Development finance, climate change and economic justice.
I keenly read this paper, but in the recent past, I have noticed nuanced mischief in the way some issues are addressed. And this cover’s attempt to tie aid reform to the chaotic and brutal withdrawal of US from foreign development assistance as some chance to revamp the sector is in itself faulty.

Ever since the first fuzzy images of its surface were captured in 1964, Mars has sparked imaginations worldwide. As Nasa publishes its photographic archives of the red planet, will Elon Musk’s wild predictions of a crewed flight in four years come true?…

Beautiful ending 😅. “They should desist. Notre Dame should belong to everyone, and anyone who wants to score cheap points off the achievement of its restoration can eat lead dust.”

Over 4,000 of DC's young workers were unemployed from 2021-2023. A job guarantee that connects young people to a job with a livable wage, benefits, and supportive services would benefit workers, their families, and the economy. www.dcfpi.org/all/a-qualit...

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
