1/2 This quote from Gus Speth in 2013 is tragically true. “I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social More trees planted in streets- reduces ground temperature significantly. Solar panel grants to help absorb extra electricity demands from air conditioning. White roofs like in Bermuda - to reflect sun and they also use the rainwater to drink (as no rivers there)

Shocked Keir Starmer resigned. I know people didn’t like him because 🤷 but he got a lot done (not publicised well ) and was making great progress. I like Andy Burnham but I don’t think this was helpful or wise. Everything has to be instant these days. Thanks, TikTok *adjusts 1/2 moon glasses* 👵🏽

Brexit was an act of “sabotage” that has made Britain up to £30bn a year worse off, former foreign secretary David Miliband has claimed. He said the loss of income caused by leaving the EU is equivalent to imposing “a punishing taxevery day” on the UK. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

you know the way "why did the Roman Empire fall" and "what are the causes of the First World War" are big questions that sort of function like Rorsharch tests, allowing people to debate ultimately inexplicable moments in history? "Why did no one stop Trump" a decent future shout for the third.

It’s my birthday. 🎂 Thanks for the kind messages thus far. I wanted to ask 4 quick things of you today. There’s so much more I wanna say but know this is already a bit long. Don’t be a stranger. Bye for now.

We’re only 10 days into 2026 and it feels pretty extreme and hopeless already but I’m seeing glimmers of what’s possible as people’s sadness and fear turns into focussed distain and a renewed willingness to not just react but to act strategically

If you’re feeling dysregulated, that means you care. Worry about those who don’t feel it

Rather than accept a pint for my birthday, I’d like to ask 4 quickies

Next week, I’m going to interview Music Declares Emergency on the Drowned in Sound podcast to discuss their new message, which we need right now: Hope Over Fear - a project to fund action hubs in grassroots music venues

1) Go treat yourself to some of their fantastic merch with slogans to live by like Another World Is Possible. This follows on from their brilliant No Music On A Dead Planet campaign

A lot of what’s occurring in the world right now from Ukraine to Venezuela is about extracting from our natural world. It’s about minerals to power AI and land grabs for fossil fuel that pollutes the planet but also to make the 3000 billionaires even richer

2) Speak their language and join the various boycotts of platforms like Spotify when lots of more ethical alternatives exist (I met some lovely researchers and experts who explained those alts in recent DiS podcasts if you wanna listen in)

3) Musicians and people who follow me who work in music can do simple things to push back like agreeing to give a small percent to Brian Eno’s EarthPercent, who fund the work of some amazing orgs including lawyers at Client Earth who take on governments and corporations, often holding them to existing agreements and laws or creating new ones. Musicians could also support projects like Sounds Right where you credit nature as a collaborator and a small royalty trickles through

4) You can also choose to support independent media with your time, attention, and ideally some funds. Whether that’s music blogs like mine or investigative reporters or emerging media orgs and creators

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Just listening on catch up- possibly the racial slurs story isn’t getting so much traction amongst his supporters is that a lot of them concur. They’d prob be more influenced by the question of the Russian interference as that would seem to them more overtly anti -patriotic.

This reminds me of my favourite little factoid about hedgehogs. They used to be called 'urchins' in English, so a sea urchin was a sea hedgehog. In Welsh, a hedgehog is a draenog, and a sea urchin is draenog môr... a sea hedgehog.

It’s obviously pissing in the wind to point it out, but I’m not sure how this gets fixed unless people stop using TikTok, which is the same as saying there’s no way of fixing it. The minute we gave up control of who we see on our feeds to big, amoral companies, this was inevitable.

One of the things that enrages me about Labour’s approach is the reality that immigration hysteria is *entirely manufactured* Farage has used it to flog every con and it’s been in the tabloids, daily, for ten years. To the point that now even some Labour voters defend it. It’s fucking MADE UP.
