A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

African officials express concern that the nuclear armed, ethnically volatile former British colony is sleepwalking towards a human rights disaster. #NewsIfUSAWasAForeignCountry

We’ve reached the point where “did the foreign dignitary pay proper obeisance to the Mad Emperor?” is apparently a perfectly fine basis for U.S. foreign policy.

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

if you want to know where we are in Western climate politics, the Bank of England, one of the few central banks with an environmental mandate, has just published its 2025-2028 research agenda and there isnt a single word on climate www.bankofengland.co.uk/research/ban...

Family photo of our @hpe-project.bsky.social workshop, an incredible time all around, more info about the grantee’s research here www.hpeproject.org/grantees

Incredible first day of presentations at this year's HPE grantee conference. We kicked things off with Asensio Robles, @atrasi.bsky.social, Eric Helleiner, and Jamie Martin discussing the role of private banks in Spain's democratization, and neoliberalism in Thailand's "sufficiency economy"

So excited to present as one of the Summer 2024 grantees! The whole two days look unbelievably interesting - grab those spots to attend while you can!!
