Joe Harkness RIP

The elusive Cetti's Warbler. I seek them here and there, but rarely getting a chance to photograph them. This morning, Marbury Big Mere. @MarburyBirds

Apparently, Ed Sheeran has become very popular with the far right.

Whilst I would do this locally to start with. If it was successful I could do this further afield. I'm very experienced doing this for wildlife and photography guided walks. Here, I am talking more for activists, concerned people, to learn about ecology and how ecosystems function. This would be hands on and firsthand experience, not classroom stuff. I have done this ad hoc for a long time, so I know how to do it.

My real forte, is actually explaining ecology to people in the field i.e. out in nature, with me using nature as my stage. I'm just feeling this out. Would anyone be interested in spending the day with me out in some natural habitat, with me talking about ecology, and how little we know about it, and why? No fees, just an informal meeting with a group of like-minded people. I usually have been praised for the guided walks I do.

Could AI save us (tongue in cheek) Task: Stop Global Warming Problem: Billionaires Solution: Remove Problem This is assuming that AI is more intelligent than TV journalists. youtu.be/edzlXSd6IWE

This is not a facetious comment or wishful thinking. I don't know when it will happen, only that it will, and the 2030 date is just to tie it in with the AI nonsense. However, if billionaires continue to drive us to climate and ecologically induced civilization collapse, they will cease to be billionaires. Great monetary wealth, only exists in the context of the present system. If it collapses, there will be no money, title, ownership, in the present sense. As that exists, because of present governments, financial systems, regulatory frameworks etc. Billionaires could retreat into their well stocked bunkers protected by their private army. However, if somehow they manage to avoid their private army simply taking everything they have, there would be billions of starving people seeking food, supplies, and seeking revenge on those who caused this catastrophe. Why they expect to somehow be a powerful person without this regulatory framework, is delusion. Actually, the biggest danger to billionaires, wouldn't be environmentalists seeking revenge, because they would be the least surprised by what happens. Their biggest threat, would be the hordes of those who supported the far right, the billionaires sponsored. You know, the ones that billionaires told, empathy is weakness, and compassion makes you woke. You see, if we manage to avoid collapse with radical system change and create a sustainable system. There will be no space for billionaires in that. It doesn't mean all individuals who were billionaires, will all cease to exist, merely that they will no longer be billionaires.

As a side note to AI idiocy. I estimate that there is a 99.7% probability of all billionaires having become extinct by 2030.

At last, I saw a Clouded Yellow Butterfly. It was a beautiful specimen, but very uncooperative, resting in places impossible to get a good photo. Eventually it went and sat in the middle of a big patch of Brambles. Prees Heath. @CornerForNature @MarburyBirds

"Christopher Harborne matches £36m Reform donation of Ben Zelo" Billionazis theguardian.com/politics/202…

"Reform UK given record £36m donation by British crypto billionaire" What I want to know, is how much did Andy Burnham get for refusing to cap donations? theguardian.com/politics/202…

"used by the Israeli military in Gaza, including AI-based systems built to identify large numbers of potential low-ranking Hamas targets, who were then bombed in their homes at night, in the knowledge attacks would also kill their families." 'Low ranking Hamas targets', does not necessarily mean Hamas fighters. As Hamas is the controlling authority, so any simple municipal worker, is by definition part of Hamas. This is calculating genocide. theguardian.com/world/2026/s…

This is exactly right. It is not AI or climate change that is going to kill us, but billionaires, big corporations and the politicians in their pockets, refusing to address the problems they have created, and trying to carry on with business as usual.
