Just pinning this. Leaving @Twitter as it becomes haven for mis- and dis-information. Will keep account for now in case sanity returns.

Seems like it's time to exit @twitter. After many years and more words in tweets than I've probably had in my books, I can't really support this platform with my time and data. Adios.
Let's go Copenhagen Council! Check out this cool job putting Doughnut Economics into action in the city. Pls share with anyone who could be great in this role. It's a brilliant initiative & may spark many more cities to follow - could your city be next?... kk.dk/ledigestillinger/dygti…

I knew this was coming soon, but it's still amazing.
I remember hitting 5B in elementary school. My father remembers a world at 2B.

Good news at COP27 today:
Nigeria declared its decision to adopt ISSB standards, to unlock capital markets investments in support of resilient development. The most populated country and biggest economy in Africa is a first mover. Humbled by the leadership of Africa.
I was in EU on election day (so strange), but had a big day with the launch of #netpositive in Italiano. Sat down with Wall Street Italia at the @wobi_en World Business Forum (where I spoke). See the subtle product placement.
Who's more 'divorced from reality', Pres Biden for saying that coal plants will close, or Sen. Manchin for pretending they won't?
And who's actually looking out for coal communities. Pretending those jobs will exist in 10-20 years is much meaner...

Send this to everyone you know. You don’t win if the first districts reporting lean your way.
I wish the media wouldn’t report on results until almost all the ballots are in.
Results for some Senate and gubernatorial races may not be known on midterm election night. That’s partly because states have different rules on when they can begin processing mail ballots as well as different ways of voting. bit.ly/3Ecy3Qd
A strong case can be made that elections right now in Brazil and the US have as much bearing on the climate as #COP27
Will Brazil protect the Amazon? (Will there be a coup attempt?)
Will the US head toward autocracy (and definitely pull out of climate agreements)?
Powerful essay from Michael Fanone, officer injured on Jan. 6.
"Americans need to understand why this election is so different: It is our first chance since January 6, to reject fascism. And it’s perhaps our last chance to preserve democracy."

Corporate political responsibility is a new variation of corporate social responsibility, describing the ideal ways in which businesses should engage with the key systems of society: mitsmr.com/3TMA1eM@andrewwinston@elizdo
This is quite the thread on how both-side-ism is such an easy fallback...and so dangerous and wrong. No, there is not equivalent polarization or violence on 'both sides'...
No, no, no. The problem is not “the extremes of political parties” (plural!), it’s not “both sides,” it’s not #polarization.
The key problem is the rise of far-right extremism and the accelerating anti-democratic radicalization of the Republican Party. 1/
