The death knell for nudging?

“When this publication bias is appropriately corrected for, no evidence for the effectiveness of nudges remain.”

Entomological field work in July makes me so frustrated. Many nature reserves mown down to the bottom. Nothing left for insects. No-one ever studied insect mortality due to drying out after mowing.
Our conservation must become more integrative with more entomologists being heard.

Dear god this letter written by Jacques de Kadt in 1948 denouncing the Dutch war against Indonesian independence is so spot on and still applies today in so many ways

Mooizo, weg met deze “gewasbeschermingsmiddelen” in de openbare ruimte. Sowieso is daar geen “gewas te beschermen”, dus dan is gif gewoon een beter woord.

En dat is dus nu weer verboden buiten de landbouw - gelukkig👏🏻

The obsession of the capitalist class with "innovation" sits awkwardly alongside their insistence that "there is no alternative".

We are allowed to imagine new gadgets but not a just economy.

Minor detail, maar dat Hitler een socialist zou zijn is geen extreemrechtse theorie. Het is een neoliberaal stokpaardje. Friedrich Hayek populariseerde dit idee in zijn klassieker The Road to Serfdom. Fascisme en sociaaldemocratie waren 'rivaliserende socialistische groeperingen'

I *love* audiobooks. When I was a high-school-aged page at a public library in the 1980s, I would pass endless hours shelving and repairing books while listening to "books on tape" from the library's collection. 1/

1. The world's extinction experts say mass extinction is here and may be complete by 2200 (the scientific community has reached a consensus on this), accepting the fundamental elements of capitalism are what need changing, calling for the 'abolition of perpetual economic growth'.

The crazy thing about white readers not reading about POC because they “can’t relate” is that readers of color spend their lives not relating to *anything* we read and yet we keep enjoying books anyway
