This is a good statement from the @royalsociety.org reaffirming their commitment to the scientific values being challenged in the US. But their actions will speak louder than these words when they decide whether or not to remove Musk as a fellow. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

This is gross. Lining the pockets of defense manufacturers at the cost of the poorest and most vulnerable all over the world.

Excited to start some new work on #DRR in mountainous regions soon! Steep terrain, remote communities, & climate change increase risk, but local knowledge & tech can offer solutions. #InclusiveDRR must centre local realities & blend tradition with innovation. More here - bit.ly/41aP87c

As misinformation surrounding #DRR continues to evolve, a united, community-focused approach remains essential. Our collective efforts must prioritise digital literacy, trust & collaboration between authorities, tech providers & local communities. More insights at bit.ly/415s5e0 #GreySky

This is pretty much undeniable fact at this point: a good chunk of white America (particularly local elites) decided that the popular election of a black man represented a rejection of the common social compact, and they've spent the ensuing decade or so in reactionary revolt

Social media is changing #DRR, again! Platform fragmentation, misinformation & geopolitical threats are impacting #emergency comms. A multi-channel, community-driven approach is key. Trust, collaboration, & digital literacy matter more than ever. More here: bit.ly/415s5e0 #GreySky

This woman has zero shame. For a PM who created a good number of the economic issues we have today in the UK, she sure is outspoken. If I'd created the chaos she did, I'd be hiding away under a rock somewhere

Are we paying enough attention to the digital risks AI brings to #DRR? My past work explored AI bias in #InclusiveDRR (bit.ly/DRRD-Publica...). My new research will explore the digital divide, biased resource allocation, & AI’s impact on disaster response. Coming April 2025.

Are you not entertained? Oh, even the US, with the largest, bloated military budget on earth, does not spend 5% on "defence", the target it is pushing on Europe and NATO allies.

I don't see how there is any functioning security relationship with the US now. It's run by fascists. One of them has been relentlessly trying to undermine our democracy for 9 months, calling for civil war, regime change. We've had 2 days of Trump conceding Putin's war demands. What's left?

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
