In 2010, the Tories came to power talking of "broken Britain". And by god they delivered.
Six years after announcing it, the Conservative government has just delayed its own plan to introduce deposits on recycling again - to 2027. A decade to make one small change to waste laws. It will almost certainly never happen. Ineffectual government in action.
This will be news to our local branch of Reform, who have been ingeniously recruiting old people through the use and relentless advertisement of pub quizzes

This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climateEmergency #climate #energy #renewables
This is a wonderful essay about science, sentience, groupthink, climate, and time, by Daniel Immerwahr @gdnlongread pocket.co/x9sG8i?utm_sou…
Nice to see Wasteland being engaged with so thoughtfully (alongside the excellent @EdConwaySky) in @techreview technologyreview.com/2024/04/24/109…

@bylarisha @RollingStone The thing I do not understand about this narrative is this album’s Jack songs sound nothing like midnights Jack songs to me. I genuinely do not know what you all are talking about.

Delhi’s Ghazipur landfill, the setting of the opening chapter of Wasteland is on fire again. Hoping the wastepicking communities that live on the dump are unhurt.

This betrays a "good guys vs bad guys" worldview, binary thinking that simplifies complex issues into good vs. evil, fueling conspiracy theories by offering clear villains and heroes. It comforts with easy answers, strengthens group identity, and resists contrary evidence,…

Last year, I quit a job at a well-respected national media outlet where I had to write a minimum of one 600 word news story every 40 minutes. It was soul destroying + felt a bit pointless. I also kept getting headaches from staring at the laptop + concentrating so intently.

Meta revenues in the U.K. increased 750x between 2004 & 2022 (from £4 million to £3 billion). Google’s increased 22x. That destroyed ad model for British companies like ITV, hindering their ability to produce excellent TV and public service journalism. Time to talk about that.
Britain’s railways are broken. Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system. Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first.
