One of the cool things about the success of #dontlookup on @netflix is that it proves there is an opportunity for more climate stories in mainstream media. Great podcast @CanaryMediaInc!

We loved this piece by @ayanaeliza and @GhostPanther about #DontLookUp. It's great to see climate entering the cultural convo from many angles, including humor! On that note, send us your funny #CliFi! (Ideally less bleak than an asteroid apocalypse)
