My son is slightly younger, but schools reopening after COVID, combined with the failure to address school shootings, have I think contributed to a deep sense of alienation and cynicism about society/governance as a whole in his cohort. They see and feel our failure to protect them.

🚨 Our air is invisible—but its impact isn’t.
From Long Covid to winter viruses, poor ventilation is costing lives.
It’s time to make clean air a right, not a privilege.

Denying young people Erasmus, removing the automatic right for Brits to work in the EU countries (and vice versa), & the erection of other obstacles to travel have, as Brexiters intended, cut our youth off from our neighbours.

Let’s start to repair this.

🧠 Study showing that children's brains are being detrimentally affected by COVID even recovering from mild infection🧪

Yet apparently it's fine to let a neurotropic virus loose in schools & the community 🤷‍♀️

We need a national clear air program now!

Cheonggyecheon is proof that removing highways can make cities better. 20 years ago, Seoul replaced concrete with a stream, and the results are remarkable: cooler temperatures, cleaner air, and 12 million visitors annually.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
