This is a tragedy, and reminds me of a problem faced in journalism where fewer and fewer reporters actually physically go places far from home to observe things.

Extremely niche surfer take, but for Surfer Magazine to run an article about the coming El Niño that doesn't salivate over the potential for monster surf but instead focuses almost entirely on risk to human life feels like a significant inflection point.

When you've got Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton and Jeff Goldblum lined up to star in a quirky film, and you're looking for a Director.

I assume it tells us something profound about the UK public – and the Westminster bubble – that not a single one of the BBC's most-read articles at the moment are anything to do with Starmer and Labour

My @opinion.bloomberg.com colleague @lararhiannon.bsky.social wrote a great piece on David Attenborough, 100 today. Attenborough embodies the good a life spent in the media can accomplish and as Williams points out: There will never be another David Attenborough www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Human-wildlife conflict is one of the biggest threats to African nature, but people like Moreangels Mbizah are finding solutions.

No, solar panels aren't constantly oozing toxins. These and other myths the fossil-fuel industry would like you to believe about solar are easily debunked. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I'm a big cat believer ever since a half-eaten sheep carcass appeared on my brother-in-law's land and then slowly got dragged away up the side of a mountain. probably a fox but i choose to believe in welsh panthers

A very British tradition this - the right to see a big cat, in the dark, on a cold winter's evening, not take a photograph, and claim it was an escaped jaguar is a firm right for all Godfearing Englishmen. It's probably in Magna Carta or something.

The neatest element of Artemis II is its figure-eight trajectory, which means Orion is falling with style back home. This is so elegant it gives nerds like me goosebumps. It’s also really efficient, saving NASA the need to use a bunch of rocket fuel www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...
