I know it's stupid electioneering and will never happen, but this has really would me up. How dare this bunch of clowns who've spent the last few years destroying everything turn around and insist that kids are the ones not displaying adequate civic responsibility?

Billions of people are currently surviving in temperatures between 45 and 50C. This is "only" at a 1.5C global increase. At 2C, these regions will become unbearable for long periods of the year. The lack of a coherent plan for this is shocking. #Mitigation is urgent.

What do you say when someone makes it clear they think the violence, racism and Islamaphobia we’re seeing on our streets might be justified? Such a great piece by my colleague Claire on why and how we need to have that courageous conversation larger.us/ideas/how-to-t…

So enjoyed this conversation!

The bit I most enjoy is that Elon now appears to be dressing up as Emperor Commodus from Gladiator in his profile photo, just to really underline the point

So fascinating (and hopeful!) to sit down with Imran Ahmed from Center for Countering Digital Hate to talk about social media's role in the far right riots and what we need to do about it, as the first edition in a new series of the Larger Us Podcast buzzsprout.com/1738464/155711…
