"eating bread sticks and hummus" and talking about protesting over climate change and Gaza. Quite incredible how it has become an arrestable offence in the UK to merely *talk* about engaging in disruptive but non-violent protest www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

It was so great to listen to Jelani Cobb in Oxford. So many takeaways but this one stood out for me: "It is odd any news org would continue to attend WH briefings. History will hold us accountable for our behaviour in moments like this one" reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/full-te...

“It’s like your best friend telling you they don’t want to be your friend anymore,” he said. “Maybe you can get over it, but you can’t unsay what has been said. And I think for many Canadians, what’s come out of the U.S. can’t be unsaid.” www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article...

Our own Greg Cochrane spoke to three journalists who've covered the deadly LA wildfires from three different angles. Here are their first-person accounts of an extraordinary experience. We hope it is useful to others going through similar work reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/reporti...

A good point and also a reminder: PEOPLE LIVE IN GREENLAND. It's their ancestral homeland and their home. A worrying amount of media coverage has confused personally knowing nothing about Greenland, with Greenlanders not existing or having any rights.

Claes de Vreese@claesdevreese.bsky.social · last yr.

Greenland considers new law stating "parties, including local and youth sections, are not allowed to receive contributions from foreign or anonymous donors". This law is considered out of necessity now, but the principle is good and should apply widely (also 🇺🇸) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I'm going to leave the growth of podcasting and 'liberal media' distrust analysis to my smart colleagues, and instead just ask . . . once again . . . who told so many men that women are obsessed with doors www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

Esto de World Weather Attribution es muy útil para periodistas que cubren fenómenos extremos, especialmente si no están especializados en clima. Un factsheet sobre cómo los desastres están relacionados con el cambio climático, desde una dana a incendios como los de Los Ángeles.
