Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.

I have written my first Substack post under duress. 🕷️ On screenwriting, sorcery, and spiders.

If I write this, maybe they'll stop haunting me.

I knew someone - probably plenty of someones - would have this take. A zillion crime shows portray the impact on a victim's family. Part of the point of Adolescence is showing the impact on the killer's family. Stunning that this goes over people's heads. Anyway, episode 4 absolutely gutted me.

I have a great idea for open heart surgery, but I just need someone to move the scalpel around. Know anyone who might be interested?

@bsky.app Since the Govt has now said it's using social media to identify folks with dissenting views, will you change your functionality to allow people to delete past comments? Otherwise their safety is at risk.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I just love this figure from @jksteinberger.bsky.social in their paper on "Discourses of Climate Delay".
You can find all the arguments of your colleagues and influencers taking the world in the wrong direction.
Perhaps we need another paper rebutting each?

On the occasion of tonight's halftime show, I remember something I said a week ago:
And remember: bullies, bastards, and tyrants hate it when you laugh.
Do something joyous and joyful every damned day, no matter how awful things get. Fuck em.
