The narcissistic, psychopathic, empathy free tech bros imagine that the AI will think the way that they do - and destroy the human race. They also say the AI is smart, so maybe it will just destroy them.

The Nepal flood disaster is the latest skirmish in the War against the Climate - or rather the climate's war against humanity. The numbers are horrific. With over 500 dead and more than 3,000 missing,...

Top Tip: When you see the term "AI", just pronounce it as AL - as in, short for Alex. I find it makes the whole thing much less scary if it's just a guy called Al.

If the Nepal disaster was caused by a foreign power bombing campaign, we would be literally 'up in arms'. Should we be treating Climate Change like a war? makeeverybodyhappy.org/blog/war-against-climate

While we are all kept distracted by the key questions of modern life such as, "Why don't you have a Lamborghini, are you some kind of a loser?" The really important questions, "What am I?" and "What is the universe for?" often get overlooked

Argentina have turned this match into a psychological "game" about fouls and the accusations of fouls. Pretty much what Eric Berne describes as "Now I've got you you sonofabitch" in his book Games People Play. England would rather play football

If you are a Roy Harper fan in the Malvern area next weekend, you could do worse than come and see this! hatsofftoharper.co.uk
Jon Pollard plays the songs of Roy Harper - relive the authentic sounds of a classic Harper gig. Saturday March 7th, West Malvern Social Club.

From finger-picked ballads to a heavy-rocking finale loaded with echo and distortion. Roy Harper's unique songs and guitar styles are one of music's best-kept secrets - but you have probably already heard him singing the lead vocal on Pink Floyd's, "Have a Cigar".

Celebrity fans include Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Kate Bush and Johnny Marr (the Smiths). 

For more information and videos: https://hatsofftoharper.co.uk/

The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

Trump is often accused of having no shame, but his dysfunction stems from huge amounts of childhood shame from his father. He already carries so much shame that a little more won't make any difference. The only way to fix this is to solve the problems of inter-generational childhood trauma.

Russia has been meddling in UK politics for a long time and the media don't cover it. Boris, Aron Banks, Farage, all have strong links to Russia, why have they been allowed to disrupt our society so much and with so little scrutiny?
