There's no better way of communicating the insane trajectory of humanity in the 21st century than cartoons and no-one did it better than Jon Kudelka. Rest in power Jon.

Here's his top ten.

when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes,

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries;

If this was tv show the plot would be too crass to commission.

One of broligarchy sacking Pulitzer Prize winners to foster misinformation and plain stupidly at the time when our very earth systems are in dire trouble.

#climatechange is hitting Africa hard. Deserts advancing. Farms no longer yielding. Pests and pathogens spreading. New tropical diseases developing. Dying lakes and rivers threatening water supplies.

YouTube video by chrisjardine.energy How Energy Systems REALLY work - here's 3 ways of understanding Energy Systems | Energy 101, Ep 4

Energy systems are at the heart of climate change, technology, and the future of how we live, but they’re far more complex than most people realise.

This is a great explainer video by @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social that helps to make sense of the energy system.

For policy teams there is a national emergency. It is moving incrementally in human lifespan terms. If you want to protect children grandchildren and loved ones you should take note.

Phil Piratin who helped defeat British fascism in the 1930s through community organising

This is Phil Piratin — the 1930s activist who showed us how to beat today's fascists and racists as they try to tear down democracy in the US and the UK.

From rent strikes to the Battle of Cable Street, Piratin proved that when communities organise, fascism runs away.

The billionaire-owned press, their TV and online amplifiers and their pet politicians are trying to convince us that a far right political victory is inevitable in Britain.

It isn't.

People power has beaten it before. And it can do it again.

Don't despair. Organise.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"

So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

Imperial Zero Index is a “rigourous” new framework they have rolled out “to assess which companies have a strategic commitment to decarbonisation, and are taking concrete steps towards operationalising that commitment”

Does this mean they will finally say no to toxic industries?

This is why we need to accelerate efforts. This is merely the tip of the rapidly melting iceberg.

The BBC is still failing to #ConnectTheDots here

Keir Starmer is about to find out who the real blockers are after disastrously failing to provide an alternative to the far right, and leading an attack on those protecting the environment from inside Government

On earth day a climate science denier told me it is all about tax.
That’s probably how we get to the sixth great extinction.

Global #SeaLevel rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly due to ocean water expanding as it warms, finds NASA-led analysis. Since 1993, rate of annual sea level rise has more than doubled, exacerbating coastal #flooding & erosion. London faces growing risk of floods in coming years

Imagine a river that could defend itself in court. 🌊

Excellent thread for anyone concerned about Heathrow’s proposed expansion.

A campaigner named Jon Fuller has performed an invaluable but soul-destroying service by monitoring the climate and nature coverage in the billionaire press for more than 5 years.

As he hands this work over to others, here are his reflections.

My first comment piece in @theguardian.com is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales.

Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

Excellent work. Lots of work to be done.
