I've had some amazing email exchanges where I have learned a lot from others, thought deeply before responding, where I felt able to be authentic... Meetings can be great, often not. Emails are the modern version of writing a letter. Less encumbered by needing to please someone in the moment. 👇

interesting, here’s @evanedinger.bsky.social’s follow up video responding to rather predictable comments he got from US residents after his first video. He covers a lot of ground, but predictably for me the most interesting is that a lot of people really don’t understand how car dependency works.

WATCH: Do you have to move away from the United States in order to get a clear picture of the United States? @evanedinger.bsky.social covers the reasons he couldn’t move back to the U.S. from Europe now. Hint: #3 is about walkable cities & car dependency, but all are worth seriously thinking about.

The scariest thing about Halloween? The plastic waste! 🎃 Help protect the health of our planet by going plastic-free this Halloween.

For the avoidance of any doubt: TRUMP CONFIRMS HE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE GENOCIDE: 'Bibi Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never even heard of, but we got them here didn’t we? You used them very well" (the 'ceasefire' press conference 13/10/25). Also :

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat. Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this. www.afr.com//policy/ener...

I find myself feeling so much anger towards soldiers who treat unarmed citizens including children with brutality. BUT It will never stop until the rich and powerful men who organise oppression of ordinary people are held accountable for their actions.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

A common criticism of global warming is: “It’s only a few degrees”. It may not sound like much but consider this… Compare Earth’s escalating warmth to your body’s fever. Now all of a sudden a few degrees is the difference between life and death! Follow along for more… 1/

A proposal to roll back the EU corporate sustainability rules sailed through a European Parliament committee vote on Monday – a clear win for the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), and a setback for the EU’s Green Deal agenda.

Alan Shearer and Michael Caine join calls for PM to ban smacking news.sky.com/story/alan-s...

This scandal is not really a climate policy problem. It is a standards and enforcement problem, a deep-seated skills problem, and a cultural problem within a building industry that has spent decades failing to get a proper grip on cowboy operators.

'rainfall has dropped by nearly 70%, crippling 75% of Syria's rain-fed farmland "This is the difference between families being able to stay in their communities or being forced to migrate... For rural families, it means the collapse of their livelihoods"' #Syria 🇸🇾 #ClimateEmergency

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Microplastics are released from plastic when exposed to heat, including leaching from tea bags into hot tea and plastic containers releasing nanoplastics when microwaved. While health effects are still unclear, minimizing heating plastic is a simple way to reduce exposure.

160 scientists, 23 countries, 1 report: The Global Tipping Points Report 2025, together with @exeter.ac.uk, highlights mounting risks across Earth’s systems, from melting glaciers & ice fields to slowing ocean currents, ice sheets & rainforests under pressure. Watch now👇 👉global-tipping-points.org

OK, let's understand a few things: 1) Antifa is not a real organization. It's simply an acronym, a philosophy - it means anti-fascist. 2) And what ICE is doing to innocent people and families on our streets every day is absolutely fascism. #ResistTrump

I know the current UKLabour govt is a travesty run by Machiavellian factionalists and it would be great to have @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the #UKGreen party in govt BUT this is still true and an even bigger problem 👇

Wow. Keir Starmer's goons conned their way to power. But now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Sanity says: “if there is a risk that the AMOC is weakening and heading towards a tipping point, we need to act on that (just like with other major risks). This is not an issue where we can afford to wait until we are certain, or pretend it’s just an academic discussion without major consequences.”

"Geoengineering is inevitable; we better start preparing for it" and "AI is inevitable, we better start preparing for it" seem to both have extremely similar vibes. In both cases, it *does not matter* whether something is inevitable. What matters is how its controlled, minimised and regulated

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN. It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes. Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice. Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

Thousands of riders streamed onto the street as federal troops held long guns on the roof above, police officers on bikes looked over their shoulders nervously while holding back crowds on the sidewalk, and a brass band played what felt like a hero's march. bikeportland.org/2025/10/13/p...

Man, I miss when the forces of bullshit and fabrication were one single evil external, like the climate denial lobby of the 2010s. Right now it feels like lies are seeping up from the floorboards, infecting everyone regardless of ideology, education, or any demographics
