Hey @CricketAus guess you might have missed it but India are up to 220 000 Covid cases a day. I know a 1000 a day was too many for your players to tour SA so thought you might want to know.
Thank you to the Cape Town Firefighters who been working all night and their work is getting more and more tough this morning.... #CapeTownFires
How I became a human plague – and stumbled into one of the most astonishing scientific stories I’ve ever encountered. My column. Plus thread. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Today I serendipitously discovered Philomena Cunk, the brilliantly-named BBC mockumentarian with the thick-as-molasses Lancashire accent. Her wide-eyed, deadpan walkabout comedy style is the stuff of genius. This is her on William Shakespeare. youtube.com/watch?v=9YeCpH…
I would love you to watch this, because I suspect this might be the most important issue of all.
Have you watched/read/listened to @GeorgeMonbiot's 2020 Schumacher Lecture yet? He begins with the simple question, "how is it possible to own land?" and then envisions how we can engage with the #land as the basis for the transformation of society. centerforneweconomics.org/publications/p…
‘One cannot simply outperform inequality, or be excellent enough to escape discrimination of any kind,’ said U.S. soccer superstar @mPinoe, as she renewed a call for gender pay equity, during House testimony reut.rs/3skIAjs
Oakland, California, will launch a guaranteed income project to give hundreds of Black and Indigenous families and people of color $500 per month for 18 months. The payments will be unconditional, and recipients may spend the money however they choose. cnn.it/3f7Yc6k
Following CJ Stander’s retirement, look back at this epic clip of when he was mic’d up for a match with Munster.
It’s unforgivable that we didn’t just suspend rents, commercial as well as residential, for the duration of this. It did and continues to do irreparable damage to communities and livelihoods when we could have just printed money to bail out the landlords. nytimes.com/2021/03/10/nyr…
Richer nations are giving about one vaccine dose every single second, but most of the poorest ones are yet to get a single shot, a vaccine alliance says. Rich nations are blocking efforts to waive intellectual property rights on vaccines, the alliance said cnn.it/2OaKnZX
I’ve now withdrawn from the event I was doing at the @sciencemuseum, after discovering that it is still taking sponsorship money from the oil companies BP and Equinor. Such companies use these deals to sustain their social licence to operate – ie to destroy the living planet.
12. Bizarrely, while heather moorland is treated as a conservation priority by the major NGOs, our rainforests, which - thanks to centuries of destruction - are much rarer, are not. It’s time to mend not only our impoverished ecosystems, but also our impoverished understanding.
The Gucci wearing CIC and his Ferregamo slides Deputy will soon explain to SARS how they afford that level of opulence on their MP salaries.
How the FUCK did a generation raised on South Park and Family Guy become so offended by everything?
There's a smart way to insult or shame apartheid: It rests in delivering high quality education (numeracy and literacy), health, effective state and higher employment rate. Changing names of things only deepens the plight of blacks by diverting funds to ego-replenishing spend.
Astonishing. Transcendent. I am so tiny.
Garbage collectors in Ankara open a library with books rescued from the trash. "The only regret the men have, is that they didn't start collecting sooner." goodnet.org/articles/turki…
