Sportswashing is when companies use sport to distract from the harm they cause. Big Soda has mastered it —using beloved teams and athletes to sell unhealthy products. We’ve had enough. It’s time to end the manipulation. #KickBigSodaOutOfSport

“The ocean is one of our greatest allies in the fight against the climate crisis. To argue for using deep-sea mining to solve the climate crisis is like smoking to lower your stress.”

NEW: 3 in 5 Brits would support sanctions on Israel, to exert pressure on it to stop its attacks on Gaza 65% would support a COMPLETE arms sales ban to Israel. And 60% would support an end to the trade deal between the UK and Israel. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Free school meals for 500,000 more children from 2026 if family claims Universal Credit. Great. Can lift 100,000 children out of poverty. But those not eligible for UC? If families earn marginally more, children will lose free meals. Universal right means, no one loses. Adjust the tax system.

📝 Yesterday, UK union leaders delivered Keir Starmer an urgent letter at 10 Downing Street. 📣 “The Climate and Nature Bill would protect and safeguard nature—while creating 1000’s of jobs, bringing social and economic justice to communities across the county.” 🐝 zerohour.uk #CANBill

Do you talk to yourself out loud? If yes, are you ND (or suspect you might be)? Do you refer to yourself in the third person or first? (I find I switch between the two, depending on the situation.)

If nothing else, this has shown me that - in a close mirror of my 3D friends group - a majority of the lovely people with whom I connect via my phone are also neurodivergent.

Private healthcare is singularly ill equipped to handle this growing mental health care crisis. Or any health care crisis. This is what happens when politicians think only in terms of election cycles and their bank account.

Our study just out in Nature: the extreme North Atlantic heat in summer 2023 was mainly due to weak winds causing shallow mixed layers, which heat up more quickly. Global warming is causing a trend toward shallow mixed layers, making such extremes more likely. 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the funniest things I've read in ages. Curtis Yarvin is built up as the great sage of the reactionary right, and yet his political thought has the depth of a teaspoon. At one point he says: "In China, you can think and pretty much say whatever you want.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The People's Assembly have called a National Demonstration, this Saturday, to protest against cuts and austerity that target the poorest and most vulnerable in society. RMT is supporting this event and we urge as many members as possible to attend and to bring banners and flags.

This is a really important point, I think. People who've kind of sauntered through life never having faced a consequence for shit work or lazy, broken output seem to overlap 100% with the people who see generative text / image tools as the most "useful". They have no connection w/ failure.

What did we do to deserve this government? It promised change, and many people voted on that basis, in good faith. But the change is from bad to worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“It is worth asking who is benefiting from this headlong rush, and at whose expense. One developer…used Llama to build Chub AI, a website where users can…roleplay violent and illegal acts. For as little as $5 a month, users can access a “brothel” staffed by girls below the age of 15…”
