Well, at least my book writing plans are getting firmed up. 🫠

Thank you! Love the ideas. Yes sadly you are not the first to tell me to wait until they are in prison. Seems the way we rebels are going.

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.

New: Climate change literacy has not budged in years. Largely the result of a huge coordinated disinformation campaign. The science is crystal clear: ALL of the warming is due to humans… 1/

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.”

Forbes@forbes.com · 2mo ago

Scientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change—but Americans aren't buying it.

The abhorrent racism aside, Burnham is right that there is something quite desperate about Reform's recent activity. See also Zia 'white people are the biggest victims of racism' Yusuf's recent posts

The Media Democracy Festival is back! 27th June, London. Tickets now available. mediademocracyfestival.co.uk 👈 Join to hear from experts, join in workshops to discuss, participate and shape 'The Future of Public Media' ⭐ THE ⭐ topic of our time.

This reminds me of John Todd from Cape Cod. In some of the moments I'm not busy obsessing about the state of media, (and what to do about it) I'm obsessing about the state of our water. And this is a top 'what-to-do-about-it'. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

‘Yoda’ for scientists: the outsider ecologist whose ideas from the 80s just might fix our future

John Todd’s eco-machine stunned experts by using natural organisms to remove toxic waste from a Cape Cod lagoon. Forty years on, he wants to build a fleet of them to clean up the oceans

Did you know you can turn waste into water with no chemicals or machinery? The sewage from Sheepdrove Organic Farm flows through seven different natural systems until it arrives at a lake where it’s clean enough to swim in or drink. You can stay by the lake and try it for yourself.

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.

Join us and @lizpendleton.bsky.social this Friday night for a special screening and discussion of The Conspiracists at The Castle Cinema in Hackney. 🎟️ bit.ly/conspiracistscastle

It's been an honour - and a challenge - to work on the Ethical Reporting Guidelines project with @pressjustice.bsky.social for the last 6 months, and I'm thrilled to be launching V1 of the guides this week. I'm also excited about what comes next, how they form an ethical foundation to build on.

Press Justice Project@pressjustice.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Just two days to go until the launch of the Ethical Reporting Guidelines. Hosted by PJP co-ordinator and media justice & rights campaigner @lizpendleton.bsky.social the panel + Q&A covers how handling sensitive topics with ethical rigor means the difference between life or death. buff.ly/7rYlq67

Not much to see here, just my attempt to debate existential questions at @thersaorg.bsky.social with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @bellingcat.com My uncomfortable efforts to signpost towards a #mediarevolution continue! @media-revolution.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/lizpen/p...

It blows my mind too @charliejgardner.bsky.social Seems like another case of obsession with the clown 🤡.... and ignorance of the circus 🎪

Dr Charlie Gardner@charliejgardner.bsky.social · 5mo ago

It blows my mind that serious commentators still talk about Trump being voted out at the next election What indication has he ever given that he would either hold or honour a fair election?

A message from our Chair, Stephen Kinsella (@stephenstroud.bsky.social) regarding the recent polling conducted by Opinium in regards to press standards.

X is just as much an enclosed, tiny and echoey silo as Bluesky, it's just that the people on X still seem convinced they're plugged directly into the brain of policymakers and high-powered decision makers like the Matrix chair, and it completely acidifies and collapses their brain

"The thing that they fear the most is what they don't control." Love this quote by AOC in The Persuaders @anandwrites.bsky.social #inspiringbooks

Working behind the scenes with @hackedoff.bsky.social and getting progress for press abuse victims feels positive. And yet I'm skeptical about #PressReform via Labour. We must use political routes AND have strategies that don't depend on them. #MediaRevolution @media-revolution.bsky.social

I say I hate acronyms, but I can make exceptions. Yesterday was a Media Revolution meeting for strategy of the Core Working Group (CWG)...and we met In Real Life (IRL) I kept calling the day the CoWGIRL day. Hardly anyone knew what I was on about. And that's absolutely OK. #NerdAlert

Excited to say I've joined the team at @hackedoff.bsky.social - just in time for The Hack to air on ITV. With any luck (and effort) this could bring renewed interest to the problematic press (there are stronger words) - and their cosy (cough, corrupt, cough) relationship with police and govt.

Hacked Off@hackedoff.bsky.social · 11mo ago

At Hacked Off HQ we're eagerly awaiting the first episode of The Hack - showing on ITV tomorrow, 9pm. Spoiler alert.... we also plan to make the most of the moment. 👀 #WatchThisSpace www.hackedoff.org/blog-posts/t...

Oh, I am imagining. We must all imagine the worst and then work towards the best. This isn't humanity.

Padilla: "If this is how Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they are doing to farm workers, cooks, day-labourers out in the Los Angeles community, throughout California, and throughout the country."

It was a real pleasure to host a zoom room full of media revolutionaries on Monday. And look, they're so happy!! 🤣 Obviously because they know we need a #MediaRevolution and are part of making it happen! 😜

Media Revolution@media-revolution.bsky.social · last yr.

The first Media Revolution open call on Monday was ace! Vibrant discussion was had thanks to the revolutionaries; from activists to illustrators and #OpenWeb pioneers to animators helping to shape the #mediarevolution Missed it? Don't worry, there are 2 more in June! Register via the website!

Imagine if the media refused to platform fossil-fuel-funded think tanks. We’d see disinformation disappear and fake debates vanish. Do you think it’s time for the media to draw a firm line against climate and nature misinformation? #ClimateMediaCharter

Imagine if every newsroom openly declared a climate & nature emergency. Could media leaders be the guiding light in a time of crisis, showing they care about the future we all share? Pledge 1/12 of the Climate Media Charter asks for this commitment. #ClimateMediaCharter

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.

Comparing coverage of #teslatakedown on @bsky.app vs X is very revealing. Also X has a Tesla Take Down WatchDOGE 🤮 @teslatakedown.com

A different world to the one we live in now *is possible*, and transformation is within reach. Today, with @climate-media-c.bsky.social I launched this crowdfunder, to take us on a path to a global media leaders summit. I've never been so clear on, and exciting by the goal.
