It's laughable, not dangerous. A loudmouth with no facts waxing lyrical with complete confidence. Bullshit in other words. And oh look, it's an American. What a surprise. And we're way ahead of you, bud, in knowing who the unreliable "ally" is ...

Absolutely the future for any of us wanting to face the future head on, with eyes open, mind not closed, and with a backbone providing courage and morality. If we're going to hell in a basket, let's fight every inch of the way, and hold our heads up high. 👇

Marvellous. America being left behind on all fronts. And once the break is made, it's likely to be maintained. UN itself next please. (And no, spellchecker, "marvellous" does have a double L in proper English. It's only in improper English it's single.)

Guillotines in the shadows. Pitchforks just as much an imperative. And knitting needles so as to watch. Everyone needs to get with the programme now. For what is coming we need small mutual-support social groups. Not huge selfish bastards riding roughshod on the devastation we'll be dealing with.

Haven Tenerife @janetanscombe.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

One aspect of social collapse will be a simplifying as systems and supply chains break down. We can already see the shakiness but we'll increasingly see the organising. Little groups of mutual support, very much more local than before. Sometimes it'll look like 👇 but it's where we're all headed.

A new inspiration is bringing thousands on Madrid's streets tonight. They'll be remembered after the politicians have been blown away by their own water cannons and rubber bullets. Giselle Pelicot, Maria del Carmen Abascal. French and Spanish old women showing what courage and morality look like.

Panda diplomacy? The last time China gave a US president two pandas, he ended up resigning. I cannot imagine Xi Jinping is unaware of the Ling-Ling, Hsing-Hsing, and Richard Nixon connotations, even 50+ years afterwards. China perhaps making a point for us all. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

France gave the Statue of Liberty. China sends pandas. What do diplomatic gifts mean – and how do you choose one?

France’s offer to the American people was a point made on a colossal scale, and world leaders’ exchange of tokens remains a complex art

It seems to me it's conceptually flawed forhumans, who think a god gave them a brain in order to to use it but who can't even reason their way out of fossil fuels, being the ones who design technology to think for itself ... and expect it not to use the power. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Social collapse before our very own eyes. Some still can't see it, some are in denial, some too busy to think about it - some intentionally so precisely for that reason - and a few others now *collapse aware*. Start with Sarah Wilson's *I eat the stars* if you're not already on the same vital page.

We'll have to stop calling ourselves human soon, or redefine humane. Can't carry on imagining ourselves as decent when things like this go on and pitchforks are conspicuous by their absence.

And again and again, round and round we go. Brits come and think they've left shitty water back in the UK but they're swimming in it here too because the infrastructure hasn't got a hope of dealing with the number - ironically of Brits above all - who demand travel as god's gift to them personally.

All the rest is politics. Or sport. Or whatever else we do with our waking lives, our conscious lives. Behind our loud consciousness, however, is the real meaning. Of life. Of all our lives. Whispering in the background. We're too loud and busy to hear it normally. But it's the meaning of life. 👇

Imagine passing up the chance of chances to be a global icon for fairness and kindness, paying your own support acts from your own pocket which you could easily afford, to be despised for the choice of saying nothing about mass murder. Not taking a side Is taking a side When it comes to genocide.
