My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”

The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

According to the data from flight trackers July 23rd was the busiest day for commercial air travel ever recorded, and in other news, as this summer of extreme heat continues multiple countries are being consumed by wildfires, but that is probably just a coincidence.

Ever realize how that particular perspective's ultimate conclusion when taken to its extreme is complete cultural segregation and a fascination with cultural "purity"? I think about that a lot

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Gary Lineker and 120 other UK millionaires have signed a letter, organised by Patriotic Millionaires UK, to Andy Burnham. It says: 'our new government must raise taxes on extreme levels of wealth for a fairer, better, more hopeful Britain. 'It's time to tax us, the super rich. #TaxTheRich ✅️

It's been a point that's been argued to a brick-wall my entire professional life but if you take a cold hard look at the relative successes, compounding economic benefits, and global standing of British industries the treatment of the performing arts is a completely mad kind of self harm

Performing and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.

For three days in a row the heat record for June has been broken in the UK. The same story right across Europe. Any attempts at this key moment to slow climate action is utterly indefensible. We need day one action to accelerate our climate ambition from Andy Burnham.

Record-breaking heat on Saturday (and Sunday) in #Germany, too! June records are being shattered in many places, and even the all-time record is in jeopardy. #heat #heatwave #records

A large part of the appeal of ethno-nationalism is that losers and grifters can claim access to greatness through their present and past compatriots' contributions to society, even if they themselves are an active detriment to said society.
