A global analysis of crop yields suggests that each degree Celsius of warming by 2100 will reduce the food available per person by about 121 kilocalories per day. Under a 3°C warming scenario “that works out to giving up breakfast for everyone”, says Andrew Hultgren. 🧪

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Even though everyone think we do it all the time, journalists would regard it as a major scandal if someone was found to be making up anonymous quotes. When you see "one insider said" or "a veteran backbencher" or similar…someone has actually said it.

Terry Moran waited until a few days before he was about to be let go anyway to finally “tell the truth” about Stephen Miller to spring-launch his Substack, as it would look like he’d been fired for it. Breathtaking cynicism, but it’s working: he’s being celebrated everywhere by the #resistance.

For non-UK readers it's woth adding some context: if you are British, it is physically impossible to not help pick up smeone else's papers if they drop them. See also: the compulsion to say, "Sorry!" even when someone else has bumped into you.

Orderly process matters, especially on sensitive issues. There's nothing inconsistent between: "I will not order X, undermining a report that is weeks away, just because you shout a lot to score political points," and "I will order X now that the report has recommended it".

For Boris Johnson I guess Father's Day is like Valentine's Day was for me as a teenager. I never got anywhere near as many cards as I hoped I would - and the ones I did get - I had no idea who they were from.

There’s a genre of autobiography which reads: “It was 1962. I was 24 & had jst purchased my first house in St John’s Wood. Thinking I’d better earn a bit of cash, I wrote to the BBC &was invited to meet the head of drama. The following week I was offered a 13 part series- v reluctantly I might add!”

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody. The Standard told them "no." "...we believe that censoring images from this news event would set a harmful precedent for the media’s right to report and the public’s right to know."

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?
