  10. In an interview by #Turnbull with #Bloomberg he said #Trump’s chaotic leadership style would benefit China, to the detriment of the US.

    “President Xi will aim to be the exact opposite of Trump: where Trump is #chaotic, he will be consistent. Where Trump is #rude & #abusive, he’ll be respectful. Where Trump is #erratic, he will be consistent.”

    Turnbull said the world was seeing an “undiluted” version of Trump in his second term. #auspol #USPol #RussianAsset #RESIST

  22. This year, #Trump is more #vicious & #erratic than in the past, & the ideas of his closest advisers are more #extreme. Trump has made clear that he would use a 2nd term to consolidate unprecedented power in his own hands, #punishing adversaries & pursuing a #FarRight agenda that most Americans don’t want. “We believe that this election is a turning-point in our history,” the magazine prophesied correctly when it endorsed Abraham Lincoln in 1860. This year’s election is another.

  37. “Wake up to Water” urge Water and Climate Leaders | World Meteorological Organization

    The impacts of climate change are often felt through #water
    - more intense and frequent #droughts,
    - more #extreme #flooding,
    - more #erratic seasonal #rainfall and
    - accelerated #melting of #glaciers

    – with cascading effects on economies, ecosystems and all aspects of our daily lives.

    And yet, for too long water has been a ‘blindspot’ in climate talks and does not receive the necessary urgent priority in sustainable development and disaster risk reduction efforts.

    Water management is a powerful solution for adapting to the impacts of climate change, achieving resilience, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    It is time to “wake up to water,” according to the World Meteorological Organization and other Water and Climate Leaders.

  47. As mentioned in my earlier #post : #SBF is showing #erratic behavior, the signs of a mental breakdown, and I hope he is getting the #mental #Care and #support that he needs. We need to hold him responsible for what he did, but we have a responsibility to extend him the necessary care throughout this process, which will likely take years.

  48. People have always joked that I don’t sleep. Actually it’s more that I work at unusual hours. My #erratic sleep schedule is a function of my mental/emotional #energy cycles, and has been true from a very young age. I used to believe this was part of my #introversion. I’ve recently accepted this is part of my #neurodiversity and #autism.

    It’s still important to be functional during “normal” hours. I feel so much more productive at these other times. #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic
