In a world that often feels deeply polarized, it is rare to find a topic where almost everyone agrees. The treatment of farm animals is one of them. Surveys across many countries show that a strong majority of people, regardless of their diet, oppose common practices in animal agriculture.
Bar chart of survey responses from about 1,000 UK adults in 2022 where most respondents rate a range of common farming practices for chickens, cows and pigs as "not acceptable," highlighting a gap between public concern for farm animals and current practices.

I could try to describe Helen Zille to my UK followers but it would be impossible. Watch this interview from today instead, which captures why she is so formidable and insufferable at the same time, and why so many South Africans struggle with her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5k5...

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.
