Oh I think he’s motivated by racism, resentment, and narcissism. My speculation, he can’t conceive that his inability to secure a tenure track job reflects how his own scholarship performed in job market, so he doubled down on his racist ideas as some sort of cognitive coping mechanism.

I’ve had conversations with Nathan (he wrote a defense of Lorenz a while back). He takes a short sighted approach (which is reflected in the stilted arguments in his papers) and it’s unlikely he mapped out the consequences of insighting a racist mob in contrast to going through official channels.

Because Nathan is spinning, and surrounding himself with his white supremacist crew to avoid thinking about the consequences of what he did and why he did it. Right, @nathancofnas.bsky.social ?

An interesting, occasionally cringey but quite positive read. The journo calls bird ringing bird tagging, but does use ringing once, in inverted commas... And anyone who uses the lazy cliché about birders or twitchers flocking to something should be made to write with a crayon for a day!

Instead, the milestone will be marked with a live event at the Royal Albert Hall broadcast on BBC One, featuring music from his programmes as well as stories and reflections from public figures and leading advocates for the natural world. In a recorded audio message shared on Thursday night, Attenborough said: “I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.
