I will admit a certain petulance that when we finally take action to mitigate the damage climate change will do, the humanist moral thing will be to help even this guy’s family.
Walking examples of the tragedy of the commons.
Oh, yay, the shitposters and master debaters have shown up. My day is complete.

1) Seeing the responses to this post and the @tvoti thread, I think something we see on the inside developing most people don't see is not only are seasons getting shorter and orders getting shorter, but the medium itself is being jammed into one type of storytelling.
2) Because it's easier to get big promotable and Emmy-bait stars for short runs and the shows can swing dramatically because they don't need to pace for the long haul, along with the natural form of shorter runs (form;function etc) the shows are converging on a style.
3) Basically, it seems insane we built the most artistically successful, most profitable medium on earth on making a wide range of stuff, and now we're going to start making very small style of stuff.

1) Okay, this started as a joke ("I love this thing and must have it!"), but so many people have come out of the woodwork, it seems a good way to showcase some artists, so here's the deal ...
2) If you are a scrappy young artist, Reply to #3 in this post. I'll choose, well, five? Ten? Let's see what the response is. We'll figure out a rough commission fee for a 4-5 panel B&W version of this. Or a great one panel!
3) I'll commission those artists, and both pay them and match a donation to the charity of their choice. And also do a matching donation to @melisscaru charity she mentioned 2020visionquest.org Use the hashtag #Alldogsareworthy Let's see some links!

a) Great news
b) If you're a television writer, reconcile yourself to the idea that 90% of your market is now mini-series with 3 seasons standard, 4-5 max. Internalize that shit.
c) 20 years from now we'll look back at this moment in TV and say "What the fuck were they thinking?"
Seeing the replies, a clarification on c): It's crazy we've killed the procedural or the one and done episode format, mainly.

I think the natural lifespan of a show is five years anyway. It's not that.
I retweeted it, but dropping this into the conversation here

THREAD: In a new study in @nature we present a way to avoid the bias that burdens future generations and the risky strategies that current #climate change mitigation pathways suffer from.

A #climatetwitter explainer

#Fridays4Future #ClimateStrike #ParisAgreement

(1/n)
Existing #ClimateChange scenarios focus on reaching a target in 2100

but by doing so weirdly suggest that the best way to achieve a #climate target is to delay action first, miss it over the next decades, and then to try to make up for it later

(2/n)
This puts put a disproportionate burden on future generations, who:
-will suffer higher #climate impacts in their lives
-are burdened with later cleaning up the mess by actively pulling #CO2 out of the air

This strategy is very risky and can be avoided

Finally had a minute to read this. Lots of thoughts. First, I agree with most of it, and have been saying the same thing for years - that big splashy design firms exaggerate the value of their work re #climate, a lot. Thread.
placesjournal.org/article/design… via @PlacesJournal @joobilly
But the tone is so busy being snarky about that, and about @joobilly's idea that no landscape architects understand movement politics, that it erases an enormous amount of good work and writing by others in the field - as if we don't exist. 2/n
I said the same thing about Waldheim's version of landscape urbanism. This is turning into a theme. Are you a white guy who wants to criticize landscape architecture for not being more relevant? Try looking at the work of women in this field! HELLOOOOOOOO out there! 3/n

THREAD| Draft of the #Climate Change Act, presented by (@bmu) this week: The proposal is a framework law, featuring elements from international acts, e.g. from UK (@theCCCuk). In contrast to the German Climate Action Plan 2050, it will be legally binding. #Klimaschutzgesetz
2| The framework law includes emission reduction targets, defines CO2 budgets for each sector, and clarifies responsibilities, as well as review, transparency & sanctioning mechanisms. Implementation measures for each sector will be detailled in 2030 programmes, due in Mar 2019.
3| Progress will be supported by an independent advisory group of 7 experts. Focus is on reaching the 2030 CO2 reduction targets, but the draft works towards at least 95% reduction by 2050. The remaining 5% to reach #netzero could be reached through compensation policies.

“Information is not enough for people to act.” #climate psychology, activism and anxiety by @FridaHylander at @SkaneXr @LUCSUS_LU
What's needed for people to #ActOnClimate? @FridaHylander uses "Model of helping" to understand #climate psychology.
To motivate action, people need to:
1. notice an event
2. interpret the problem as an emergency
3. feel personal responsibility.
1. Notice event- barriers to notice #climatechange include:
Humans perceive emotionally, not rationally
Slow gradual threats seen as risky as fast, vivid ones
"villains" are easier to blame than nature
Living in cities, far from nature
fragmented knowledge

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)
