Half of British women are turning to therapy and martial arts over safety concerns.

4 days ago | thred.com | Flo Bellinger

A demand for self-defence is the product of cultural self-blame. If you’re a woman, you’ve probably walked alone with your keys between your fingers at least once. Your heart rate has quickened when you hear someone approaching from behind after dark. You’ve pretended to take a phone call when heading home at night. These small rituals may sound overblown to a cisgender man, but they’ve become an unwelcome mainstay of womanhood. And it turns out they’re no longer enough, either.
Opinion - Do we really need another biopic?

What makes the Bourdain project particularly galling is that it contradicts everything the man himself appeared to value. Bourdain frequently mocked the artifice of celebrity. His appeal was rooted in discomfort, in his willingness to say the unsayable (and eat the inedible). A biopic cannot accommodate that kind of chaos. By it’s very nature, a story will seek to resolve a life that was intentionally unresolved. Anthony Bourdain ultimately died by suicide at the age of 61.

What does Mark Carney’s win mean for Canada?

Carney’s campaign presented him as the adult in the room, a technocrat with backbone, and crucially, someone who could go toe-to-toe with Trump. In a media cycle increasingly dominated by spectacle, Carney’s promise of restoring Canadian confidence clearly struck a chord. ‘If there’s not a crisis, you wouldn’t be seeing me,’ he told supporters throughout the campaign.
Trump halts development of annual US Climate Assessment report

1 week ago | thred.com | Anyaa Shrii Kumar

The US’s climate has seen widespread change, with an estimated 1.4℃ since the 1970s. Today, we get news about hurricanes and wildfires in the nation now and then. These disasters are often exacerbated by climate change. For instance, warmer surface temperatures in oceans increase wind speeds, fuelling intense rainfall.

Loneliness has become a defining feature of post-Covid youth. In a world increasingly shaped by screens and filtered through algorithms, young people report feeling more isolated, more anxious and less connected than any generation before them. Remote work is on the rise, and many young people in their mid-to-late twenties will have experienced the better part of their student years learning in a digital, off-site context.

According to ICRI research, between February 2023 and April 2024, record ocean temperatures pushed reefs past thermal thresholds. Studies show the Eastern Tropical Pacific, the Great Barrier Reef, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Indian Ocean face the worst effects.
