Latest on What Lies Beyond: The Super Powers of Dune. What if the ‘superpowers’ depicted in Dune were real? Would this be a good or bad thing? A speculative article on ‘extraordinary human abilities’ as Science Fiction and as possible fact.

Reading a utopia almost feels like an act of defiance today. Somehow managed to have missed reading this one before. A thought for the hive mind: would a podcast on utopias be of interest? I think there's a desperate need to think about more positive possibilities for society today.....

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives.

Look at Labour’s acts of environmental vandalism and ask: did I vote for this? | George Monbiot
Our rivers, our wildlife, the air we breathe: the government is sacrificing all to the insatiable god of GDP – and mocking our objections, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1/Ok here goes: I find it hard to believe that Keir Starmer is ignorant of just how much trouble we're in because of climate breakdown and ecological degredation. The MOD have been doing disaster scenarios on this for years and have been planning scenarios for supply chain interruptions etc.

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

It's funny but whenever I go to the woods for an extended period I start to drop out of hyperactive 21st century consciousness and enter a more timeless space. I also start feeling a deep sense of peace. Something about the wood seems to flush low-level anxiety from the brain.

Jealous Trump Throws Own State Funeral To Upstage Carter’s
WASHINGTON—Peeking out of his coffin with one eye open, a jealous President-elect Donald Trump reportedly threw his own state funeral Thursday in an effort to upstage the late Jimmy Carter’s ceremony. “I’m way deader than he is,” mumbled Trump, who lay at the opposite end of the National Cathedral as his senior aides attempted to […]
