Mind blowing manifesto from @indyjohar.bsky.social. My takeaway is we have a choice between: A future driven by the untrammelled tech advancements corporations/investors choose to fund. Or We pay attention & think about the world we’d like to live in! hardart.metalabel.com/release-nbxz...

If you're interested in post-growth economic thinking, this newly published article will be right up your street. It was a big pleasure to work on it with such a fantastic group of co-authors. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

While LLM probably shifted UX expectations towards natural language (a regression IMHO but that's another rant) I expect this approach to become standard over time. A note: CTRs and retention rates as target metrics are design smells. A tool that works *for* the user seeks effectiveness *not* usage.

Yet another paper that gets the SFF writer part of me going - the archaeological record of Mars. While humans haven't gotten there yet, we did send some stuff over, and there is a story emerging. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have published a review of Carl Ohman's, The Afterlife of Data, a concise and highly recommended book about the problematic use of our data after our demise, when privacy doesn't exist. 🧪 #AcademisSky #Privacy #Data #Preservation www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

The decline of the LSE is a symptom, not a cause, of our economic rot. We can treat the symptoms, but policymakers focus on it too much at their own detriment! Tech policy wonks should subscribe to Alex’s substack 👇 chalmermagne.substack.com/p/londons-st...

What factors matter during shocks and disasters? In my FEMA PrepTalk I argue that social capital - the ties that bind us - are critical for surviving and thriving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7A8...

Reposting this as an invite to nominate who else should be in this starterpack Have noticed there’s been a bit of gender imbalance in nominations after the initial post. Every place-based change maker 💯 welcome 🙌 … But if you are/ know an awesome women who should be on the list, extra warm welcome 😁

Exceptional conversation with @indyjohar.bsky.social Offering a crisp articulation of four critical pathways for “slingshot” societal transition

Extraordinary podcast from Sarah Wilson and progressive thinker/complex problem solution provider Indy Johar. He says out loud what others are afraid to. 10-15 years climate/societal collapse, it's underway & how we can navigate. shows.acast.com/wild-with-sa...

In this talk I will argue: *Paris Agreement always relied on overshoot *carbon removal tech was invented by economists *1.5 is gone & much more warming coming *no credible routes to reduce global temps *green transition risks complete derailment *time has run out, we need a new plan All welcome!

Last year's 0.75 cm rise was the largest year over year increase in global mean sea level during NASA's 31 year record of satellite based measurements. Viz by AJ Christensen. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5235/

The casing (white stroke) on the ’2023 and ’24 lines in this chart of Amazon River levels by @prinzmagtulis.bsky.social really help the recent record low measurements stand out from the historical data. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Weekend plug for my new personal blog. On how industries have a very long term impact, which should be paid and planned for now. If you get this right, you can keep your cooling towers and industrial heritage. If you get it wrong, it can ruin your whole town acjsissons.medium.com/externalitie...

“Ending poverty in all its forms everywhere” is at the top of the UN's development agenda. But because the UN is not measuring poverty adequately, the fight against poverty has been pushed to the sidelines. In the @nytimes.com I published my proposal for what to do. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Nippy Autumn evening with 0% of UK #electricity coming from coal. Renewables + nuclear making up 70%. Such amazing progress as a country. 💚💚💚

🎉 New Ada report: 'computer won’t do that.' We explored how clinical info systems in primary care impact transgender & non-binary adults.

Thought-provoking piece by @jwmason.bsky.social. On the natsec-green transition nexus, something I heard recently in DC seems relevant: The NDAA being the only piece of legislation guaranteed to pass Congress these days, a lot of climate action is housed in DoD. So it's a tough link to break. 1/

Evidence that entorhinal cortex and prefrontal cortex (in mice, sorry) work together to encode outcomes in associative learning: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Studying this kind of outcome monitoring is going to be critical to understand the losses at play in the brain! 🧠📈

Think I've found the most frightening image from IPCC's latest report. In Annex I of WG2 there is an world map of the percentage of species exposed to potentially dangerous climate conditions. Watching the transition from 2C warming to 4C warming is devastating. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Fundamentally it’s an urban planning & urban fiscal frameworks challenge..

@shannonmattern.bsky.social wanted to say a massive congratulations just saw an exhibition which you inspired in Finland at the museum of architecture & design on Maintenance - brilliant credit to your leadership ..

An outstanding contribution of this award-worthy piece on Musk & Mars colonization is illuminating its *political* meaning, & the political work it does as an ideal. Put simply, it's wishcasting to deploy a eugenicist "cold actuarial lifeboat logic" to our society: defector.com/neither-elon...
