I am so pleased I had the opportunity to provide this commentary in @dialogueshg.bsky.social about why I think that #energygeographies are so important to understanding the drivers and dynamics of #energytransitions and #energyjustice doi.org/10.1177/2043... @aag-energy.bsky.social

Share this : I don't know if anyone's aware of this? Wired tracked every visitor to Epstein Island. They uncovered the data from 200 mobile phones. The data is so precise they were able to track within centimeters and their neighborhoods. youtu.be/PjPHq-Ez0nc?...

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.

He doesn’t remember nominating Jerome Powell.

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

The Israeli state’s barbarism against Palestinians has been normalised to such an extent that this atrocity is met with barely a ripple of Western governmental concern. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

"A shift towards a globally undifferentiated and, inevitably, more superficial approach from the point of view of developing countries would reduce significantly our ability to explain the systemic differences that structure the global system." www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2102

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org
