The vast majority of art and creative work ever made is destroyed and forgotten, usually very quickly. It is so unusual for these things to endure!

Everything still points to warming of well over 2C and all the horrible things that come with it, but emissions peaking and then falling would demonstrate decarbonisation and sustainable development is possible. It would throw the world a lifeline.

While mums probably are the ones with the mental load most of the time, sometimes it's dads. Yet these articles never include one. Would be nice for once to emphasis that this is an issue of responsibility distribution, not a simple battle of the sexes www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why more women carry the 'mental load' - and how couples can share it

Planning, organising and remembering household tasks falls disproportionately to mothers - here are some tips to help.

I struggle with this idea that it's only heatwaves we need to worry about in the climate crisis. There will also be excessive rainfall, flooding, periods of extreme cold... it's not like winter will be some safe haven

Is there a reason that the 2026 eclipse is on almost exactly the same day of the year as the 1999 eclipse? Is it just a massive coincidence? Feels like something someone should explain if not

Personally I think it's cute that there are fans of a fictional character who have built them a shrine in the real world and want to protect it. Not everything has to be an outrage

Like someone still has to be out there creating the knowledge the AI is going to chop up and regurgitate later on. I truly do understand that the technology can be powerful and transformative but it has to have something to transform. The research can’t all be just on improving the regurgitation.

I always thought that as a writer I would be useless in a post-apocalyptic scenario but if enough other people outsource their thinking and writing to AI, I might be in with a shot of becoming the "scribe" while the rest of the community hunt, kill marauders, filter drinking water and whatnot

4. Providing every person with individual AC units is a wildly inefficient way to proceed. There are many ways to dramatically reduce *demand* for cooling, both at the urban-design level (tree canopies, etc.) & at the building-design level (shades, reflective roofs, etc.).

What really pisses me off about heat chat is people act like society can't change to accommodate it. We know how unnecessary most commuting is, how pointless business attire is... stuff like that can all change if there's an acceptance that different clothes and working hours are needed on hot days

The result is that atmospheric CO2 concentrations would have been approximately 8 ppm higher if global emissions had not plateaued over the past 13 years. This represents some real progress, though we need to deeply reduce emissions rather than just flatting them.

At the same time, we have seen a real plateau in global CO2 emissions. They went from growing at >2% per year in the 2000-2013 to flatlining, having only increased ~3% between 2013 and 2025.

The photos from Artemis aren't that different from the photos from Apollo. The evidence is the same. It's how we read it & what we choose to do with it that matters. More photos won't change that. More artists, writers (& scientists?) experiencing and interpreting that view might.

If I was in charge of space missions, I wouldn't be sending engineers or scientists or wannabe space colonists up there. I'd be sending artists, poets and writers - the people who can look back at Earth and share what it feels like to see directly how beautiful, fragile & unique our planet is. [1/2]

What's happening to the global economy because the Strait of Hormuz is closed provides all the proof you need that there is no "decoupling" the economy from the material conditions of the planet. We're embedded in the environment, folks. There is no economy without nature.
