I am SO excited to say that my book #anthrovision is now out in paperback...and if there was ever a moment we need some anthrovision it is now, with the world in turmoil! https://t.co/tvQu5MBIaz

When most people hear the name Richard Nixon, they probably think of Watergate. Damaged people like me think about the end of the Bretton Woods system, and “our currency but your problem”.

Here’s The Story of Money’s second episode about the Nixon Shock. https://t.co/G0FNP6kzer

Ok everyone. @bhgreeley has written the best book on the USD ever. The US fell into it, used it, and is now in danger or losing. And now you can get it at a discount. Seriously. Read the book. Its a bullshit filter for USD discussions, and so much more: https://t.co/vLS7FrjS7R

Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. https://t.co/1xkN7hECMu

#NargesMohammadi is a moral leader for our time, working courageously to try to bring human rights to Iran. I so admire her. Because of her work, she won the Nobel Peace Prize--and was imprisoned. And now, after months of ill treatment and medical neglect, she reportedly has suffered a cardiac crisis and is reported in critical condition. Narges deserves specialized care NOW.

Congratulations! FT stood up to a bully. Reporting vindicated. Independent public service journalism upheld. A very good day

Funny that crypto deals in hope (someone somewhere will find this stuff useful), AI in fear (it will take your jobs and replace you).

It should be the other way round.

1/ The world is facing a 'ticking time bomb' from its supply of oil, according to a briefing note from JP Morgan. Physical scarcity of oil is about to unfold across the globe, spreading sequentially through April from east to west, causing major economic disruption worldwide. ⬇️

Happy Friday! @Kings_College - which I oversee - is launching a new podcast to showcase its amazing, half-hidden research. I talk with life scientists, engineers, quantum experts, political experts and more. Listen - and learn something new! !

Britain’s electricity is currently 72% zero carbon.

We’re defeating the oil barons, petro-state dictators, paid fossil fuel lobbyists, and every right wing grifter on the internet one wind turbine at a time.

Cool Britannia is so back…🇬🇧⚡️♻️🔋😎

[Vali Nasr @vali_nasr]

Larijani’s replacement will be appointed by IRGC. With every assassination U.S. and Israel engineering greater radicalization of Iran’s leadership. It will makes for a bleak future for Iran, Iranians, the region and ultimately makes it far more difficult for U.S. to disentangle itself from endless conflict in the region.

[Gillian Tett @gilliantett]

Shocking.
Or maybe not…alas.

[Robert McCollister @RobertMcCollist]

Not one word to Putin even though he is helping Iran kill American soldiers. Criticism and ridicule for the allies, nothing but praise for Putin.

[Gillian Tett @gilliantett]
