Ivan Mehta /
TechCrunch: Meta Threads is testing pinned columns on the web, similar to the old TweetDeck

Tom Warren /
@tomwarrenuk@threads.net: I'm liking this TweetDeck-like view for Threads on the web. It's simple and needs more features, but it's a good start 👍

Andrea Contino /
@contz@threads.net: The worst thing at the moment is that some of the searched terms tabs are not showing in a chronological or reverse chronological order, but just randomly. @mosseri that needs to be fixed.

Steve Drumwright /

Dan Kennedy /
@dankennedy_nu@threads.net: Exciting news, but what made Tweetdeck so powerful was that you could devote columns to lists. We need lists.

Austin Warren /
@austin6warren@threads.net: I've almost exclusively used Threads on mobile, but this new desktop view that allows for separate columns is really nice. Immediately it's helping me to keep up on news vs the conversation in data threads. Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with how the team is continuing to improve this place. …

Casey Newton /

Nicholas Dawes /
@nicdawes: New York communities need a diverse ecosystem of news outlets that meet them where they are, on the platforms of their choice, for profit, nonprofit, cooperative. This subsidy props up one (important) slice of sector at the expense of audiences hungry for quality news.

Nicholas Dawes /
@nicdawes: The structure of the credit excludes nonprofits, which are doing some of the most vital accountability reporting and community journalism, and it shuts out publicly owned broadcasters while leaving a giant loophole open for listed print chains.

State of Play

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:

  • Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
  • Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
  • Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
  • Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. 

On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
