It's time to revisit the details of Operation London Bridge.
With a reign as long as Queen Elizabeth's, many Brits have not known any other king or queen in their lifetime. She was a symbol of stability and endurance to many. When such a significant public figure is lost, it can be hard to grapple with what will come after. In Britain, there may be a 12-day period of national mourning to be expected. There are protocols in place once the monarch dies, one of which is named Operation London Bridge. |

| We participate in the process of our own surveillance every day. The devices that record us aren't buried in our walls (well, sometimes they are, but we'll get to that later): we strap them to our wrists, put them on our fingers, carry them in our pockets, and install them in our homes. We gravitate toward connectivity, and if we do that without ever really asking ourselves "connected to what?", it's not because we're stupid or gullible—it's because the answer doesn't really bother us the way it used to. |

| When it comes to the climate crisis, we hear a lot about water. There's not enough of it out West (or, for that matter, in China), while there is often too much of it in other places. 2019 saw historically destructive floods in the Midwest, and that same year Esquire took a look at extreme precipitation events—and the flash floods that follow—in New York City. |
