The principal of Edinburgh Uni earns around £420,000 a year. This week his staff were on strike over the threat of redundancies.
It's time we got the pay of uni and college bosses back under control. MSPs can back my plans to do that on Wednesday.

It was their final,most essential command
I think we have some scarlet elf cups somewhere too.
Not sure if this is shroomy or mouldy but it is intriguing

Thanks Steve, looks like it’s a good indicator of healthy unimproved grassland, which is what we’ve been working on in the meadow.
Any idea what this is please @landethics.bsky.social ? It’s in a meadow that was cut late August. North Wales.
Governments have repeatedly failed to learn lessons about keeping their residents safe and building better social housing for their future.
The wind in the pylons and cables combined to make a weird chorus. A deep hum from the cables, the wind in the trees, and a mechanical shriek from the pylon, I assume caused by the vibrations transferring from air to metal. Captivating. (This would have been more poetic in @hookland.bsky.social )
EAT-Lancet 2.0 report is out today, updating the influential 2019 report.
On my first read it seems to bring further data/evidence to support the big solutions for food/climate/nature: 1) improve productivity & env performance of agriculture, 2) reduce food loss/waste, 3) healthy/sustainable diets.
I always thought the same about Isn’t It Amazing by the Hothouse Flowers.
Tokyo is moving in the opposite direction. In addition to the ongoing loss of private green spaces, many large, old trees are being sacrificed for profit-driven redevelopment — all while summer temperatures continue to rise dramatically.

Just FYI…the UK is in no position to match this offer.
“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”
City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.
I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero
A part, small but important, of watching women’s football was the lack of simulation and time wasting so prevalent in the men’s game. Shame that Italy and Spain are doing so much to copy the worst parts of the men’s game.
“No shops, no schools”: homes in England built without basic amenities. “Thousands of properties going up without access to playgrounds, community infrastructure & doctors.”
Some developers not fulfilling legal requirements with little consequence, others didn’t actually have to.
A planning mess.
I wonder if it ever occurs to Italy that if they hadn’t wasted so much time, the game would’ve been over before that goal.
Of all the issues associated with being convinced to do another modelling study, knowing I'll have to engage with this is the worst. If you know, you know.
No learn g survives contact with the locals. I completed Duolingo Spanish and then couldn’t understand a word when I went to Spain.
Did you see this @landethics.bsky.social ? I was wondering how well it correlates with you cool wilder places map?
