@gnievchenko Spoke to a couple of climate startups who went to the military for pilot projects because DASA was able to move so much faster than the civil service or IUK, this was at a nature financing roundtable. If the MOD can sandbox innovation I'm all for it

@iAmJoshHunt You have to mention the average age of first time fathers whenever you mention mothers, in 2021 it was 33. This matters because it's really not just women choosing to have children later, it's also the men choosing this too.

@keatsrespecter This is the whole point of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" written over 200 years ago.

@EnergyAntonio The only person I've seen talking about how this is bad for China is an insane evangelical Christian woman on The View who thought this was a genius blow in the war against China. That demographic is absolutely terrified, like, in general. Terrified by real and perceived threats

@DanNeidle Plus what they paid on the mortgage interest and fees....

@cornishgrill @herdyshepherd1 Not per se, I'm still trying to understand the problem before I look at solutions, I feel like it's a bottleneck to regenerative farming and overlooked.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@cornishgrill @herdyshepherd1 Thank you Matt. I'm also trying to understand the challenges caused by abattoir closures, is that affecting your farm?

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@cornishgrill @herdyshepherd1 Yes, pre seed venture capital if that answers your question. Climate and earth systems thesis so includes water biodiversity etc. We don't do enough agriculture and nature for my liking so trying to change that

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@herdyshepherd1 @cornishgrill FYI there are lots of people working on this problem, I work for an investor in this area and we invest in extremely early stage startups and I'm seeing a lot of people working on this. I'm sure Jeevons Paradox will still apply, but there's a little bit of hope...

@thereisnobeth Or, the Spanish empire...

@JoshMalina Below Deck is top drama

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@strictlyxtweets The judges are getting too much, they argue too much and the skits are annoying and their shambolic entrance "dance" every week just destroys any credibility that they know what they're doing. And not enough classic ballroom dances to give elegance to balance the pop dances.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@AnEmergentI I mean it's just what I said so.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@ThickheadFinds You're so unsuccessful you can't even have your name on your account. Don't know why you think you're qualified to have an opinion on anything lol

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@antonhowes @matthewclifford My point is apart from wool, England's economy didn't grow much, sounds like you agree? I look forward to learning more in your book! We need to understand what happened so we can move forwards.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@jamieamartin1 It's just more nuanced than that, just because some people fought hard for the abolition doesn't mean a whole country and its descendents get to claim moral superiority. It means we should study what happened so we know how to do it again. Lots of evil people out there.

@Mr_Claydon Spices, silks, slaves, all made a lot of money.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@joperec Don't agree, and India, China were far beyond anything in Europe for almost all of recorded history. Persia and Egypt for other time periods too.

[Sara Jones @twinni_two]

@jackwiseman_ Your point is similar to mine but you can write an essay and I've got 140 characters. My point is that imperialism isn't everything, but no description of our past can exclude it, nor any other nation's. Only oil states in c20th got trillions without invading anywhere.

@AnEmergentI Darwin was fortunate to live in one of the richest places on earth which could support scientists. What Darwin could have existed on a Jamaican slave plantation. Or Lancaster cotton mill.
