Until the 1970, the majority of the people were fit as a fiddle! No keto, vegan, or paleo diets. No home aerobics or gym memberships. No fancy fitness tech or wellness influencers. They also weren't drinking protein shakes or counting calories.

So, what went wrong? A THREAD 🧵⬇️

Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.

This school is made from sustainable materials, runs on #solar, & produces enough energy to power itself & the 50 homes around it.

Shouldn't every school get a #solarpower upgrade like this one?

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Meta, Dublin campus, we did it! Whoops, hype, insight, and not being afraid to talk about tricky topics. Thanks for booking me to speak. Thanks for celebrating, elevating and appreciating my take on things.

And the biggest thanks to @NatalieDavies91 At…https://t.co/5h9yha8dT2

We are heartbroken by and strongly condemn the killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank. The investigation must be immediate and thorough and those responsible must be held accountable. Her death is an affront to media freedom everywhere.

I have never seen anything like this before. It is truly shocking.

They attacked a funeral. The highest profile Palestinian funeral in years and for a slain journalist everyone loved and they did it on a Friday two days before Palestinians commemorate Nakba Day.

Whenever I'm asked about allyship, I like to tell the story of history's most notoriously revolutionary group of white allies – the Boston Vigilance Committee.

A thread.

[Rula Jebreal @rulajebreal]

I’m shattered by the news of the assassination of my friend & colleague Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran journalist. @IDF shot her in the head while she reporting in Jenin… she was wearing a press vest.
This was an execution; a heinous crime & an attack on the freedom of the press.
