According to an article I have just read on a reputable news website, three-quarters of those who took their own lives in the UK in 2022 were male. We definitely don’t talk about this enough.
When we throw things ‘away’, what does that actually mean? In his highly acclaimed book Wasteland - which was published in paperback in April - journalist @olifranklin takes us on a journey through the global waste industry. buff.ly/3WjDxlg

One of my all-time favourite magazine profiles
In 2010, the Tories came to power talking of "broken Britain". And by god they delivered.
Six years after announcing it, the Conservative government has just delayed its own plan to introduce deposits on recycling again - to 2027. A decade to make one small change to waste laws. It will almost certainly never happen. Ineffectual government in action.
This will be news to our local branch of Reform, who have been ingeniously recruiting old people through the use and relentless advertisement of pub quizzes

This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climateEmergency #climate #energy #renewables
This is a wonderful essay about science, sentience, groupthink, climate, and time, by Daniel Immerwahr @gdnlongread pocket.co/x9sG8i?utm_sou…
Nice to see Wasteland being engaged with so thoughtfully (alongside the excellent @EdConwaySky) in @techreview technologyreview.com/2024/04/24/109…

@bylarisha @RollingStone The thing I do not understand about this narrative is this album’s Jack songs sound nothing like midnights Jack songs to me. I genuinely do not know what you all are talking about.

Delhi’s Ghazipur landfill, the setting of the opening chapter of Wasteland is on fire again. Hoping the wastepicking communities that live on the dump are unhurt.

some of you have never had to do it with a broken heart and it shows
This betrays a "good guys vs bad guys" worldview, binary thinking that simplifies complex issues into good vs. evil, fueling conspiracy theories by offering clear villains and heroes. It comforts with easy answers, strengthens group identity, and resists contrary evidence,…
The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”. If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.
Justice Alito suggests that, if former presidents are subject to prosecution after leaving office, they'll be more likely to seek to unlawfully remain in office after they were defeated for re-election/their term has ended. JFC.
Last year, I quit a job at a well-respected national media outlet where I had to write a minimum of one 600 word news story every 40 minutes. It was soul destroying + felt a bit pointless. I also kept getting headaches from staring at the laptop + concentrating so intently.
An email from a young journalist who watched our session at @journalismfest (sharing with her permission). This person clearly cares a lot about journalism - she watches web streams of media talks. It's pretty sad that this is how our industry makes her feel.
In 2010, the Tories came to power talking of "broken Britain". And by god they delivered.

@olifranklin Since moving here I've been shocked at the state of waste. Bins removed and frequent fly tipping in East London. Totally mad.
@Birdyword Be the Britain that East Asia thinks you are (cultural giant) and that Russia/Iran think you are (malevolent superpower) and that continental Europe thinks you are (legendary boozers).
This should have been done 10 years ago as Defra was recommended to do so. Would’ve worked in everyone’s favour apart from manufacturers and retailers of these catastrophic products. From the off clear evidence that wet wipes did not break down in a viable way. Instead…
You spoke, we listened – we are banning the supply and sale of wet wipes containing plastic. 95% of respondents to our consultation agreed with our proposed ban, so we’ll introduce our world-leading legislation this year. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

Meta revenues in the U.K. increased 750x between 2004 & 2022 (from £4 million to £3 billion). Google’s increased 22x. That destroyed ad model for British companies like ITV, hindering their ability to produce excellent TV and public service journalism. Time to talk about that.
Britain’s railways are broken. Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system. Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first.
