South Korea went from burying almost all its food waste to recycling almost all of it. In 1997, 95.4% went to landfill. Today about 95% is recycled, after a 2005 landfill ban, separate collection and pay-by-weight bins that cut Seoul’s daily food waste by nearly a quarter. The Korean Zero Waste […]

Australia’s High Court has ruled that the climate impact of coal burned overseas needs to be considered. In a landmark decision earlier this week the court ruled that the approval of a massive coalmine expansion in the Hunter Valley was invalid, because planners never considered the emissions […]

Zack Polanski is spitting righteous fire over here. #ukpol #ukpolitics #greenparty #uklabour
Zack Polanski quote-tweeting a report from Sky News.

Sky News: "Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring 'Zionism is Racism'.

Polanski: "I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.  I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.  You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it."

"Arcane" was so good, that listening to the soundtrack years later still illicits the same emotions I was flooded with watching it for the first time. I can still see Jinx setting off that flare.

PizzaCake had a rather hard-hitting one. #cornell
A PizzaCake comic with 4 panels:

1. Older woman: "All this Jane Doe, Cornell stuff is totally overblown.  It's so silly!"

2. Older woman: "If that's what they call rape now, then I guess my friends and I have all been raped too!"

3. Author looks at older woman with empathy.

4. Author places her hand on the older woman's shoulder.

The neighbourhood kids have taken to scrawling all over the street with chalk such that the road is never without the art of a 6 year old or two. Today, the bin men came in their big truck, and one of them took the time to leave a message.
A message written in white chalk on paving stones: "Bin men love the art".

So, after eighteen months of lying on the supermarket floor screaming at Denmark, Donald Trump has been handed the 1951 defence agreement, which already gave America bases and the run of Greenland for as long as NATO exists, and which it was using so enthusiastically that it closed sixteen of its seventeen installations there. The grown-ups have simply wrapped the toy he already owned in shiny new paper, told him it was the biggest present anyone has ever had, and he is now running round the garden showing it to everyone. He will certainly make the history books, although I fear not in the chapter he was hoping for.

This is exactly what it's like to cycle in the UK.
A narrow street with monstrous cars parked on the pavement on both sides and another car driving down the centre.  Drivers of all cars are shouting at cyclists about how they're inconveniencing them or posing a danger to others.

I just realised that the until-recently stable state of the world was likely engineered to support the flow of fossil fuels. It's hard to build an economy on a resource you don't have, so it was in the West's interest to build/preserve a stable world economy. Now that fossils are wanning, the […]
