@wahabzadat @TeddyWoodhouse @mn1207 @A4A_Internet ha! i think the overarching theme here is that the dc wf/a4ai cohort shared —and continues to share — a deep & abiding love for midday meals, regardless of country or cuisine, as well as a general disdain for portion control. what was lunch today, osito?

A quarter billion people worldwide live outside their country of nationality. One-tenth of them are refugees. Take an in-depth look at today's refugee crisis in a new interactive guide: https://t.co/oL3FVuiAUS

Hopefully, 2019 is the year when it crystallises, esp in the global tech policy spaces, that more technology isn’t necessary the solution to today’s tech-enhanced challenges. #DigitalCooperation calls for a more tempered approach.

As someone who has had my press credentials denied by authoritarian China, I never thought I'd see this crap happen in the US. And this "most reporters are okay but @Acosta is aggressive" thing is the EXACT line Chinese propaganda printed about me. It's a tactic, people.

My thoughts in the Telegraph as ⁦@A4A_Internet⁩ launches new report: Global growth in internet access is slowing sharply. We must act now to get the world's poorest online  https://t.co/pEXBfeagRz

Dream of universal internet access remains far off https://t.co/QAWw5WwQKn

My genius friend, colleague & collaborator @TeddyWoodhouse has found a way to combine two of my favorite things: internet policy & #MeanGirls. Please enjoy & check out @A4A_Internet's newly released Affordability Report at https://t.co/Z4B2VzbdHZ

What are the policies needed to accelerate progress on the path to affordable internet access for all?

This piece on Millenial entitlement l in the Alabama Gazette is great.

[Lauran Potter @potterlauran]

A big reason for this slowdown in internet growth? The high cost to connect. @A4A_Internet's 2018 Affordability Report — launching October 23 — will take an in-depth look at the affordability challenge and what we must do to overcome it. Stay tuned: https://t.co/Z4B2VzbdHZ

[World Wide Web Foundation @webfoundation]

In 2019, half the world will be online. But we have to accelerate the rate at which people are connecting or it will be decades before everyone can access the web's benefits: #ForEveryone #ForTheWeb

So long as we continue to squander what little time we have, the news about climate change will only get worse from here, writes @dwallacewells https://t.co/7awaeHUKO7

[Lauran Potter @potterlauran]

amidst all the bad, sad & depressing news out there, this one — and the world's chronic failure to do anything about it — takes the cake. will the need for action even make headlines past today?
