For those just joining us, #COP27 is like episode 27 of a drama series about how the whole-stitch-in-time-saves-9 ship has sailed and how some very VERY optimistic people are navigating choppy waters to salvage what’s left. But yeah. There’s no turning of this tide.

António Guterres @antonioguterres

The last 8 years are on track to be the warmest on record. Sea levels are rising at twice the speed of the 1990s. We must answer the planet’s distress signal with ambitious, credible #ClimateAction. #COP27 must be the place – and now must be the time. https://t.co/CQbXh8jTfD

“When one new Yorker gets attacked, I think all new Yorkers get attacked.” Inspector Tommy Ng, head of the NYPD Asian Hate Crimes unit @NYPDAsianHCTF tells me why he’s taking these attacks personally + his message for Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders this #AAPIHeritageMonth.

What a difference a year and a day makes. Covering SARS back in 2003 as a rookie reporter made me a little paranoid when this started to emerge, but even then I couldn't have imagined a pandemic worse than SARS. And here we are.

Moments after President-elect @JoeBiden tells @realDonaldTrump to “step up” and address the protests, @POTUS posts video remarks only to have Twitter prohibit anyone from liking, replying and retweeting because of his disputed claims of election fraud. https://t.co/V2G3IF2fvz
