I turned sixty this summer — so I did something I'd never done and asked AI to write my obituary. It didn't make me gloomy. It just changed the question: not what have I built, but what have I paid attention to. www.kiwanja.net/blog/2026/08... #Mortality #Mindfulness #GoodAncestor

There will never be a better time to read this book by @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social. But What Can I Do? is a straight talking motivational guide for ordinary citizens who feel frustrated or powerless about the modern political landscape. Which has to be the vast majority of us. Highly recommended.

To this day I have no recollection of what we were talking about, but it's a moment I will always treasure. Congratulations on making the century, Sir David. And for everything you continue to do for us, and every living thing, on this fragile little planet of ours. 🕊️ #SirDavidAttenborough 🙏

This is my favourite photo of the two of us, taken in 2003 at the Natural History Museum during the launch of a mobile conservation service I helped develop, and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Fauna & Flora.

I count myself incredibly lucky not to only have been heavily influenced by this man, but to have had the opportunity - not once but twice - to meet and work with him over the years.

Bombing your neighbours does nothing but breed resentment, radicalise their citizens and fuel cycles of retaliation. In a world crying out for solutions we need brave leaders who choose compassion over conflict, dialogue over destruction and peace over war. Shame we don't seem to have any. #Iran

One of the biggest myths you'll hear over and over is that criticising Israel in any shape or form is antisemitic. Period. It's not. Find out why in my post over on LinkedIn. #BreakTheSilence 📣 www.linkedin.com/posts/kiwanj...

Don't underestimate the importance of this move. Well done to Spain and Italy. Now, who else is in? It may be too late for 70,000 murdered Palestinians, but international opinion is slowly beginning to turn. Speaking up does count. Do the right thing. Help #BreakTheSilence.

Right now 'terrorists' are being arrested for doing something that most politicians and businesses are simply too afraid - or not willing - to do. Protest against the systematic destruction of life, property and any hope of peace in #Gaza. I know which side of history I want to be on. You?
Police arrest everyday citizens in London taking part in protests against the war in Gaza.
