The first law passed in the Commons on a Saturday since the 80’ and approved by the King on the same day too!!

I’m puzzled like many — what British gov’t can do better than Chinese here — they were making a loss of £700k per day. Is it to save 2,700 jobs? Of course Jeremy Corbyn supports #nationalisation of any industry. If that’s US tariffs, again what British gov’t can do better here?

Looking forward to the talk by Ahmad Lashkaripour @lashkaripour.bsky.social

Activiste Sharifeh Mohammadi uit Iran heeft de doodstraf gekregen. Alleen maar omdat ze demonstreerde voor vrouwen- en arbeidersrechten. Ze is geheel onschuldig. Teken nu de protestmail. www.amnesty.nl/forms/email-...

How great it is that in #bluesky there is no advert! We may need to think about buying customised domain to help it paying its bills — I’d be happy to do that as long as it wouldn’t give me any privilege (c.f blue tick in #xitter)

Here is Vol. 1 of the Bluesky Energy & Environmental Economics starter pack.

If your account is still active at the Nazi Bar, feel free to share there to help get new feeds primed--there are a lot of people here!

Let me know if you'd like to be included in the next batch!

Some species after 60 years of local extinction are now thriving there!

The award ceremony can be watched here, including a short video about the wildlife in Mansurabad:
webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w...

Mansurabad was our beloved weekend destination as kids, and now it is a perfect example of the work by Elinor Ostrom: local communities and conservationists could safeguard this precious ecosystem by uniting conservation values with sustainable economic values(ecotourism and sustainable hunting)

Very proud to see that Mansurabad, a village in Rafsanjan of #Iran founded by my grandfather, Yousef Moin, more than 70 years ago, has been the recipient of Markhor Award of the #UN at COP16 on #Biodiversity for its exceptional community-led conservation.

Please repost and spread the news!
And time to complete that political environmental economics paper of yours! (Submission deadline Nov 1)
