It is good to know that Musk can push an Irish far right candidate hard on his pet social media network, and a whole country can just say absolutely not. Come on Brits, learn something.

What if something as simple as #SchoolMeals were treated as an opportunity to catalyse green and inclusive economic growth? Today we launch a new report with WFP calling for school meals to be part of cross-departmental, multi-sector industrial policy. Report here ➡️ www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/pub...

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

Just a reminder: All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.

Great piece by Jodie Yettram, full of research and investigation to try and answer this question. Seems to me it's a mixture of compounding factors, with housing at the top, that are driving the young away and keeping them from returning. Jersey's becoming a very dull island with less young in it.

It's devastating that doctors who are 2 years into their medical career are saying they're "needing a break from the training environment" & "seeking to improve health & wellbeing". 1 doctor dies by suicide every 3 weeks. This is truly tragic & reflects the state of education & practice right now.

In my years, I've managed plenty of mergers that included rebranding. Only once have I seen a rebrand improve brand recognition or impact, and that was a 100% internal exercise that didn't involve branding consultants. I think Jaguar have paid branding consultants.

The other thing (I’ve said it 1000 times) is that X is a business & our attention/content is currency. If I learned that eg a clothing brand I’d always liked was now using slave labour & dumping toxic waste in the sea, I wouldn’t continue to buy their product. We have that choice.
