Einstein is still right. It's our apathy that is driving us towards tragedy. For our health, for our planet and for the animals we share it with 💔 But guess what - you can choose to make a change today. Right now, in fact 🍽️

The world’s first trillionaire took away our Ebola response capacity, gave us screwworms, hollowed out our government so he could pay less taxes, and condemned millions of the world’s most vulnerable people to death.

Yesterday's PhD Fest at UU Coleraine finished early due to anticipated protests by far-right agitators. Looking around the room at a glorious and beautiful cross-section of humanity from across the globe exposed the lies of the racists. We will prevail. Beach walk to escape bad feelings.

The AI boom is happily going down the drain although humanity seems to still be on the path of rampant deskilling. Civilization is about deskilling the public & making them slaves to industrial Products instead of homemade goods. Civilization, Capitalism, & consumerism will end just like feudalism!
