Greetings from Hossegor, cracking 10 things this week, some of the best reading I’ve had in yonks. Prompted me to finally sign up to substack so I could leave a comment. You should put your email out as a printable pdf fanzine so I can collect them haha

According to BrewDogs' website:

"LOST FOREST

We’ve all bought things on impulse. Chewing gum. Chocolate bars. A 9,308 acre plot of land in the Scottish Highlands. Luckily it’s worked out quite well. We’re embarking on one of the largest reforestation and peatland restoration projects the UK has ever seen, with the aim of planting over 1.1m native trees to avoid significant volumes of CO2e being released into the atmosphere. As impulse purchase goes, it definitely beats a Twix."

Business decisions based on vibes. Gah.

The sweary AI rant is great too. Absolute masterclass in getting your point across while angrily using the word motherfucker.

Lovely stuff.

What the Parkwatch article fails to take into account is the people who lost their livelihood when Kinrara estate was sold to Brewdog, keepers and there families who had lived on the estate all their days given the heave-ho. A typical tale of Scottish estates where sheiks, lords and banks own the land with carbon offsetting being the new rhetoric of justification to gobble up land and drive yet more clearances in the highlands.
