FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS

Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening!

Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

IF this DOJ were smart, they'd let the Comey case go. It's a dog case anyway, and then the judge won't have to issue another opinion w/ findings about all the misconduct in the grand jury investigation.

That's if they were smart. So of course they will do the opposite - appeal and attack the judge.

Of Beetles' wings and Brittlestars: using Biomimicry to co-create a flourishing future with Michael Pawlyn What is humanity for?  What happens if we rethink not just the way we plan buildings, but our entire role as beings on a living planet?  These are the central questions driving Michael Pawlyn's third ...

How would it feel to wake every morning knowing that you were here to help all life to flourish? That as a species, we could still become self-conscious nodes in the web of life, to act for the good of all?

Building the roots of a world that will work - with Victoria Hurth, co-author of Beyond Profit We exist in a world where the ultra-rich are getting richer, powered by a system we call 'the economy' which is serving to funnel power and value up to an ever-shrinking core of wounded individuals wh...

And while the cases were dismissed without prejudice, the statute of limitations has passed, for Comey at least. So he theoretically can’t be charged again.

Not that Trump’s Department of Crime cares about silly things like rules and laws.

The Magic of Darkness: learning to love life in the night with author Leigh Ann Henion Do you love the dark? Do you yearn for sunset and the amber glow of a fire with the night growing deeper, more inspiring all around you? There's a world out there of sheer, unadulterated magic that is...

Do you love the dark?

Do you yearn for sunset with the night growing deeper all around you?

Our ancestors knew the world of magic that is only revealed when we put aside the lights, phones, torches and step out into the night

Trump is calling for the execution of military veterans in Congress for reminding troops to follow the law, not his orders. This is a psychotic break and a direct threat to our republic. He must be impeached now before this authoritarian fever dream destroys our democracy.

I've just got round to watching the two-part "Hitler's DNA" on Channel 4.

I hope someone squirrels away a piece of fat lad's DNA so scientists can analyse him in 80 years' time. Who will outdo who on the "propensity for psychopathy" scale?

It would be harder to find a less sympathetic case, given that her parents paid £20,000 for their house which is now worth £1.2m. Why is somebody moaning about the very existence of inheritance tax a news story?

High praise. Surely that should bring in some philanthropic support from a pro-democracy foundation.

Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025 The Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce has examined all aspects of the regulation of civil and defence nuclear and produced this review.

Extremely good stuff 👍

This kid is brilliant. Voice of a generation.

It's Boudica - or actually 'Boudega' And I truly don't know what point you're trying to make any more - so let's stop, this is beginning to feel pointlessly toxic. I was trying to make a point about moving forwards based on where we are, and clearly have failed, so let it go.

I don't speak the language, but I wrote the Boudica: Dreaming books...so I'm fairly versed with the history. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but the one thing I'd ask is that we both work with all we've got towards a genuinely 21st century Initiation Culture and not hark back to the past.

/is not remotely there. There's still feudal hierarchy. The Romans annihilated Mona, so 'came and went' is a bit of a blink in terms of what they did to the original indigenous culture: they 'came and went' in East Anglia, too, and it's taken decades to find what little life was left in their wake.

/and what its roots might be. I'd be wary of deciding that any part of mediaeval Europe was a useful basis - there's still a fundamental belief in the core paradigm of scarcity, separation and powerlessness and the sense of co-creation with the Web of Life at landscape scale (per Lila June Johnson)/

Hmmm - I think the heteropatriarchal monotheist Trauma culture was still embedded though - far more than in Ireland where a kind of matriarchal (or at least not matricidal) 'celtic christianity' survived for much longer.

Core to this is whether we want to create a 21st century Initiation Culture/
