“The real aim of this music is to co-ordinate the minds of peoples into an intelligent approach to the living future': Sun Ra of Sun Ra Arkestra New Horizons, from the liner notes of Jazz by Sun Ra (1959).

REconomy has been going 12 years here in Totnes. Hundreds have enjoyed accessible co-working and meetings at REconomy Centre, just across from the Lamb. 48 projects have pitched at the LEF/Community of Dragons. Four more will pitch on May 16th!

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

So far the Greens are have increased their tally of council seats by 48. Reform has only added one. But media attention is almost all on the growing popularity of Reform, while saying little about the Greens.

That about sums it up. #GeneralElectionNow

NEW CHART: How British electricity supplies are shifting decisively away from fossil fuels

Super pleased with this very beautiful graphic, by my colleague Tom Pearson and reminiscent of Joy Division's iconic “Unknown Pleasures” album cover

A great way to put climate action into context, is to imagine yourself 20 years in the future.

Seems pretty certain you’ll wish we had done more when it was - cheapest, easiest, safest and most equitable.

Boris Johnson, who made the law requiring ID to vote in elections, gets turned away from his polling station for not bringing ID (2024)

This is as insane as it can get. Historians, if any, will have hard time to understand our collective ignorance.

More problems for Sunak as Laura Kuennsberg quits live on air, triggering a by-election.

Horrific heat wave all across Asia. Lethal conditions caused by oil, gas and coal. We have to choose: we can continue building new fossil fuel projects and watch as millions suffer and die. Or we can stop, actually begin a just transition, and build a safer world.

OFFICIAL - the Governments plans to tackle the climate crisis are rubbish......

Boo. Shame. Such amazing work these guys do. Can anyone else help?

Momentous ruling: this Govt's dangerous lack of concrete climate plans & investment is unlawful. There is no time to lose now - Govt must go back to the drawing board & urgently pull together a credible plan to put the UK back on track to delivering our climate commitments

That Reform Party political earthquake put into perspective...

Really great to see the Greens and Lib Dems making gains too. Maybe the news channels could stop inviting Richard Tice and Reform on all the time and reflect the politics of this country.
