I watched yesterday's webinar on this subject, and it really does feel like a whole new frontier of exciting possibilities and potential is opening up in how we grow food, and how that impacts on the natural world.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I've been married for closing in on 40 years and I've been in higher education for pretty much all of them. And yet V still chirpily asks "Are you finished grading yet?" The answer is no. It's always no. It *will* always be no. When I die, cremate me with ungraded papers.

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.
In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.
