Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming.
Mark these words.
(And I do think global warming is a major risk.)
Low birth rates would be the best thing that could happen to humanity and this planet.

Annie Lennox: “Cyclone Idai is possibly the worst weather related disaster ever to hit the southern hemisphere, with 1.7 million people in the storm’s path in Mozambique and 920,000 people affected in Malawi alone. People have lost everything in their lives on a massive scale. Time for everyone to dig deep.. even if it’s just the price of a cup of coffee.. every single pound, dollar or euro will make a collective difference.” – DONATE NOW
Paul Stanley: “JOURNALISTS And The Media Are NOT The Enemy Of The People. Without the opportunity to hear all points of view we can’t find the truth. Those who want to silence opposition and questions or turn the public against them ARE The Enemy Of The People And Of Freedom.
“Because ALL media coverage of politics is clearly biased now, we should accept that EVERYONE is participating and NOBODY is innocent. THAT is all the more reason we need to hear it all.”
Vicky Cornell: “Heart-wrenching pain for my people. I can not erase the images of bodies found hugging each other when they died in the fires or jumping off cliffs. Prayers are not enough in such devastation ,while hundreds still missing #keepthepromise for #Greece”
Brian May: Sadly, 100 horses have been killed on British racecourses this year. Please sign Animal Aid’s petition calling for urgent action to end the deaths. Over 82,000 people have already signed, but 100,000 signatures are needed for the chance of a debate in Parliament. Time is running out, so please add your voice now. It’s time. Please help by signing.” at this location.

Third Man Records and The Belcourt present Peripheral Visions: THREADS. Originally aired on the BBC in September 1984, this bleak portrait of the devastating effects of a nuclear attack shocked tens of millions of UK viewers. Four months later, it was broadcast in America and became the most watched basic cable program in history. After more than three decades, it remains one of the most acclaimed and shattering made-for-television movies of all time. This “graphic and haunting” (People magazine) docudrama shows the fallout from a nuclear event on the working-class city of Sheffield, England as the fabric of society unravels. The Guardian called it “the most terrifying and honest portrayal of nuclear war ever filmed.” Directed by Mick Jackson (THE BODYGUARD, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE) from a screenplay by novelist/playwright Barry Hines (Ken Loach’s KES) and nominated for seven BAFTA Awards.
Showing July 10th at 9pm, tickets available at this location.

The launch day of the updated paperback version of Richard Branson’s autobiography, Finding My Virginity, is fast approaching – grab your copy on Thursday, July 5th at this location.
Richard Branson:
It’s so exciting to see something you have written on the bookshelves and I can’t wait to hear what you think of the updated chapters. They contain details about the devastating hurricanes that destroyed our home and much of the Caribbean, our exciting new businesses, including Virgin Hyperloop, and of course getting very, very close to space with Virgin Galactic’s latest progress.
“I’ve been asked a few times to explain the title Finding My Virginity – it’s all about never losing the thrill of trying something for the first time. That’s how I live my life every day – trying new things, enjoying new experiences, failing, falling, flying and pushing forwards.
“In this spirit, there will also be a few copies of the new paperback hidden around London on Thursday at places that have played a big part in the Virgin story.”

Jack Horner:
Twenty five years ago today (6/11) I met Michael Crichton in the limo that took he & his wife & me & mine to the theater in Washington DC where Jurassic Park premiered. We walked the red carpet together as protesters yelled their negative thoughts about cloning and genetic engineering!
“At the premiere, my wife and I sat next to Michael Crichton and his wife. The premiere was a fundraiser for the Children’s Defense Fund. The theater was filled with dignitaries. Sitting in the seat in front of me was Muhammad Ali…”
Jack Horner is a paleontologist most famous for discovering and naming Maiasaura, providing the first clear evidence that some dinosaurs cared for their young. In addition, he also served as the technical advisor for all of the Jurassic Park films, and even made a cameo appearance in Jurassic World. One of the film’s lead characters, Dr. Alan Grant, was partially inspired by Horner.
