If you see someone in public distressed, ask someone else to join you to see if they're alright. People do k*ll themselves at train stations, it's not stupid to suggest that you could save a life - but women, for goodness' sake, don't approach a man behaving 'off'. Too dangerous
💚 You can approach someone you're worried about.
💚 You can just ask a question and make small talk.
💚 You can just say 'Hello'.
💚 You can save a life.

This is interesting one. We're on course for temperatures to peak at 1.7-1.8C in the 2040s, according to this forecast covered in @IPEnews ipe.com/news/well-below-2c-p…

Wow, that's quite something, a "non-man".
May whoever wrote this atrocity stub their smallest toe in the foreseeable future.

Super interesting/helpful. Sci-Fi writer Ted Chiang in Lunch with the FT says artificial intelligence is a poor choice of words (quoting s.o else) and "applied statistics" is a better term.
