Cardinal Robert McElroy, less than a mile from the White House on World Day of Migrants: “We must recognize that in abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation.” He told Catholics to fight every dimension of Trump’s war on immigrants.

Er…Russian petroleum exports are sanctioned. So how could this possibly be true? The truth is that the closure of the Straits of Hormuz has cut off diesel supplies. Like almost anything which he says, this is a complete lie; and like a lot of what he does, it seems aimed at aiding Russia.

Reporters stood at the White House gate this morning holding a federal judge’s order that said let them in, & were turned anyway. No explanation. No comment. Just a president ignoring a court like it’s beneath him. This is an unprecedented, fascist assault on free speech. Free the press!

Again, the view from outside the USA: this is totally deranged and reminiscent of various dictators from history. The illustration has echoes of Big Brother.

This (at a global level) is the major cause of much that ails the world. The uber-rich are now open about wanting power, wanting to get even richer and wanting to keep the masses down. They would happily reintroduce colonialism and embrace imperialism.

Trump posts about a “new” deal with Greenland and Denmark which appears to be just about exactly the same as our current deal with them, but nobody tell him that.
Trump post: BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This corresponds with what I have been told by a contact of mine who is ex-MI6 and now runs a corporate investigations firm. Dunno what the kompromat is, but seems to exist. Though his theory is that Trump is happy to play the “disruptor/dictator”.

So the Trump administration won’t acknowledge the scientific fact that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change, but will investigate imaginary “chemtrails”. 🤪 I remember when the world looked up to the USA instead of shaking its collective head sadly.

After talking with his buddy (boss) Putin, Trump has declared that Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil infrastructure are responsible for the increase in diesel prices. TOTAL BS. Trump's Iran war is the cause. Russian diesel exports are so heavily sanctioned that few nations buy them.

They seem to genuinely believe the problem is snobbery rather than that employers in the UK don't offer many high value vocational quals. Especially not for 14 year olds.

Powerful and important letter about artificial so-called intelligence from Sheila Hayman from Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge, in the FT today
Margaret McGirr’s letter (“AI can lend a hand, but it will struggle to replace one”, July 21) and Chine McDonald’s guest column (“This retro revival is more than a longing for the past”, Opinion, August 7) both touch (sic) on something that should be obvious, but is carefully ignored by almost everyone in the tech world. Namely that our intelligence is embodied, evolved and biological, and inseparable from our bodies.
The brain’s job is to control the body in the world; it is the last organ to develop.
Every square centimetre of our hands (and of the rest of our skin) contains about a 170 touch sensors or nerve endings, sensitive to different kinds of touch: a slap, a burn, a caress, a hug — each of which travels to different parts of the midbrain, prompting the appropriate response. Quickly to the autonomic nervous system for something dangerous; more slowly via a different channel for something carrying meaning.
In addition to the hand’s limitless versatility, it is self-repairing, regulates its own temperature, knows without being programmed how much pressure to exert on an egg, a tennis ball or a day-old chick, and can fuse neurologically to whatever it holds.
So when we put a glass down on the table or slide a knife through an apple, we feel the table, or the apple, not the glass or handle in our hand (try it!).
Finally, and most urgently, the entire human body — including the hands — does everything on 25 or so watts of completely renewable energy: a tiny fraction of what a humanoid robot, even one of the current primitive iteration of robots, needs.
The “retro revival” is thus not cultural nostalgia.
It’s millions of years of evolution crying out to be heard, before we suppress it totally in the service of an automated — and dead — planet.
