On every issue there are some positions that are so far beyond the pale that to debate them, to allow them into the discussion is to normalise them (and even denouncing them helps to normalise them).

From “science” (cough, cough) to science fiction
Yesterday saw one of those very common-if-we-attend-them moments of serendipity. I bought the following book - Braine Wave by Poul Anderson - at "Beware the Leopard" in St Nicholas Market, Bristol. (It was definitely the only book I bought, and anyone who says otherwise will be hearing from my lawyers). And then, on the train... Continue Reading →
Of Bion & Brearely, Google & the Gulf of … America, biodiversity as an unword. And the HUMILIATION aspect. #2cotAED
This year I am going to write something short, mostly daily, about what is going on – “2 cents on the Arrived Ecological Debacle” (2cotAED). I have to write it; you don’t have to read it. If you DO read it, feel free to tell me how wrong I am (and hopefully why). Re: the debacle aspect:... Continue Reading →
“The beatings will continue until morale improves” – Starmer’s gang and their limited cognitive toolkit. Also Trump.

A Senator pleads with Republican colleagues to defend the Constitution (crickets, obvs). Also, Zelensky not running away in 2022, Sun Day in September… #2cotAED

Podcast review: Every breath you take, Alice Bell on Cursed Object podcast
So, following on from review of Rebecca John talking about Charles Keeling and the Air Pollution Foundation on the History of California podcast, here's some brief thoughts on Alice Bell on the Curated Object.

Will Trump be Trussed? Idle speculations 2cotAED
There's a bunch of unpublished because only half-narrated/written 2cotAED posts, which I aspire to publish (not narrate/write but publish!) daily. Spirit willing, flesh feeble etc. So shit is accelerating - not just with Musk datagrabbing at Treasury, but also the tariffs and the retaliatory tarrifs. Read something (on Bluesky, can't find) pointing out that Trump... Continue Reading →
