Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Unapologetic total journalism.
WSJ tops Page One with its piece about Amazon — “a company that prides itself on frugality” — bidding $40m for Melaina’s doc, “nearly three times the next-closest offer,” after dinner with Bezos.

A (probably silly) question for my English friends.

I have this banknote from a previous trip to #Scotland. Is it valid and usable in #England? Thanks.
