NEW: I can't get this story out of my head. And I know I'm not alone. The attempt to cover up the complicity of the UK media's role in Jason Arday's death may be its sickest move yet. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-jason-...
The Jason Arday Reckoning
The attempts to cover up the complicity of the UK media’s role in his death may be its sickest move yet

Why has the British national media not bothered to report this? They've repeated the claim that Jason Ardey running 30 marathons in 35 days was unlikely and not even checked it to stem the cynicism. www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/8350040...
College lecturer completes marathon challenge
Jason Arday completes 30 marathons in 35 days for Shelter and the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.

My uni have just withdrawn Geography, History & Geography and Politics & Geography undergrad courses run from our Penryn campus. Terrible for Cornwall. How did the staff find out? When UCAS clearing opened at 8am 😡
A mapping error from the Treaty of Paris in 1783 led Minnesota to have one of the most beautiful pieces of land in the world at the north end of Lake of the Woods. Every Minnesotan should make the trip.
FWIW, people really, REALLY Aneed to make more #geoscience/#geology shows that *aren’t* just about volcanoes 😅 But making ones that at least start to show how this subject intersects with our lives is maybe better than nothing…
Prof Chris Jackson@seismatters.bsky.social · last mo.Just got the nod this new show has finished production and will be aired later this year! 😃 I’m excited because the premise was to provide a more rounded view of volcanoes, and how they positively impact our lives 🌋 #VolcanoCountdown blueantrightsscreeningroom.com/title/volcan...
