There’s a non-zero number of men on this platform who do this to me regularly. Including today.

What a great piece by @dkthomp.bsky.social in The Atlantic on our increasing isolation and its disturbing ramifications in the digital age. Just added this to the syllabus for my spring term "Religion and Media" course at Northwestern. Looking forward to discussing this with my GenZ students.

I discovered the world of climate comedy thanks to @maxboykoff.bsky.social & @mattywin.bsky.social - and it is so therapeutic!
I’d love to curate a starter pack on climate & humour, but I only have 3 accounts, with @belinaraffy.bsky.social.
Baba Brinkman + Chuck Nice aren’t here.
Suggestions? 🧵

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)
