[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Last night, I gave the annual #MarshallMcLuhan lecture at @transmediale #Berlin. The event was sold out and while there's a video that'll be posted soon, they couldn't get a streaming setup installed in the Canadian embassy, where the talk was held:

Professor Saleemul Huq OBE (1952-2023)

It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Professor Saleemul Huq, an environmental and climate change giant, and senior fellow and dear friend of IIED and many IIED colleagues past and present.

Thwaites Glacier Eastern Ice Shelf from Sentinel-1 over the last eight years. I suspect it won't be long before total collapse. 1080p video can be downloaded here: https://t.co/bc1fh7OKdA

Yesterday another 'glacier funeral' ceremony took place. This time to alert on the fact that #Pasterze, largest Austrian remaining glacier, is about to lose connection to its accumulation area ❄️
The tongue is turning into a dead-ice body which is going to melt even faster 🔥

Got very confused yesterday walking by some construction in Birmingham while on the phone to my mom, talking to her about lace I need for my wedding dress.

The workers kept staring. Then other passers-by started staring.

In Afrikaans.

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

The negative Antarctic sea ice anomaly has continued to widen for many weeks to the now historic gap.

Ice growth has been much slower than typical, and recall that this February also set the new record low for the seasonal minimum.

Invisible to the naked eye, under the microscope you can clearly see the plastic microfiber death-traps in my latest plankton sample. Our synthetic materials are a serious pollution threat to the ocean. @zeiss_micro

As major trading partners go all-in on reaching net-zero, governments look to modern industrial policy to ensure our supply chains and sectors can win in the new world. We spoke with @financialpost to explore this "bipartisan embrace" of industrial policy.
