"Bentley Motors marks Earth Day with launch of its third Sustainability Report ... reinforcing its commitment to responsible luxury"

In my substack project, 'We,' I've started a series looking at how we people can affect change in unsettling times, and what that change might look like. Here's the first article - To be like a starling but think like an oak.

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world.

"London Recruits" is the story of apartheid and the part a team of recruits in London played in helping the ANC movement. It's a remarkable production of a fascinating story, sympathetically told. If it's coming to your area during the 'people's release', I recommend you see it. vimeo.com/398794480

Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

Trust in experts should extend only as far as their expertise. Because Brian Cox can explain quantum physics doesn't mean he understands politics. Exploiting space doesn't equate to us stopping the exploitation of Earth. It just means we'll do both. www.facebook.com/reel/1285795...
