I've been meaning to recommend this tv series to people. Pro Bono is an immensely entertaining Korean courtroom drama with plenty of humour and heart. Sometimes it leaves the West panting in the dust when it comes to tough issues. I was blown away by the conclusion of the episodes to do with an immigration case. You can see this in English on Netflix.

Incase anyone is interested in the Biochar burn I did the other day here’s how it worked for me (I was not sure what to expect- so feel like it might help others)
I used a biochar kiln, with an inner & outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has holes at the bottom and very top only.
The fuel was riddled woodchip (to stop too small particles blocking airflow)
1 You can see the gasses coming through the top airholes & burning off.
2 flames go pale/invisible
3 quenched char
The biochar will help aerate the soil, add microbiology help with water retention and make a long term store of inert carbon.
The biochar burn stores more carbon than is burnt off, making it a net carbon store despite the fire.
We get woodchip as a waste product from the local tree surgeon.
I also managed to get some willow offcuts from a local basket weaver’s class & will try those next. They will also try making biochar with the rest of their offcuts.
❝ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.❞
Read that. Reread that. Internalize it. Map that back to every story you’ve heard of ICE agents going off the rails, every random kidnapping, every brutal and stupid ICE story.

You know the classic story of the foolish employer who paid software developers per bug fixed? If you haven’t, you can guess the outcome: program called off when one developer “fixed“ hundreds of bugs in a single day (that they’d intentionally introduced).
This is just like that, except not like it at all: the “fake bugs” — ICE agents abducting random people to make a buck — are the •intended• effect.

How far back in time can you understand English?
It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.
"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

There's been little acknowledgement but Susan George (political scientist as Wikipedia have it, or political economist, as I would prefer) passed on 14th February. I've seen no obituaries, but here is her Wikipedia entry which included the long list of her excellent & insightful books... many of which were always on my reading lists
I'm sure the lack of obits has nothing to do with her being a women or a critique of global capitalism. /s
