9 d. ago Ben Affleck has dated more Jennifers than there are famous Rebeccas. It’s time for us to rise up | Rebecca Shaw

We need more Rebeccas to become stars. If it’s too late for us, we need a new generation of possibly powerful RebeccasAs someone from a big family who has a lot of procreation-aged friends, not a week goes by without the announcement of a new baby joining us. I love it, of course, and I’ll always give the baby its first “Like”.My favourite part, however, besides the miracle of newborn life etc, is finding out what those people have called the child.

1 week ago In London and Paris, we’ve experienced vicious backlash to climate action. But we’re not backing down | Sadiq Khan and Anne Hidalgo

Around the world, well-funded, organised climate deniers are spreading lies about the crisis. We call on governments and tech companies to step upSadiq Khan is mayor of London and Anne Hidalgo is mayor of ParisAs mayors of two of the world’s great cities, we see every day how the climate emergency is already reshaping people’s lives, affecting the people and places we love. From deadly heatwaves and devastating floods to rising inequality and health crises driven by air pollution, the costs of inaction are not theoretical; they are measured in lives taken, homes destroyed and business revenue lost.Ten years ago, the Paris agreement was signed, marking a turning point in the global fight against climate breakdown. But today, progress is being undermined by a deeply concerning threat: a surge in climate deniers and delayers spreading virulent disinformation. We mustn’t let this hope disappear as the world gathers in Belém at the end of 2025 for Cop30.Sadiq Khan is mayor of London and ...
