Dear friends. I have decided to leave Twitter X. I am disgusted by the pro Israeli and extreme right wing stance that Elon Musk has decided very openly to adopt. He is not capable of, or able to maintain the neutrality that any great leader whether in business, politically, or in kingship must possess and abide by. In short, he is an immoral man who has failed to adopt the free and open global network that the internet was designed to promote. In fact, he has shown the world how greed, megalomania, and the worst of capitalist ideals perverts the better path and future each of us deserves and are working towards. Please, send this far and wide, leave the network as well and make a clear statement of truth, independence and the right for free speech with me. Let’s act together and now. This is not just about Musk, it is about all authoritarian leaders with malign agendas worldwide. Thank you and good night. Jonathan Tod 🌹🌹🌹

Simply address the cause of desertification - explained in this TED Talk bit.ly/1gm0HIZ and also in this short talk at COP26 youtube.com/watch?v=Pu1ZxG-j… The USDA has known about all this since 1983 when far-sighted people in the old Soil Conservation Service commissioned me to train 2,000 fellow scientists who helped me develop a way to solve the problem.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT Got your attention? Good We’ve decided that what we’re doing now is uneconomical. In a time of economic turmoil & wage stagnation. My only option is to sell my stock at the end of this year, go freelance farm contracting, & work as many hours as I can

Consumers of the industrial food system pay their food bill 3 times: 1st at the checkout, 2nd in taxes that subsidize commodity crop production, and 3rd in medical costs related to the consequences of industrial commodity-based agriculture.

An awesome thread
The essential role soil microorganisms play in agricultural has been documented since at least the 1800s In the last 200 years, we’ve made little progress in our understanding and practical application of soil life to farming systems That is until about ten years ago…

Thatcher govt's economic policies were the same as Liz Truss 1 Cut taxes to push up inflation 2 This justifies rate rises to reduce inflation Both policies raise earnings for the top Hence, it's NOT about economics it's about ideology to serve their rich donors & members

...drives the movement of energy and heat. Let's invest in restoring ecosystems rather than technological fools errands. Once we look at climate through the lens of "how does the Earth manage heat?" everything shifts. Thx for listening.

Inviting @npr @lesommer to look beyond tech climate solutions like "burying" CO2 at huge cost. We can return carbon to soil and biomass, thus enhancing biodiversity, food security, nutrient cycling and water cycle function. The water cycle...

Several foods relatively rich in SFAs, such as whole-fat dairy, dark chocolate, and unprocessed meat, are not associated with increased CVD or diabetes risk. jacc.org/doi/abs/10.1016/j.j…

I hope I’m not too needy, but if you retweet this, you’ll greatly annoy the soon-to-be Lord Dacre of the Daily Mail. #edfringe
Two rags I worked for - the Mail and the Telegraph - refused to review @BDWplay in London. The Mail sent legal letters. London didn’t, however, give a toss and we had to extend our run due to demand. Will #EdFringe be willing to give us a chance, too?
