🎶 Postman Drac and his black-and-white bat 🎶

An image of Postman Pat waving at us as he stands in front of his van. His usual blue uniform is now black and he's clearly joined the legions of the undead. Jess, his black and white bat, can be seen flitting around the castle in the background.

I'm on a newish locomotive hauled fast train heading for Białystok and the carriage has compartments and you can hear the rush of the brakes like it's 1990 but in a good way. Lovely.

Here where we Live is our Country is the story of the Jewish Bund, a brilliant solidarity movement during the worst of times in the 1900s. Interestingly, next week I'm going to be near Krynki, where the town stood *together* against the Tsarist forces for 24 hours. @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.

"given weight to the argument". Says it all. As if it's a matter of opinion rather than scientific fact. In fact that statement has given weight to the argument that the BBC news editors are a waste of space.

The idea that "regenerative" grazing is a climate solution has really taken hold in some quarters. But the science is clear: It doesn't work. Methane and land-use emissions just overwhelm any soil carbon benefits. Here's a great piece by @nicholasdcarter.bsky.social drawdown.org/insights/eig...

Toured a chunk of northern Spain by bike. Reading this makes me think of the big contrast between Oviedo (car culture, motorway fest) and Gijón (progressive changes): two cities in Asturias just 20 miles apart.

Over the weekend, a storm in the Baltic states caused significant disruption to power supplies and at least 2 deaths. An experimental reanalysis-based attribution approach suggests that ~20% more rain fell than if the same weather pattern had occurred in a world that was 1°C cooler.

A Baltic storm caused significant damage on 22nd August 2026, but more rain fell than would have done had the world been cooler.

Problem solved. Except OFWAT estimates for just the next 5 years are: Reservoirs: £104 billion Fixing leaks: £50 billion Flood / drought resilience: £13 billion Restore's deportation plan: £132 billion That's £300 billion extra. And Restore say they'll massively cut tax. Problem not solved.

Rupert Lowe tweets: After weeks of no rain and hosepipe bans, we're now being warned to expect flooding. A Restore Britain Government will build some reservoirs, fix the drains, fix leaks and deport millions. Problem solved.

I agree about moving species, but the likely AMOC drop off in future will present an increasing problem. Not least what it means: extremely cold winters, prolonged droughts and at times an enhanced jet stream bringing intense rainfall. We will need trees even more to buffer those extremes.

It's a big day for music fans today (8th August), as it marks the 20th anniversary of the Dave Matthews Band Chicago River incident. And if you think you can guess where this story is going, I assure you that you cannot. Spoiler: things rapidly went down the drain. And, er, didn't.

I'd have thought 40°C in Eastern England and wildfires in London in 2022 would have done it. Or the massive floods of 2015. Or the heatwave of 2003 hitting NW Europe.

It’s the 7th anniversary of German police seizing 4,200 litres of beer in Ostritz, a town of only 2,300 people, which would sound like a mean-spirited thing to do, were it not for the fact that they were preventing a bunch of Nazis having any beer at a festival celebrating Hitler 🧵

Tweet, 22 June 2019, from Polizei Sachsen: “Auch heute setzen wir das Alkoholverbot in #Ostritz weiter durch. Bei Vorkontrollen konnten wir bisher mehr als 200 Liter sicherstellen.” (Roughly: Even today, we continue to enforce the alcohol ban in #Ostritz. During pre-checks, we have been able to ensure more than 200 liters so far.) plus a photo of three officers handling crates of booze
