218,983 emails sent by people using the @newscord.org platform to pressure press and media regulators after the disgusting behaviour by the press around Dr Jason Arday. Incredible action. We're so lucky to have this tool - it's a bit of a game changer. newscord.org/action/jason...

81 days 'scroll sober!' 👀💪 Last week I was close to a relapse - opening apps more. The trigger seems to be the end of Summer energy. I spoke/worked at 5 festivals. I need *REAL REST* Tired = dopamine hunt Thankfully full moon naked sea swim + bank hol at home are helping. (Pic is moon not sun!)

Petitions are useless. Protests are annoying. Nothing is working. Why bother? I'm going ask these questions to media, law and campaign experts at this 'ere @media-revolution.bsky.social event. If you have questions too, I'm listening!

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Access to verified, accurate information is eroding. We can be easily confused and manipulated. We live in silos and struggle to have empathy for each other. It's a recipe for conspiracy. The Conspicists, an amazing documentary is screening tonight in Hackney, and I'm thrilled to host Q&A after.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

A handy phrase; *value-action gap* "discrepancy between the stated values of an individual or organisation and their actions" Basically the difference between what people say and what they do. Hence studies show increasing climate concern, but not action. 😵‍💫 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-a...
