Society needs a systems update to cope with climate crisis – my new film explains why
Earth systems expert James Dyke discusses his documentary, System Update: Rebooting Our Future.The Conversation
Yet another creator I know has had to admit that they can't pay the bills.
The entirely-manufactured financial crisis has resulted in every business holding almost all spending: they're not hiring, and they're also not doing any advertising or sponsorships.
I'm able to weather it better than most, but even I've had two months of some ... "negative profit."

Sad to hear.
Outside of the billionaires and ultra wealthy, the whole planet seems to be suffering a similar fate. I wish I knew what the endgame here was.
End-stage capitalism sure is taking it's toll.
@andycarolan yeah, everybody is hurting right now.
Patreon has "exit interviews" for people who stop supporting a creator and right now every single one of them (at least for me) is selecting the "my financial situation has changed" option.
The dotcom crash happened right when I was graduating from University, then when I finally got my career on track we got the 2008 global financial crisis.
I've had enough experience to weather this one, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to? 😩
People are definitely slimming down their subs across the board.
Interesting about the Patreon Exit Interviews. I think in principle, we all want to support awesome creators, but with the squeeze from all angles, it's often difficult.
It has been a couple of decades of heavy hitters with the various crashes... and of course the pandemic and lockdowns.
As you said, it would be nice to not have to weather it all again!
@andycarolan oh yeah for sure. I don't blame anybody for pulling back on spending right now. I think it's a smart thing to do!
It just sucks that we have to do it at all, just because some trust-fund kids want to play with the economy.

#IdiotInChief #Trump on Sunday called into question the future of #Iran’s ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on 3 of the country’s #nuclear sites, contradicting his admin’s earlier calls to resume negotiations & avoid an escalation in fighting.
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!”
kali reshared this.
#Trump’s posting on Truth Social marked a reversal from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth’s news conference that detailed the aerial bombing.
“This mission was not & has not been about regime change,” Hegseth said.
What the admin has made clear is that it wants #Iran to stop any development of #nuclear weapons, w/ Secy of State #MarcoRubio warning on FauxNews’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that any retaliation against the #US or a rush toward building a nuclear weapon would “put the regime at risk.”
#war
But beyond that, the world is awash in #uncertainty at a fragile moment that could decide whether parts of the globe tip into #war or find a way to salvage a relative peace. #Trump’s warning to Iran’s leadership comes as the #US has demanded that #Iran not respond to the bombardment of the heart of a #nuclear program that it spent decades developing.
The #Trump admin has made a series of intimidating statements even as it has simultaneously called to restart negotiations, making it hard to get a complete read on whether the #US president is simply taunting an adversary or using inflammatory words that could further widen the war between #Israel & #Iran that began earlier this month.
[trying to make sense of the senseless]
Up until #Trump’s post on Sunday afternoon, the coordinated messaging by the VP, #Pentagon chief, top #military adviser & secretary of #state suggested a confidence that any fallout would be manageable & that Iran’s lack of military capabilities would ultimately force it back to the bargaining table.
#Hegseth had said that America “does not seek war” with #Iran, while #JDVance said the strikes have given Tehran the possibility of returning to negotiate with Washington.
#geopolitics #US #war
#Trump has frequently threatened other countries, but often backed down or failed to follow through, given his promises to his coalition of voters not to entangle the #UnitedStates in an extended #war [as if promises mean anything to him]. It is not clear whether #Iran sees the avoidance of a wider conflict as in its best interests.

The British government is facing growing political pressure to clarify its stance on the recent US airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy repeatedly refused to confirm whether the UK supported the action or considered it legal.
The UK Foreign Office also denied Iranian reports that Lammy had expressed regret over the US strikes in a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
