did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb
Our news is out! @cambridgeuni.bsky.social and the UN's pension scheme will move up to $750 million to track the world’s first global corporate bond index for investors aiming to reduce their investments in fossil fuel expansion. More info: shorturl.at/PHb8v Press: shorturl.at/2U1lx
Important reminder. I remember learning this as 'history' in school - but it feels close right now.
Staggeringly brave and important.
Beautiful!
Thanks for this 😆
An interesting read - thanks for reskeeting!
The Nutmeg's Curse by Anita Ghosh has a lovely structure and could work well!
*Particularly exciting moment for me: Roman and Elliott making sense - and comedy - out of the power of bonds, banks and custodians to reshape the landscapes (physical and political) of our lives: the focus of my day job. I cheered!
Episode breakdown of the 99pi break down of the Power Broker, set out like a gig poster with lists of episodes, dates and the chapters of the book that they feature. Also the podcast logo which features a spooky looking bust of Robert Moses, the subject of the book.
Not on my 2024 bingo card: my favourite podcast was about a 1336pg, 50yo biography of a man I'd never heard of! But @romanmars.bsky.social &
@elliottkalan.bsky.social taught me so much about power, politics and beautiful bureaucracy.* (one day I might even read it..!)

A guide to political framing and rebuttal through the medium of (not) eating babies. It’s good. You’ll get the message.
Part of the power of the present moment is in the claim that it is entirely different. I think history can help us unpack and appraise that?
All of these are choices that we can make otherwise
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, we were *checks notes* posting about the potential leakage effects of locating Santa’s workshop in a remote place that surely also needs lots of year-round space heating
Pre-christmas cross-continent train travel is painful. But: the crinkling into joy of an elderly lady's wrinkles as I passed around gingerbread on the packed train near Aachen. All the sweet solidarity of missed connections. Now, the owl hooting outside my Brussels hotel window. Partial redemptions.
After many years of investor engagement, the sector seems surprised that if you only ask companies to set climate targets, they are more likely to do this than to change their current practice (e.g. emissions)..? 🤔
It's amazing that people think this is culturally acceptable on LinkedIn where if you did this as a cold email it would go straight to spam
This is awesome - thanks for sharing, Mike!
As a non-driver, I can recommend Berlin!
This thread crisply articulates some examples of the idea of 'the future' as an organising principle - something I try to think about (or 'with') a lot. It's also a great concept for thinking about climate-related organising. Thanks @sjshancoxli.bsky.social !
Four figures sit on a podium: a moderator (Susanna Rust) and three panelists (Arthur Dessaix, Lindsey Stewart, Peter Lundkvist). Above them is a screen with the session title 'Decarbonisation: Are asset owners over their heads?' and their names and affiliations.
What impact will the coming Trump perspective have on institutional investors driving decarbonisation?
@lindsey-stewart.bsky.social at THE IPE conference in Prague: "There is an inevitable transition away from fossil fuels... it is vital that long term investors retain this perspective."
Folks talking about "overpopulation" aren't in the climate movement. They're in, uh, a different movement (derogatory).
No 'Going to' blockbuster franchise on the cards then..
