My fever brain would *not* let this go, but my goodness, 2023 needs to end.

Today's year-end round-up covers five core issues for the world this year: AI hype cycles, climate change and inaction, union power, war, and far right extremism - in the world as in the US.

These issues all feed into one another. Maybe, just maybe, understanding the intersections between these struggles will help ready us for the fight against them all in the year(s) ahead.

Go get 'em, tigers.

@MLClark An excellent read, yet again! Thank you xx

Stuey! Isn't it getting near the hour where you are? Thanks so much for spending some of your New Year's Eve with this piece.

I hope you're enjoying exactly the kind of end-of-year you prefer - ideally surrounded by warmth, loved ones, and a few scrumptious nibbles, too!

Either way, may the coming morn break beautifully - and may the New Year keep you and yours very well. 🤗

@MLClark We're three hours from 2024.
I have a feeling, a premonition even, that it'll be tough but that unexpectedly swift progress will occur in many important areas. I get a sense that the world will breathe many collective sighs of relief in the year ahead.

Here's to you and yours 🥂
