Honestly I'm so confused about Russia, on the one hand we hear they're losing too many troops day after day in Ukraine and are struggling to stay on the offensive, but then we also hear they're just about to launch a wider war on NATO and ww3 is nearly upon us. I have no idea what is going on

Could really do with a coffee but the only cafe here is Starbucks 😕 I will not relinquish my eternal boycott of Starbucks. Be home soon anyway. I'll just make one there

‘Not acting on climate change means a certain World War in the lifetime of anybody born from now on.’ Scientists explain that climate change is a far bigger threat than governments are telling you:

As a Brit independence day makes me a bit.. melancholic.. I'm pleased for them that they got their independence back in the day. But look at what they've done with it, pissed it up the wall. Given it all away to sociopaths, cranks and those who care only for the super rich.

I feel like bluesky is currently about 80% clout-chasing accounts posting AI generated images/memes with an attempt at a left-wing/progressive message, followed by 80% of replies torpedoing them for the incompatibility between their attempted message and their use of AI.

Really bothers me how the media talks about climate change in the context of heat.. it's all been about adapting, like schools need Aircon... And I'm not disputing that. But it is taken as a fact that this will continue to get worse, but the why, and whether there might be anything society could ..

We have created a world that values "wanting" something over actually DOING something, that trusts follower count over expertise, that promotes rage over discussion, that ignores nuance and reduces everything to a meme, that rewards laziness and idiocy and punishes creativity, diligence, and skill.

I've heard it said - and it seems true to me - that no one can remember a world cup that has so little hype or anticipation around it. I can't believe it actually starts today... You don't hear anything about it. Hardly anyone cares. I'm sure I'll watch the England games and hopefully Scotland..

How do you all keep going? I'm beset by intrusive thoughts this morning. The usual background hum of worry about the collapsing stability of our environment & looming threats of WW3, but also hitting hard today is thoughts about AI stripping jobs from us all in the very near future.

Food system collapse before my son does his GCSEs. That’s what’s at risk according to a government report DELIBERATELY BURIED for nearly two years. Whoever this government is serving, it certainly isn’t our children.

I'm tense today. I dont have any strong feelings for starmer, in some ways he seems a solid sensible character but in others he's been a let down... But what I am fearful of is a chain of events like... He resigns, whoever replaces him (and good god let it not be snakey streeting) gets bombarded..

I watch a lot (too many, probably) of fail army type videos. It's got me wondering has anyone ever installed a home pole-dancing pole that has not then come crashing down either injuring them and/or smashing a window, wall or TV? Seems to me it happens 100% of the time.
