Ecosystems mediate climate impacts on northern hemisphere seabirds - Communications Earth & Environment

Diet diversity across northern hemisphere ecosystems affects seabird responses to climate change, with breeding productivity declining in the Arctic and North Atlantic but not in the Pacific from 1993 to 2019, based on 138 time series of breeding success and linear mixed effects models.

The International Federation of Journalists, founded in 1926 and celebrating its centenary in Paris in May 2026, has recorded no comparable death toll since its formation, neither during the second world war, nor in Vietnam, Korea, Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq.

If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war

The Art of the Impersonal Essay, by Zadie Smith

In my experience, every kind of writing requires some kind of self-soothing Jedi mind trick, and, when it comes to essay composition, the rectangle is mine.

I woke up early and grumpy, so I decided to go for a walk while listening to a random podcast. I love Zadie Smith: this podcast made me laugh so much that a woman asked me what was so funny. The cure for the right “words” described in this episode is wonderful 📚

Non è facile andare avanti con la propria vita: tutto il resto perde senso. Le mie lotte, le mie convinzioni, diventano piccole davanti a ciò che accade a Gaza.

È il momento di mobilitarsi. Restare in silenzio é assenso.
