There is a growing concern that the negative valence in climate stories paralyses consumers & perhaps even prevents them from taking pro-environmental actions.
However, we found that climate anxiety is a robust and universal driver of pro-climate behavioral intentions.👇

Wonder if this research will get as much coverage (and market impact) as the very much not randomized controlled MIT study…
One of the first randomized controlled trials testing whether GenAI boosts revenue, not just productivity.
It does.
A large, mature international ecommerce platform, using older GenAI tools found most of them, from customer service to marketing workflows, led to large and significant revenue gains

Meanwhile here in the UK, Labour has pioneered arbitrarily declaring an org/movement “terrorism” and is arresting anyone who holds a sign with basically any combination of the words “Palestine” and “action”. “World beating” as someone used to say.
As with most Trump executive orders, this is bluster masquerading as policy. The President cannot, in fact, unilaterally declare that trespassing is now an act of “domestic terrorism,” a term that continues to have no meaning in federal law. This is theater, written for television.
This executive order makes any civil disobedience prosecutable as “domestic terrorism.”

Each time I come to London I talk to taxi drivers about what they’re going through, and what’s really striking is that several of them mention the racial hostility and violence from passengers. Not new I know but it seems like there is a greater intensity to it.
Spoke to a Turkish cabbie last night, who talked about how the English left felt as if it had disappeared; how he felt unsafe and vulnerable while watching the far-right get more popular. He was in his sixties, living in a tiny flat, and called himself one of the lucky ones. Quietly heartbreaking.

Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.
Also frankly I am quite desperate! A party that’s at best ambivalent on the question of whether I’m English and wants to deport my friends is 9 points ahead in the polls and the current leader is floundering and visibly out of his depth!
