Anyone else reading #EquatorMagazine ? https://www.equator.org/about
While I don't love that their online distribution is through Substack, I'm really enjoying the first print issue. A mix of content similar to The Atlantic, but shifted on a very different axis, so to speak.
Some faves from the first isssue: Homeland Empire, Nikhil Pal Singh; The Gods Are Still Crazy, Carey Baraka; and Statemania, Rahmane Idrissa.
If you're also reading it, what have you liked?

Communication styles of BRICS countries within the SADC context is essential for making informed decisions, fostering effective collaborations, and successfully navigating the complex landscape of this regional bloc. It requires ongoing research, cultural awareness, and adaptability to thrive in the diverse and dynamic environments of these nations. @[email protected] ·From Storms to Survival: El Niño, Frankenstein, America, War, and the World Cup — A 19-Theme Global Journey Through History, Crisis, and Human Resilience
19 Themes: From El Niño to Frankenstein, America, War, and the World Cup — A Global Story of Survival
History shows one truth: humanity adapts. From famine to floods, from war to sport, every crisis creates new stories, ideas, and identities.
Theme 1: Nature Writes History
History is often shaped by nature—droughts, floods, and climate shifts have changed civilizations.
Theme 2: El Niño and Southern Africa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWkOD_ukuE0
El Niño has intensified drought in southern Africa, affecting food systems and migration.
Theme 3: Northern Namibia and the Rain Crisis
Northern regions face both drought and flash floods, showing climate extremes.
Theme 4: When Heavy Rains Change Culture
Storms have inspired stories, myths, and literature for centuries.
Theme 5: The Story of Frankenstein
Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley after the famous “Year Without a Summer” in Europe—caused by volcanic climate disruption, not El Niño or the Bahamas.
Theme 6: Lords, Poets, and the Birth of Horror
At Lake Geneva, Lord Byron challenged guests to write ghost stories. That night helped create Frankenstein.
Theme 7: Queens and Power in Times of Crisis
Royal power often shaped responses to famine, plague, and war.
Theme 8: Nuclear War and Human Fear
The Cold War created global fear of annihilation.
Theme 9: Crisis Creates Innovation
Wars and disasters often accelerate scientific breakthroughs.
Theme 10: The Spirit of United States
America’s story is one of reinvention—immigration, innovation, industry, and resilience.
Theme 11: America and the Global Story
The U.S. has shaped global politics, culture, technology, and sport.
Theme 12: Migration in Times of Hardship
People move when survival demands it.
Theme 13: Food Security and Global Hunger
Climate and conflict continue to threaten food systems.
Theme 14: Sports as Global Healing
Sport often unites where politics divide.
Theme 15: FIFA World Cup and Global Identity
The World Cup tells stories of nations, pride, migration, and identity.
Theme 16: Southern Africa on the World Stage
African nations carry regional hope into global tournaments.
Theme 17: History’s Lesson — Adapt or Fall
Empires rise and fall based on their ability to adapt.
Theme 18: The Future of Climate and Conflict
Climate change may become the next great test of human resilience.
Theme 19: Humanity’s Shared Story
From Namibia to America, from famine to football, from literature to war—the human story is survival, creativity, and adaptation.
Final Reflection
History tells us that nature, crisis, and imagination are deeply connected. Whether it is El Niño in southern Africa, the creation of Frankenstein, the fear of nuclear war, or the joy of the World Cup, each chapter reminds us: humanity endures by adapting.

Hype for the Future 50I: The Equator
The Equator covers what may be the widest latitude belt on the surface of Earth. Located approximately midway from north to south, the equatorial plane crosses land in Ecuador 🇪🇨, Colombia 🇨🇴, Brazil 🇧🇷, Gabon 🇬🇦, the Republic of the Congo 🇨🇬, the Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩, Uganda 🇺🇬, Kenya 🇰🇪, Somalia 🇸🇴, and Indonesia 🇮🇩.

https://www.equator.org/articles/farewell-to-podemos
This piece might be a useful starting point for a discussion of the failure of left populism in Europe.
I''m going to be keeping an eye on "Equator", a new periodical of the left, although I fear that it might be serving up large portions of reheated Third Worldism and "Israel is the source of all the world's problems" nonsense.

In just about ten and a half hours time, the September #equinox will occur as the #Sun crosses overhead on the #Equator on its apparent journey to the #SouthernHemisphere. This means #Autumn for us in the #NorthernHemisphere and #Spring for the rest. The Sun rose due #East and will set due #West here, for only the second time this year.

The #VernalEquinox (in the #NorthernHemisphere) will occur in about an hour and half’s time of positing at 09:01Z. The #Sun will be precisely overhead at noon on the #Equator just off the coast of #Somalia when this happens. For the whole planet, #day and #night will be of equal length (as makes no odds) and #Sunrise will be due #East and #Sunset will be due #West. Roll on #Spring.

So for me, the #LAFire is just another reminder that I have to step up my rhetoric regarding #refugees -- because there will be #climate refugees, not from the US, but from the global south.
Countries in the #Mediterranean let alone nation states and island states in or around the #equator will be in danger of great climate change issues.
It's coming ya'll, so prepare yourself to fight #bigots, #racists and other idiots by reminding them that our convenience is what lead us here.

40 years ago today, aboard RRS Discovery III on my first trip to the Southern Ocean and #Antarctica, we crossed the #Equator into the Southern Hemisphere. King Neptune's court convened on the foredeck to charge and punish all of us newcomers, after which we were baptised in a makeshift pool.
Two of the photos here show me receiving my punishment and then using the shower in the pool to try wash off some of the sticky gunk that had been poured over my head. I would credit the photographer if I could remember who I lent my camera to.
I remember that I was charged with "duplicity", on the basis that I had asked to make several dozen photocopies of seismic observer's logsheet templates I had designed following the preceding trials.

In three hours, at 12:43Z, it will be the #Equinox; #Autumnal in the #NorthernHemisphere and #Vernal in the #SouthernHemisphere. It’s marked by the #Sun being directly overhead at the #Equator at local #Noon, or somewhere in the eastern #AtlanticOcean this time, Here, there has been persistent heavy rain all morning and it presages the transformation to #Autumn.

balance of #phytoplankton populations in sea is shifting as result of human-induced #climatechange altering #oceans in profound ways. When u picture ocean you might imagine sparkling turquoise waters but recent research suggests swathes of world's #oceans may in fact b turning greener. leading culprit might be #climat change. while some waters r becoming more green particularly in low latitudes near the #equator others are growing more #blue as global #temperatures rise. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240517-are-the-oceans-changing-colour-because-of-climate-change

#Geography is a constant laugh riot. Today is a #Springtime #Saturday where I live. For my friends in #Australia (for example), it's a lovely Saturday, but in #Autumn. And I imagine folks on the #Equator don't give a damn either way. Welcome to #Earth. It wobbles a bit.

A Major #Climate System Will Collapse Decades Ahead of Schedule and Unleash Devastation, Scientists Predict
#Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (#AMOC) acts like a huge conveyor belt that delivers warm water from the #equator to the poles and brings cold water back southward to the equator. In the process, the AMOC heats up Europe and cools the tropics, providing milder and more stable climate conditions in both regions.
Collapse would turn #Europe into #Alaska.
