What do you get when you mix time travel, tech billionaires, heartbreak, and a journalist stuck in the future? Answer: Catherine Mayer’s TIME/LIFE… and one of our most brilliant interviews yet. We talked about Sci-fi love stories, grief, activism & what writing really means. How to survive a tech convention without being catapulted into the future (no promises). The interview is now LIVE on YouTube for everyone, after 2 weeks of exclusivity for our Substack community. Watch it here 👉 youtu.be/u3OAStQykoA Watch, Listen & Read more 👉 open.substack.com/pub/thewccs/p/… Listen on any of your favorite podcast platforms. #TIMEandLIFE #CatherineMayer #AuthorInterview #WritingCommunity #SciFi @catherine_mayer

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

Dopo una lunga settimana chiudiamo con queste due immagini. Una serata senza scontri, in cui protagonista è stato il paese reale, e una società civile che sa sempre rispondere presente, e farlo all’altezza delle aspettative. Un minuto di silenzio per i tanti delusi, e per chi in questi giorni ha avuto l’ardire di attaccarmi (sapete chi siete, non fatevi taggare). Ma soprattutto, chiudiamo con una sensazione che non provavo da tempo: l’orgoglio di essere (anche) Britannico.

Why not just stay away? Someone asked... well on a case by case basis I think it's worth working class people having their say about what they actually want - which seems to be to live in peace across ethnic and religious boundaries. Shot this about an hour ago - ✊🏼

As the civil service gears up for whatever tomorrow may bring, it seems the perfect moment to share reflections from the late Cabinet Secretary, Jeremy Heywood, on the 10 attributes of a great civil servant. The list starts with flexibility…. heywoodquarterly.com/the-ten-traits…

For those of my followers not familiar with French politics: This does not mean that France faces the risk of a Le Pen presidency. Elections of the National Assembly do not determine president, just the PM.
Peter Ricketts@LordRickettsP

A reminder of the sweeping powers a French President has under the 5th Republic. Parliament dissolved tonight + legislative elections 30 June/7 July. Wrong-foots the whole political class. A big gamble likely to lead to a new PM/Govt in week of 8 July (nb Olympics start 26 July!)

The complexity of global challenges can make our shared problems seem overwhelming and distant. But art can help to make complex topics accessible, engage new audiences, and help us reimagine what is possible to shape a better future: links.emf.org/3re5zS8 #CircularEconomy

In this one-week experiment on adding the climate cost, the “wahre Kosten” or “real costs” campaign saw the price of wiener sausages rise from €3.19 to €6.01, mozzarella go up by 74% to €1.55, and fruit yoghurt increase by 31% from €1.19 to €1.56. theguardian.com/world/2023/jul…

Utilizzare le parole pronunciata da @robertosaviano al funerale di Michela Murgia, per screditare Roberto stesso, è la misura di quanto i giornali di regime temano una piazza dove garrivano bandiere italiane, bandiere arcobaleno e palloncini a unicorno. #libero

Anche solo pensare, malignamente, che Roberto Saviano abbia tenuto un suo «comizio» al funerale, è irricevibile. Michela Murgia, «l’ultimo bacio di @robertosaviano durante la veglia in casa. E il gesto della giacca» corriere.it/cronache/23_ag…
