It costs roughly £200K to show an ad to every adult in the UK on Insta, Facebook, X & Google. With £72m in crypto donations, Reform now has enough money to repeat this every week until 2029. Dodgy ads already shaped Brexit, we can't afford to let it happen again. We need to scale up our fight.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

This is extremely serious. A former Southern Water CEO has been charged with conspiracy to defraud the Environment Agency. Reportedly, this is the first time criminal proceedings have been brought against a former UK water company chief executive.

I see Labour MPs still announcing stuff on X, a platform specifically designed to make people hate them, 100% shaped to push them out of public life and which would ideally see many of them in prison. Funny old world.

I started wondering which soccer leagues feed the most players into #WorldCup squads, and ended up building this little app to answer it: boots.to

All the right now has to offer is conflict. Some of its key figures have moved on from culture wars towards what seems to be a deliberate effort to foment civil war. If you're a conflict entrepreneur, the worse it gets, the better it is for you. Where they break, we must mend, building community.

A progressive majority can be invisible. If we stay divided, an extremist minority wins on a fraction of the vote. We’re joining @compassoffice.bsky.social to demand strategic cooperation. Let’s act like a majority. Sign the letter: forwarddemocracy.com/neighbourhood

The majority isn't small – it's just divided.

What may be the most heartening part of #AtmosphereConf, besides the community, is that it's a *technical* conference at which people present on politics, authoritarianism, epistemic challenges (in the opening keynote!). Because, for technologists, *that's* the job.

Other people have OpenClaw deleting their emails, so I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't worse. However this is like the 3rd or 4th time beads has randomly nuked my issue data in various repos. On top of that, the commands are constantly changing and none of the docs / skills ever keep up.

In Hypercerts we're making fairly heavy use of strongRefs precisely for this reason - so that integrity checking is available as an option. People don't have to use it though.

Adam Spiers @adamspiers.org · 25/01/2026
strongRef because at least then you have the _option_ of comparing CIDs. That integrity check could be useful in many cases, e.g. seeing whether a post was edited after you liked it.
