Over 1.1m people have already signed a petition against Kier Starmer's terrible ID card scheme and it's only been a few hours since it was announced. lol petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

So we're putting in a mass digital id database immediately before a potential Reform government that will use it to deport and brutalise millions of people? Your local supermarket refusing to let you buy food without your id card in 2030 cos right to work checks morphed into right to eat checks.

Happy Southward Equinox everyone! 🌗

This feels like one of those books that all humans should read. With 12,000 years of case studies Luke Kemp lays out a compelling theory of civilizational collapse and what it means for where our current society is heading. Spoiler alert, it's likely nowhere good. www.penguin.co.uk/books/321192...

Great atmosphere in the climate block of the @makethempay.bsky.social march. Let's abolish the rich y'all (or at least make them pay for all the damage they've done). 🤑

I've signed up!

It's exciting to see that sortition and assemblies are going to be a large part of "YourParty". Are we on the verge of a shift in power away from the elites in the UK? Also great publicity for the sortition themed game I'm working on! 😀 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Some alarming current news🌊: "if carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have been catching up on the excellent Exploits of Play podcast from @maxhaiven.bsky.social . This episode on the role of playfulness in direct action is particularly worth a listen! weirdeconomies.com/contribution...

We had a break over the summer but @charliejgardner.bsky.social and @claretotty.bsky.social are now back with more hot takes on the latest news for the climate movement. 🔥🎙️ youtu.be/uXMfKCz_DOE

Focusing on bats and newts is a cynical attempt to reframe nature as nothing more than a triviality But nature is our life support system Conservation isn't just about helping other species - it's also about maintaining the conditions that allow us to thrive

It took some late nights, but I managed to get something submitted to my first game jam. Citizens Assemble! from @globalgamejam.bsky.social . Check it out here: alexorkid.itch.io/thekingssort... Would love to know what people think.

Big news for those that like gaming and authoritarian petro-states. 🎮🛢️ observer.co.uk/news/busines...

This is the worst Tory government yet.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

Great explainer from PBS Terra on the latest wet bulb event research 🌡️🥵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hBM...

Happy Northern Solstice from the Prime Meridian! 🌇

WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION The suggestion to consider Palestine Action as a proscribed group is a gross violation of UK law, opposes the definition of what a terrorist actually does, and insults the memories of victims both of genuine terrorism and of the genocide in Palestine. 1/3

We are incredibly proud to share that we've received the Projects We Love tag on #Kickstarter! Thank you, Kickstarter, for the recognition! All Will Rise will be launching on Kickstarter soon. Join us here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #ProjectsWeLove #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieStudio

Games are just another front in the disinformation war waged by big oil. 😬

Great hype from Tristan Clark and @aeiea.bsky.social at the launch of the Citizens Assemble game jam at SXSW London. Excited to see what everyone comes up with. 🕹️🌍

I'm excited to get involved in this future politics focussed game jam starting this week. Just got to think of a way to make citizen's assemblies into a fun game... 🤔

🌽💀 @claretotty.bsky.social and @charliejgardner.bsky.social discuss the looming food crisis. youtu.be/cvscnfQmE8o

Oh boy Andor was really good! And featured the most well dressed rebellion I've ever seen. 🌌👩‍💼✊

200 scientists brought science to politics today in London. We were joined by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social, @robinince.bsky.social, @mikebernerslee.bsky.social, and former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK govt Sir David King. Science is political. @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

Want to know what a wet bulb event is and why they might be coming sooner than was thought? @charliejgardner.bsky.social and @claretotty.bsky.social discuss 👇 youtu.be/cFgKEOCgxCU

So close to 100,000 signatures. It closes on Monday. 🤞

😂

New Taskmaster, Game Changer, The Rehearsal and Andor all this month. What a time to be alive! 🤯

What a loss... stupid capitalism 🤦‍♂️

Great work by Liberty to get this result! 📢✊

⚠️HSBC, NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds⚠️ All ploughing money into our destruction Does your bank know how you feel about that? Move your money today and feel more powerful www.switchit.green

This great short documentary about scientists taking direct action for climate by @lepkirk.bsky.social and Louisa Jones is now on YouTube. Worth a watch! 🥼🌍👮

Now's a great time to donate to XR because donations are being doubled by the #GreenMatchFund until 29th April (and also because we're at 430ppm 😬) donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Heartening data but I wonder why the UK's willingness to contribute is much lower than most of the rest of the world. My guess would be capture of our media by fossil fuel interests plus current insulation from climate extremes by the gulf stream. 🤷 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In this week's NFAWIF episode @claretotty.bsky.social chats to Martina Donlon, Climate Communications Lead at United Nations, about the challenges of communicating the climate crisis. youtu.be/TvCbumWbUng

Interesting research into the best way to frame climate data! Make it binary🤖: - Average annual winter temp. < did the lake freeze? - Average snowfall depth < was it a white christmas? - Average pot water temp. < is the frog dead? etc...

This is a really great summary of our current political and economic situation and where we're heading from @garyseconomics.bsky.social A must watch!👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUKa...

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

⚠️Right now #ExtinctinRebellion rebels aged 4 to 83 are occupying BP’s HQ because the future of our kids is being gambled away for short-term greed 🤮BP’s so-called #GreenTransition was always a lie. Their “reset” isn’t a step forward — it’s a step towards extinction ‼️They must be held accountable

One of my activist roles is working on this podcast with the ever insightful @claretotty.bsky.social and @charliejgardner.bsky.social This week's episode on the future of the climate movement is worth a watch. youtu.be/ZGzUK7yEDz0?...

Yes!

A cool looking upcoming nature game. Check it out! 👀🌳

Yet another paper making a compelling case that academic activism is entirely consistent with the roles and responsibilities of scholars There's a rich literature now and the case has been well made - let's shift the discussion from whether we should act, to how www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The 2 biggest things you can personally do to lower your carbon footprint 👣: 1. stop flying ❌✈️ 2. start arresting oil execs 🛢️👮‍♀️

Oil execs getting arrested! What a great action by these women. 🛢️👮‍♀️

Shout out to @lepkirk.bsky.social and Louisa Jones for their inspiring short film Plan Z which examines why scientists are increasingly turning to getting arrested in the name of encouraging climate action. Seek it out! 👀 plan-z-film.co.uk

I'm with Brian on this. 😂

"two-thirds of irrigated agriculture depends on the runoff contribution from mountains" 👀

Happy Northward Equinox!🌓
