"If we don't catch / sell it, somebody else will". The argument used by every fisherman, hunter and arms dealer. At £4000 per fish I can't see fishermen leaving them alone.

This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.

We just went to a screening of "Derek v Derek", a 90 min documentary about two farmers and their differing viewpoints on the future of farming and rewilding. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing it if you get the chance. Entertaining, funny and thought-provoking.

I hope that everyone will stop referring to artificial intelligence and using the shortcut AI. It should definitely be SI, "superficial intelligence". Looks smart on the surface but there's no depth or wisdom there, no actual knowledge whatsoever.

If their hero, a trillionaire, chose not to solve world hunger despite it costing less than he has down the back of his sofa, why does this guy think the ai gods will just hand out money? And who will maintain everyday folk's infrastructure?

This morning I had the joys of opening a pipe music book and playing tunes that I had half forgotten. I always find it truly amazing: the sheer diversity of tunes to be had from a nine note scale.

"Lord Byron (1788–1824)". From "Last Words", a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person. #poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #lastwords #byron
                         Now, I shall go to sleep.
             Alone, for once —
                  and that is as it should be
                                    when one fears no wakening.

                                                              Of late I have preferred
                                              my dreams to waking life:
                    my limping swallows
                                fly to nest,
       and cease their restless soaring,
              swooping,
    skimming placid lakes.

           I know I’ve done things
                     that the world calls mad
                (I’ve done things even I call bad),
                                   but there is more to me than that...
                                                     I promise there is more to me than that.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Bail us out over the midterms. My mother visited Czechoslovakia in 1980. There were queues for everything, including potatoes, in the shops, as all the local produce had been sent to Moscow to make Soviet Russia look like a 'land of plenty' during the Olympic games. Same vibes.

I'm just baffled that the US public actually votes these people into office. Unashamedly racist, openly corrupt, unapologetically stupid; are these really the best political representatives you can come up with? If so, the only conclusion I come to is that they truly represent the US public.

Just watched the Schmitt show on the far side of the pond. I've said it before but it warrants saying again: the US conducts it's business with a constant soundtrack of Duelling Banjos and people think it's normal in a functional first world nation. The US votes for the politicians it deserves.
