Medellín, Colombia dropped its city's warming temps by a whopping 4 degrees Fahrenheit. How? They created "green corridors" of trees and plants throughout the built city. It cost $6.50 per resident, and will save the city millions of dollars each year. We need more of this!

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history." RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

This is a deep embarrassment to the entire publishing and writing industry. This book was already published in the UK? Where are the copy editors? Agents? I've read that ARC readers pounced all over this book and were frantically talking to the publisher about it, which is likely how this was found out. Our industry may be over, friends in the #writingcommunity, if this kinda shit is happening, I doubt it'll be the last one, and if people aren't paying enough attention, we're done for. Meanwhile some of us are spending our lives trying to make our books into undeniably great pieces of fiction just to get noticed by an agent, and these fuckers are just having AI write it for them and getting published. Fucking sickening.

Just said on Red Nose Day on the telly that Amazon has raised 2 million quid?? 1. No it hasn’t, it’s collected 2 million quid from people who have donated. 2. Jeff Bezos makes that every 9.6 minutes.
