the grotesque cruelty is the point, but also every one of these horrific spectacles is both a test of what they can get away with and a test of loyalty. fascism, basically

And for every lad or lady wielding a tool, laying a slab and lifting a door-frame, you can be sure there’s an office of overseers billing by the week. Oh, also, don’t forget the facilities rental, aforementioned hoarding, scaffolding, portable toilets and 24/7 security etc.

The good news is that climate change will wipe out fossil fuel industry & bury it in geological history. When that happens, climate will revert back to balance & begin conditions. The bad news is that will take about 10 to 12 thousand years of floods, drought, searing temperatures and ice ages.

So, they going to stream it on Netflix? Who gets to buy advertising slots around this? Undertakers? Rifle manufacturers? Will they have a panel discussion with cutaway shots of the death chamber? Barbaric. I guess they learnt that from Iran, North Korea.

You‘se are all going to regret that. IMHO no single entity should control more than 30% of any sector. . Imagine if you only had one airline? Or a single vehicle manufacturer? it’s like old style Soviet communism

The highway of hate arrives to our devices courtesy of those social media companies that we dare not touch. They rip us off, suck our energy, drain our water and in return they give us division and hate. They are like a kid with a magnifying glass popping ants for lolz. We are the ants, btw.

The government castigates Public Service Workers for taking unilateral action ahead of negotiations. The government then takes unilateral action ahead negotiations with the Public Service Broadcaster. Contradictory? Maybe. Hypocritical? I couldn't possibly comment.

Yet again, the EU surrenders to Trump. After facing pressure from the US State Department, @kajakallas.bsky.social's EU foreign service pulled out of a conference this week at the last minute – because one of the panels dared to discuss American disinfo in Europe.

'Supporting Ukraine is not an act of charity. It is an act of self-interest.' Dr Greg Mills, Dr Karin von Hippel and Raimundo Robredo argue that Russia threatens democracies well beyond Europe, and that Ukraine's battlefield innovation and civilian resilience hold lessons for the West.

And this is why it looks like Israel in on course to slaughter, murder and exterminate every last Palestinian in the region and, as long as the world looks on and does nothing, they will succeed. Noisy and uppity Palestinians in other parts of the world would not be spared either. Global genocide.

The anniversary of terrorist attacks is actually EXACTLY when we should talk about the material conditions that turn people into terrorists. Terrorists aren't born. They are made by the conditions of the world they inhabit. Happy, free, well cared for people don't become terrorists.

We need to change the terms and conditions of elected officials, starting with but not limited to TD's & Senators. Elected on the basis of a clear plan, outlined, costed, time-lined and resourced-mapped *before* election, with clear waypoints that if/when missed might trigger a bye-elction.

The horror of another night underground in Kyiv is how normal it has become. People emerged from shelters this morning after another night hiding from Russian attacks. The world may have grown used to these images. Ukrainians still have to live inside them. Support link is in our Bio.

They have come so far, right back to where they were, slaughtering, murdering, oppressing all around them, and a few decent, compassionate Israelis have their voices drowned by the klaxon of Zionism.

Idea: What if before attending optician for new prescription glasses, spend 48hrs without any glasses, if practical and safe, to allow eye muscles to relax and forget any “muscle memory“ from previous prescription, objective being to have a correction that is least demanding on eye. Discuss.
