Lots of people are going beserk about our film #ApocalypseCow, before they've seen it, or know what it contains. My suggestion: watch first, hate later.
10pm, Wednesday 8th January, Channel 4.
Some people also seem to have peculiar ideas of what constitutes an argument. This is not one:

It's official: those of us who care about the living planet and the future of humanity are extremists, and should be reported to Prevent.
Those who couldn't give a shit about other people and the rest of life on Earth are, of course, moderates.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…
Throughout my life, the police have been trying to classify non-violent protesters striving for a better world as extremists or terrorists.
But if it were not for non-violent protest, there would be no votes, no rights, no justice, no democracy.
So who are the extremists?
I urge all those who care about the future of life on Earth to report themselves to Prevent, and request that they be brainwashed into the consumer stupor that defines a good citizen.

As expected, I was booed to the rafters at the #ORFC2020 (Oxford Real Farming Conference) yesterday. But I felt it was my duty to turn up and explain what I believe climate breakdown will do to farming, and why #farmfree foods are likely to be essential.
I've spent my working life telling people what they don't want to hear, so I'm accustomed to receptions like this. But I don't think shooting the messenger is going to help farmers understand and face what is coming.
In fairness, there was also a good amount of applause, and some people were definitely receptive. I'm grateful to the @ORFC for inviting me to speak.

So many lessons to draw from #GE2109 for anyone working in org change ...
I’m hearing many people saying that Labour manifesto policies were popular, presumably in focus groups. But having policies even good policies, written down wasn’t enough ...
Novel, radical policies don’t sell themselves, and people don’t read documents, they don’t seek out info, especially in complex situations, and even if they do, exposure to alternative arguments reinforces prior beliefs, this is well known ...

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.
