At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.

AI Analysis Reveals Corporates' Extreme Weather Costs, UK Warns of Biodiversity Loss Threat to National Security, Canada's 'Adaptech' Market, and More

hate to see Bezos run the Post into the ground. but you can support billionaire free DC News: @51st.news @streetsensedc.bsky.social @washingtoninformer.com @wcp.bsky.social @ethiopique202.bsky.social

The idea that the British Raj respected the rule of law is legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever read in my entire life

The UN’s New Adaptation Metrics Need Eyes in the Sky

"Collective investments in resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortress. Shared standards reduce fragmentation. Complementarities are positive sum." Lessons for geopolitics, lessons for responding to climate change, here: paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney...

Delivering a keynote on geospatial risk and climate adaptation later this week, and just added a “The World’s Gone Mad And I’m Sorry This Speech Isn’t About Greenland’ topper. Worried all I have to say is completely irrelevant to the times. Ah well, nevertheless.

what I really like about the way he frames this speech is that he doesn't naively describe the old international order as one without inequities or with wholly fair application of the rule of law, but as one where the gains were worth accepting those gaps

A symbolic move, certainly. But symbols have power www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wow... Writing this paper was a bit like watching a soap opera unfold. But it's out now in @bjpir.bsky.social The big story is still: The ECB marched forward, with clear democratic authorisation, but not the Fed. Green central banking is much more democratic than people think.

California’s insurer-of-last-resort has just pulled off a Wall Street first. In December, the state’s FAIR Plan Association locked in US$750mn of reinsurance protection through a catastrophe bond. But critics say the insurance pool missed a trick. www.climateproof.news/p/is-califor...

@climateproof.news is back from the festive break with a chock-full edition on all the climate adaptation finance, tech, and policy goings on from the last couple of weeks. Check it out here: www.climateproof.news/p/2025-s-ext...

this places rules and if you're too afraid to visit that's between you and your tiny baby brain

People will say “indie media subscriptions are unsustainable.” You know what’s unsustainable? Netflix buying all of Hollywood. Healthcare costing a mortgage payment. Rental markets forcing people out of their homes. Giving indie media a few bucks a month so it continues to exist? That’s freedom.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

How is Adaptation Finance Faring Post-USAID?

And I thought *I* was having a tough day....

they're saying there's a spectre haunting europe and it's very nice, we're looking into it strongly, it's beautiful, we love it and we think it means well

Pretty crazy to see Wall Street just coast on vibes. No real government jobs data, no objective measurements, just headlines about everything costing more than they’ve ever cost and every small business being shuttered

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

I'm so bored of seeing Bill Gates face on every climate-related story from the last two weeks. That's it, that's the post

What are 50 of the world's top banks saying about climate adaptation? Which lenders are taking climate shocks seriously? And which are keeping their mouths shut? 🏦Find out with @climateproof.news Global Bank Climate Adaptation Assessment 2025: www.climateproof.news/p/are-banks-...

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

lol. lmao.

Certainly, this is a serious election with serious consequences, but this endorsement is also so, so funny www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Evergreen sentiment here from the one and only Matt Levine

Oh look, San Diego beat NYC to the punch on socialist grocery stores.

It's past time we Millenials inherited the Earth.

ok if Zohran upends the standard age curve of vote propensity in a second consecutive election we're gonna have to start talking about something happening here

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

The man is cruel and deranged and the media is falling over itself to hide this from view www.allyourscreens.com/latest-news/...

"The government is closed. The President is MIA." My question: why should I pay federal taxes?

🇬🇧 A UK financial regulatory and business forum just dropped a blueprint for embedding climate resilience in finance. From sovereign risk to new products, here's what to watch:

Doesn't this, for all intents and purposes, turn the US Army into, um, a mercenary force? Because it's being paid for by "some guy"? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

In his foreign policy, Trump launches illegal attacks, murders people, and starts pointless and destructive trade wars. Is that what Douthat wants at home? Because he’s already getting it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Trump is exercising more power for a fake emergency than Lincoln did for a real one.
