Fantastic new book, coming in June! From @rowhoop.bsky.social of @newscientist.com podcast fame.
A clarion call for cooperation, at a time when competition, chaos, and cruelty seem to rule the day. A joyful book, of hope and wonder, which celebrates community as the true key to success in nature.
Amazing: “You’re knocking them out of the sky with ordnance that’s way more expensive not just than the Shahed, but sometimes it’s more expensive than the thing that the Shahed is actually hitting."
The target the Shahed is hitting is cheaper than the Patriot missile used to take it down.
This is heartbreaking and sickening. Up to 1.2 million pigs reared each year in two buildings

Watched EDGE OF TOMORROW last night. As time loop sci-fi goes, it was fun enough, definitely helped by the charisma of Cruise and Blunt. Screenplay by Jez Butterworth!
