De-alcoholised wine is looking like being another stumble down a blind alley for the wine trade. We’re basically building a pot-holed off-ramp. And it’s got me mixing my metaphors.

Good thread.

A new study shows that over 90% of insect biomass declines are driven by shrinking species numbers, posing a risk to ecosystem function. www.idiv.de/majority-of-... #biodiversity

I can remember when it used to be exciting to see a satellite moving across the night sky.
By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.
