Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

The @WHO Director General competition process is far too long and is already paralysing or lame-ducking parts of the institution. In contrast the executive director selection process @GlobalFund is far too short and lacks transparency healthpolicy-watch.news/who-…

Meanwhile, The Global Fund, also in search of a new leader, has taken a very different approach. Rather than having candidates make their interest known

This is a new book, 2025, Cambridge University Press Poor quality print. Poor quality binding. They charge $120 for this. No, this isn’t economic necessity. Publishers are just taking advantage of unwitting consumers.

Which Decolonization? Theorizing Decolonization beyond Decoloniality and its Critics

🌍📚Advance stock alert! As an extreme heatwave grips Europe, the climate emergency is once again hitting the headlines. But in our shift away from fossil fuels, are we exacerbating environmental degradation & deepening global inequalities through our dramatic expansion of resource extraction? ‘The Great Green Grab: Climate Extractivism and the New Resource Imperialism’ by @plebillon explores just this. ‘A tour de force, ruthless in its critique of the colonial contours of the energy transition, yet equally relentless in its search for socially just, ecologically rational and politically durable pathways to an actually greener future. Impressive.’ @triofrancos Available at 20% discount with code GREEN20: tinyurl.com/4f48cy6v
