  1. ‘As the country swelters through the fifth heatwave of the year, with three quarters of England in drought, wildfires raging and farmers facing the worst food security crisis in decades, it beggars belief that the principal response from a COBRa meeting, chaired by the Prime Minister himself, has been nothing more than a polite request for shops to consider withdrawing disposable barbecues.’

  3. Latest:
    ‘Speaking after a meeting of the government’s #Cobra meeting, #Burnham refused to say if the summer had made the case against renewed drilling in the #NorthSea, which his government is considering.

    “It is really important that we deal today with the situation that we are in right now and we focus on making sure that we have the serious incidents under control across the country, and those incidents are under control.

    The bigger questions obviously will come at the right moment in time”

  5. Ok, so with all the solar eclipse excitement yesterday did I miss anything about the outcome of the #Cobra meeting?

    Is #Burnham still only saying he ‘might’ ban disposable BBQs?

    Nothing else on #ClimateAdaptation , funding to reduce #ExcessHeat in homes, schools, hospitals, workplaces or how the government can best support our wildly over stretched emergency services during #Heatwaves ?

  9. And yet here we are, August 12th and finally UKGOV is acknowledging there is a serious problem

    Reminds one of COVID, doesn't it?

    Will we be clapping for (underpaid and understaffed) Firefighters now?

  15. A COBRA meeting

    theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a

    Maybe Burnham will be having a quick read of the report ‘suggesting’ the threat to security - yes security of climate change might be on the agenda as well? I doubt it, too busy ignoring mitigation and working out how to expand North Sea fossil fuel extraction

  17. CW: Food, non vegan, cursed (at least by Western standards)

    One of my "relatives" in #Sarawak #Malaysia (an auntie who is close to our family but not actually a blood relative) had "sup ular tempoyak" yesterday ( #snake soup with fermented #durian condiment )

    At least one #python went into the soup, which can contain other species such as Indo-Chinese ratsnake and even the #cobra

    It might taste better than it sounds, but I thought it was discouraged to eat the sneks (they are becoming rarer in some areas!) - although this auntie was visiting #OrangAsli folk as part of World Indigenous People's Day, they seem to be allowed to eat a few snakes (the rest which get too near to where humans live are caught alive by the Fire Brigade and released elsewhere)

  24. Illwind – The Unfolding at the End of Light Review By ClarkKent

    Sometimes a new band starts up and chooses a godawful name—like Illwind. I’m not just referring to associations with flatulence either—though that certainly doesn’t help. It’s just a difficult name to research, especially for a band with such a small web presence. Google will direct you to the Radiohead song, “Ill Wind,” or a 1960s psychedelic band from Boston called Ill Wind, among other surprisingly numerous use cases for the term “ill wind.” In fact, I began to have some doubts the band was real, but further research shows they do have a label (Personal Records) as well as a list of band members who have a history in Peruvian bands like Arcada, Argul, and Cobra.1 Having established this as a legitimate act with some experienced musicians, the final piece of the puzzle to solve is whether Illwind’s debut album, The Unfolding at the End of Light, is any good.

    Illwind is a stoner doom outfit that creatively blends genres in some pretty groovy ways. Epic opener “Crimson Skies” gives you the first hint that things aren’t what they seem on the surface. After the song opens with the slow, plodding pace of funeral doom, vocalist Marcos Coifman’s baritone upends expectations by calling to mind the epic tones of Sorcerer and Visigoth. The funeral doom transforms into classic stoner doom with hints of Black Sabbath before ending on a series of elaborate guitar solos that have the spirit of ’70s rock acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the psychedelia of Pink Floyd and Blood Incantation. That The Unfolding at the End of Light ends on a cover by The Stooges, “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” tells us that Illwind doesn’t exactly have modernity in mind, and yet what they have crafted sounds fresh and sometimes exciting.

    At heart, this is a work of stoner doom, with a plodding, relaxed pace and enough reverb on the guitar to give off the genre’s usual chill vibes. Illwind aims for exploration, falling securely in the school of Windhand, YOB, and Black Sabbath. They’re in no hurry, but they also don’t hold back the hooks. The guitars from Mauricio Guerrero hit all the right notes, providing distinctive stoner riffs from one song to another. And just when the tracks are about to hit their quota of stoner, he and fellow guitarist Andrés Rhor get creative with solos that transport you to another time and place like Bill and Ted stepping into a magic phone booth. It’s no hallucination if you see their solos come to life—they breathe and grow and take over a tune in a way that can be exhilarating.

    How much you enjoy this depends on your level of tolerance of the stoner doom genre itself. Illwind are at their best when they go off the stoner script. The main issue is their stoner stuff can be a bit generic. This is especially true of some of the longer songs, like “God of Sleep” and the thirteen-minute “Lucifer’s Mule,” which grow repetitive. It works best in smaller doses: “Portal” and “Wanderer,” both around five minutes, provide the perfect amount of stoner riffs before breaking into the classic-sounding solos. Coifman’s voice, similarly, is good in doses, but over time his monotonous delivery adds to a feeling of stagnancy. Admittedly, though, when he opens up “Lucifer’s Mule” by singing “Tell me Lucifer” in his best impression of Ozzy, it’s a highlight of the record.

    The Unfolding at the End of Light proves a good debut for a band whose members have experience in a mix of genres, from black metal to heavy metal to stoner doom. As innovative as Illwind proves to be in blending several old school genres, they’re not quite so innovative in their base genre of stoner doom. They write and play some good stuff, and with some refined songwriting, they could perfect their blend of genres or even give their stoner riffs a little more pizzazz. In the end, though, I think Illwind achieve success. This is a chill record with some outstanding moments that will have you stop and just say, “Whoa.”
