nostr:npub1jat5xragg9d4c0squ0akj9s3nt3htjlqkr6ygjg6rtvnh4j7fxvqf8jh4n And the people who say 'the market' will solve things don't even apply that principle when it doesn't suit them, e.g. surely if people don't like a private bank refusing to do business with people because of their politics, surely THE MARKET means they can take their business elsewhere? Oh, no, we'll get the CEO sacked and legislate instead.

But at the same time the news media hasn't digested this news and taken it onboard like it does with other news facts. So we get isolated coverage of disasters as events, but then a ringfenced coverage of everything else where normality prevails.

My phone is about ten years old, I never buy clothes for myself, my TV was a cast-off, my Hi-Fi I picked up off the street, I don't own my own laptop, I have taken one flight in 10 years, and yet I feel it's all my fault. And there's nothing I can do about it.
...also sometimes it feels like I'm being told IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. I don't sleep well anyway, now I am having nightmares when I do sleep about the end of the world.
Feels like I'm seeing a lot of posts complaining the news media aren't covering the climate crisis, and lambasting them for covering any other story. I don't know what news media they consume, but everything I watch, read and listen to seems to have a climate story at or near the top at the moment...
Trying and failing to find something on Google Maps, I found this instead. 'If you know, you know' as they say...

Dumped on the side of the main road. 'Which one are you going to watch FIRST?'

'Rumpole and the Show Folk' is an odd episode, but a very enjoyable one. Set in a generic town in the north west, exteriors possibly filmed in Greater Manchester from the colour of the buses, this sees Rumpole defending an actress (Eleanor Bron) accused of murdering her actor husband in the dressing room of a provincial theatre. John Wells does an entertaining turn as the manager of the company, but it's Bron who steals the show, having remained largely mute for the first act.
