Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

A blessed crack in the fabric of space time has indulged me with the means to listen to the radio mixes that changed me forever in 1993.

Spotify's HQ in L.A. has a 150,000 sq ft campus. Now those buildings have light projections showing men in balaclavas with text like:

"Spotify, Don't Stream Fascism"

"Tell Spotify, Get ICE Ads OFF THE AIR"

Reddit: "Spotify is facing backlash for running recruitment ads for ICE on its service."

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
