Matthew Jee - The Irreverent Buddhist
We need a revolution. That's it. That's my take. A peaceful revolution, before rich white f*cks kill this earth. Climate inaction is murder. Peace to ALL people.
It's OK to disagree, it's not OK to be disagreeable.

- Our "financial" predicament summed up in one photograph. As @garyseconomics.bsky.social says, "sell everything to the wealthy, then rent it back, can't be the basis upon which you build an economy". Seen on my mindful meandering in Bristol.
- My story about Europe's largest steel firm backtracking on its climate commitments has received ... 281 views in total.
- 📢NEW: "It’s bad leadership." Steel giant ArcelorMittal has a carbon footprint the size of Belgium, yet has decided to slow down on decarbonization. I talked to @steelwatch.bsky.social CEO Caroline Ashley about the firm's behaviour.
- Is that unusually low Dave? It seems low.
- I also discuss the bizarre and disturbing association between the Starmer government and former special advisers to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. I vaguely remember being told something about "Change". But this continuity is beyond our worst nightmares. Not just Tory policies, but actual Tories.
- *Copy one of Boris Johnson's stupidest and most self-destructive policies. *Ignore the massive wave of public fury it ignited. *Smear and attack anyone warning that it might not be a great idea. In this week's column I ask what the hell Keir Starmer is playing at. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- The mendacity of these neoliberal power seekers is shocking.
- If this is the peak, say goodbye to all of the "but China" excuses for inaction.

- This is why I use the Duckduckgo browser as my daily driver: it deals with 99% of cookie popups for you - rejecting cookies, and will trash them all at the end of each session. This hugely reduces the profile advertisers can build on you, as well as just being a nicer browsing experience.
- "Observations from space of the energy imbalance shows that it is rising much faster than expected, and in 2023 it reached values two times higher than the best estimate from IPCC." 😬 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
- In line with Hansen's understanding. Oops.
- As immigration figures fall the Government has a golden opportunity to generate an honest conversation about immigration Instead it made these “disgraceful” remarks due to their dishonesty “They are damaging in part because they validate the rhetoric & dishonesty of both Reform & the Conservatives”
- New post: Starmer’s Disgraceful and Damaging Remarks mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/05/star... As with austerity in the 2010s, if none of the main parties can be honest about immigration then the public debate will be equally dishonest.

- Boys and young men are struggling — in their educational achievement, mental health and transitions to adulthood — even as their female peers surge ahead. Here's what data shows.

- You're welcome - and thanks, I really appreciate it when people own their prejudiced, incorrect opinions. It shows maturity.
- I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
- Bloody foreigners, coming over here, educating our youth and paying our taxes. /s
- Trump is getting a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 as a ‘gift’ from Qatar’s royal family, ABC reports. The plane is described as a “flying palace” and will be used as Airforce One and then transferred to Trump. It’s the biggest foreign ‘gift’ ever and apparently doesn’t break bribery laws.
