New piece on Zone of Interest: the speech, the lies, most of all, Glazer's harrowing warning about how genocide can become "ambient."

This is what feels most contemporary, most of this terrible moment, about Glazer’s staggering film.

A tip for those of us who work at screens all day:
1. Unclench your jaw
2. Twist your torso from side to side
3. Arch backwards till you’re upside down with your hands and feet on the floor
4. Laugh
5. Spider crawl across the room
6. Devour someone whole
7. Haunt the witnesses

Today The Climate Book is finally released in many parts of the world!

I want to use my platform to share the reality of the climate crisis – to communicate a holistic picture of how the world is changing and what we need to do about it. That is why I created this book.

History tells us that wars cause irreversible and unimaginable loss. Civilians are killed; homes, schools and places of worship destroyed. People need peace, stability and dignity more than anything else. Russia must stop the attack on Ukraine immediately.
