crazy things i learned about hops while working on this shoot for @ekonoke_ and @brutamerica : (1) it's seriously threatened by climate change. (2) something like 80% of the world's hops comes from 2 states in the US. (3) no one had successfully harvested it indoors before!

[Brut America @brutamerica]

It’s official: Climate change could seriously impact beer production.

But this organization, @ekonoke_, is growing hops that would remain climate-resistant year round.

With @100_accelerator.

Remy has covered virtually every major protest and social movement in Paris over the past 5 years, so he's pretty well known by now. as he tells the officer who grabs him by the collar "35K people are watching this !"

[Avi Davis @AviDavis_]

my colleague @RemyBuisine was physically harassed by the police multiple times while covering the protests in Paris. there's another clip from his live where an officer picks him up and drags him by the collar by an officer. this is why some French journalists wear helmets.

groups like @NRDC have been pushing to have toxic PFAS chemicals regulated for years. now regulations are finally on the way. to learn more, watch the video we made with NRDC and @KarishmaPorwal3 for @brutamerica last year -- still relevant! up on IG now.

BREAKING: This SWAT team in Atlanta today killed a land defender trying to stop construction of a misguided "police academy" funded by corporations such as @Amazon and @HomeDepot. Must be investigated.

Self-defense or targeted killing? @defendATLforest

dang just last night i told myself "gotta see jeff beck live while i still can" (thanks to @rickbeato 's video).

only rock musician from that generation still making new music worth listening to.

only rock guitarist who could make an entire career out of *just* playing guitar

[Jeff Beck @jeffbeckmusic]

On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.
