"Gouged" is OUT! I started this book angry about all the ways corporations are ripping us off. I finished it hopeful, because once you know how they're doing it—you can start to fight back. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this. Now go read it.

Millions of graduates are being ripped off by sky-high student loan interest rates. It's time for Andy Burnham to fix this unfair system in the upcoming Budget so balances stop growing faster than they're paid off. Add your name if you agree: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/an...

"If a resurgent movement demands action, we finally have the tools to make that demand matter – a working planet that runs mostly on sun and wind is in tantalizing reach," writes @billmckibben.bsky.social. "At the last possible moment, with backs to the wall, we still have our face to the sun."

Fantastic to speak at the @Livetheatre for #RadicalNorthEast about how we can build on the legacies that have shaped our region. From the fight against slavery and social reform to engineering, innovation and new technologies, the North East has always challenged what is possible.

Palantir should not be operating in the UK, and they should certainly not be allowed to hire Lord Tom Watson who has privileged access to sensitive information. It shouldn't even be a question, Tom Watson should be removed from the Lords today.

You _might_ have missed the point of the metaphor. I'm not trying to suggest legalese is an actual programming language. I'm saying a supply chain attack on the law looks exactly like this. Same with the "public-private revolving door", it's a similar thing.

FUN FACT: The reason we sell petrol by the litre but measure performance by mpg is because in the 1970s oil shock, British pumps had exactly the same issue and it was easier to put stickers over the word "gallon" rather than retrofitting all the dials.

We need to start regarding our laws themselves as 'Critical National Infrastructure' and understand and defend against the ways that bad actors can gain access to the lawmaking apparatus and make pernicious changes. Lobbying is one way this happens, basically it's paying to change the law.

This got me thinking that what is currently happening in the USA can be understood as: 1. Get access to user `POTUS` account (by fair means or foul) 2. Escalate privileges to `root` (turns out minimal protection) 3. Move laterally into other areas of law 4. Disable firewalls and install APT agents

At least we can applaud the fact that the Law is generally 'open source' - we as ordinary people have access to the written law and can see what changes are made. It's something we must always fight to maintain.
