @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggested we need to start planning for a future without NATO and y’all acted like that was ridiculous. 🙃

This is a very good point.

Beavers dont kill trees, they coppice them. Here are two trees that have been beavered at Bathampton Meadows (just down the river from Warleigh Nature Reserve) that people have been worried were “killed” that are both still growing happily. Let’s talk about it.

Oh great, drowning *and* wasps. It's like my worst nightmare. Fully agree, towpaths were designed for slow moving horses, not cyclists. Any designer that willingly signs an unmodified towpath as a cycle route is, as far as I'm concerned, asking for a corporate manslaughter charge before long.

It’s that easy. Just tell the US no. We don’t have to lick their boots and pretend to like it. @greenparty.org.uk

Never forget, for many years Uber insisted it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber & Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion. Now boosters lie about driverless cars. Don’t believe them either.

Great read in @coopnews.bsky.social on how co‑ops are helping tackle the global energy crisis. Proud to see our parent company highlighted for its work cutting carbon + improving energy efficiency across stores. 🌱⚡ Community energy, local ownership, real impact...the co‑op model at its best.

Richer families use more petrol. Some 40% of the poorest households don't even have access to a car (www.gov.uk/government/s...). Governments should absolutely not intervene on the price of petrol or diesel.

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Hahhahajajaja it just happened A cyclist screamed at me for not being more noticeable. On a canal towpath. I live on the canal. I’m meant to be on the towpath. He’s not. 1000 opinions inverting in all directions but basically… “fuck you!” 🤣

I’ve been bloody excited about blocking up old land drains and making leaky dams. Some of you just thought I was mad, but it’s already bringing in new wildlife looking for treats in water that wasn’t there before i went hard with a spade. Meet our new mate The Heron.

The level of “WHY WOULD YOU EVER PLANT TREES INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM NATURALLY REGENERATE” shitposts has now elevated to complaining about ancient hedgerow restoration, and dot planted alders to reestablish wet woodland in an area with no alders anywhere nearby. Armchairs.

Showing a bit of solidarity with the Merchants Arms in #hotwells who yet again have had a car drive through their front window, this time during opening hours.

www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/30/m... This is fun given that a recent piece of disinformation circling is that solar will contaminate your potatoes with shards of glass and Lays won't buy potatoes anywhere near a solar farm. Solar+potatoes - good together. Though Sun Chips are made from wheat...

✍️ New article: Battery costs have declined by 99% in the last three decades, making electrified transport a reality— Over 20 million electric cars were sold globally in 2025 — some for as little as $10,000. Even just two decades ago, that would have been impossible. The reason it's possible now?

The best way of describing centrism is “split the baby politics”. Right: I think we should kill all the babies. Left: I don’t think we should kill any babies wtf. Centrists: ok look we’re very reasonable, let’s just kill half the babies. There’s not always a central position.

Tories nationalising all operations in the UK territorial waters in the North Sea would actually be incredibly popular but they’re not going to do that and so this is just not at all how things work.

“Seriously ill and disabled people facing years of significant difficulty are at risk of being left on a lower rate simply because recovery, however partial or distant, cannot be ruled out.” If you’ve got a 1% change of getting better in a decade then f-you. 😡 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Imagine saying “only Labour can defeat Reform” with a straight face.

If the actually build all these data centers, it will destroy the climate, and therefore the economy. If they keep missing all their impossible deadlines relying on boondoggles the bubble will burst, destroying the economy, and therefore the climate.

Revealed: Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double - despite cost of living crisis Coupled with Reform’s policies to import US chlorinated chicken & frack rural areas, it’s clear that Farage would be a disaster for the countryside: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

If you ask any journalist from Daily Mail to Guardian, farmers and rewilders hate each other. I drink with the farmers at the local pub and they come help me rewild my land n the weekend. I do this all over the UK. Maybe some of y’all suck at your job but I don’t.

Today @protect.earth kicked things up a notch at Warleigh Nature Reserve, with 12 volunteers planting 1,500 saplings, creating a huge new hedgerow linking up sections of woodland, and dotting loads of alder and willow around the wetland areas. All saplings were rescues, destined for the woodchipper.

The biggest problem with heat pumps is corporate greed carpet bombing all discourse with easily disproven disinformation knowing people wont look into any of it. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

Boycott Elon Musk is a free and legal thrill. www.forbes.com/sites/zachar...

The premise here is basic eco-fascism. Blame the foreigners for all the bad stuff that’s happening (in general but here specifically ecological: sewage in water, deforestation, bird flu, whatever) then suggest anyone who supports them is to blame for that too. Not their ultrarich donors. No no.

Do this yesterday. There’s countless specific ways you could do it and I’ll happily settle for any of them. news.sky.com/story/ed-mil...

The fuck is going on at The Spectator.

Free newsletter: The AI industry is lying to you about progress. Only 5GW of data centers are under construction, it takes 6 months to bring online a single quarter's worth of NVIDIA GPU sales, and LLM code is actively breaking big tech. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-lying-to-you/

The first basic income pilot program for workers who have lost jobs, income, or opportunities due to AI has begun sending out monthly $1,000 payments this week. The project is starting small, but hopes to scale rapidly. Blood in the Machine has the exclusive on the launch of the AI Commons Project:

Cotswold shelterbelts maintained at Eastcourt Far. Weeded, straightened, and restocked with 400 trees out of the 2,000 planted. Great volunteers, was my whole job just trying to keep ahead of them. Thankfully we got it done by 2pm so I could get back in bed because I am lurgy monster.

Oh boy did I have a good time today. Gave up on the woodchip for now and got stuck into rewetting. All three springs are now diverted from the short steep gully’s heading straight to the river, and now are all feeding the wetland. Another channel out has been dammed. Levels rising! @protect.earth

Today’s job: Move all this. #FuckFossilFuels

“Yorkshire Water, responsible for safeguarding the region’s drinking water, has chosen not to object to the proposal, instead deferring responsibility to other regulators, stating that the Environment Agency will assess groundwater protection measures.” yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/who-i...

NV Energy will also not be able to meet its climate goals thanks to skyrocketing power demand from data centre developments. This whole region is under so much stress from this industry that it's hard to describe thenevadaindependent.com/article/data...

Warleigh Nature Reserve update! Hauled old solar panel and batteries from the boat with @juliancheal.dev to power our electric chainsaws and strimmers. Masked out trails for volunteers to find us. Found a grass snake. Unloaded biodegradable guards and stakes ready for planting next Saturday. 🥳

The incompetence of those now in charge of transport in this country is staggering. This HS2 article is basically fact-free. All of its sourced assertions are bollocks - yet this rubbish is currently further wrecking HS2. www.thetimes.com/business/com...

BUT WHAT IF I HAVE TO SEE ANY OF THIS WHEN I WALK MY DOG?!!!1
