My latest longread for Noema Magazine explores the possibility that at some point in the future - perhaps 100 years from now, perhaps tomorrow - an eruption from the Sun will bring our networked society to its knees. noemamag.com/the-unseen-fur… noemamag.com/the-unseen-fur…

"Lurking in every space weather forecaster’s mind is the hypothetical big one, a solar storm so huge it could bring our networked, planetary civilization to its knees" | Henry Wismayer in Noema Magazine #longreads noemamag.com/the-unseen-fur… noemamag.com/the-unseen-fur…

Delighted to see my Noema Magazine feature about the threat of solar storms included in this week's The Sunday Long Read. With thanks to Jo Piazza for selecting. mailchi.mp/sundaylongread…

‘What disturbs you the most about the Glastonbury chants?’ ‘They get more attention than the genocide of Gazans.’ Journalist rachel shabi, who is Jewish, weighs in on the fallout of Bob Vylan’s controversial performance.

Interesting in this information dystopia to check up on an article's sad afterlife. Found this A.I-generated podcast about my latest piece on solar storms. Zero intellectual engagement. Zero effort. Dozens of journalists' copyrighted work harvested for ad revenue. Dullards.

Delighted to contribute to this new anthology about a subject dear to my heart (pubs) alongside so many writers I admire.

Greenland, holy shit.

Still daydreaming about this Greenlandic blue iceberg.

At yesterday’s World Cup trophy presentation, Trump refused to get off the stage—they were literally pushing him to leave. Total embarrassment. So the winning team, Chelsea, just photoshopped him out of their official trophy photo. 😂 I don’t know a thing about soccer, but

Hello there – you, the tourist from the USA, I hope you’ve enjoyed our amazing nature here in Greenland. 🇬🇱 —On my way home, I notice the American flag you discarded in Nuuk’s pedestrian street. Next time you visit Greenland, please don’t bring your flag if you’re not going to

My latest - on blue icebergs, pilots in sealskin boots, ancient Norse settlements, and "that idiot". For FT Weekend. ft.com/content/b1b9ce… via @ft

Sunday bump for my latest, in which I got to quote Greenland's ex-prime minister calling Trump an idiot - for good reason and with feeling. A small catharsis. ft.com/content/b1b9ce…

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

"A power-grid failure on this scale, known as a “black sky” event, disrupts or incapacitates every utility that depends on electricity and computer technology. In the modern age, that means virtually everything." — Henry Wismayer for Noema Magazine #longreads noemamag.com/the-unseen-fur…

It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.

Always very validating to make Longreads' top 5 of the week, alongside a fascinating and diverse list of stories.
