Patrick HarvieIt's that wearying time of year when we try to take heart from small positives from another #COP, despite longstanding failures.
We do need a global platform for #climate action.
But it moves at the pace of the slowest, not the pace the science demands.
There's a new fund for loss & damage.
But the fund is empty, while the countries responsible keep creating more loss & damage by refusing to end #fossilfuel.
With each year's failure, the task gets harder.

The COP 27 conference has been yet another failure, according to the Scottish Greens.

One of the neat tricks of Darnielle's songwriting is that it asks you to internalise a lot of oblique structures - action movie set-ups, biblical riffs, ongoing character studies and biographical fragments. This makes it easier for the terminally conflicted to access the feelings of in this case a revenge fantasy when it's blasting out all around them because they've already done the work of worrying it through.
Great Mountain Goats show in Manchester a couple of nights back. I really wasn't prepared for 'Dark In Here' to hit so hard when they played it second.
@patrickharvie @rightsandroses An excellent result, hard work and a good candidate go a long way!
K. BriggsI got asked a few times at Thought Bubble - what kind of adaptation will it be? How much of Shakespeare’s text are you using?
All of it! It’s a full adaptation, every line of the Scottish Play is in there and it’s 180 pages of full color fury.
Last chance to back the Kickstarter and preorder a copy! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/averyhillpublishing/avery-hill-publishing-spring-2023-line #comics #shakespeare
