Hey, just when water is about to become critically scarce, let's build thousands of massive AI data centres that use millions of gallons of water per day! But... why would we want AI, then? You don't want it. You don't need it. You didn't choose it. But we'll give it to you anyway. Because profit.

We talk about the climate crisis, the energy crisis, the housing crisis, the food crisis, the pollution crisis, the water crisis... Why won't we talk about the root cause of all of these crises? Pondering the effects and symptoms without addressing the cause will never solve anything. 🤔🤷‍♀️😞

As we have record breaking heat wave after record breaking heat wave, it's comforting that our latest response to climate change has been to rush the construction of a thousand data centers that drink all our water and generate more CO2 than a couple industrial revolutions. JFC.

I'm well aware that I have a one in 8.3 billion chance of getting noticed, but I do try to promote my novel. It seems especially cruel that scammers prey on writers who dream of wider audiences for their work. Even if there WAS a genuine enquiry, nowadays I'd delete it assuming it's spam 😞

Someone I know was attacked last week. He was out riding his pushbike when 3 young adults stopped him & asked for money. When he refused, they beat him up & stamped on him. One of the 3, a girl, then told the others to stab him, so they did. This really got me down. Society is circling the drain. 😞

Now we're receiving warnings that AI can perfectly imitate the voices of friends, colleagues & family members, so a call from your spouse, child or workmate could be a scam. We've created a world where trust is obsolete & dangerous, & where genuine human interactions must be tainted with cynicism.

The Earth whispers its limits long before it breaks. Floods, heat, vanishing forests. We just stopped listening. Progress that needs an apology from the next generation is not progress at all. A fragile planet in careless hands. That is our real crisis. Respect is the fix. #EarthCare

A couple of days ago, a deer wandered through our wild garden with her 2 fawns in tow. Yesterday, a slow worm slid past me, all silken metallic curves. And tonight, I spotted a glow worm's bright green light, fel magic amid the dark grasses. Man I love #nature 💚💚💚

Why are we surprised 😮 when scientific studies prove that animals have intelligence, feel pain, learn, play, and demonstrate emotions? Let's face it, many of them show more compassion, wisdom and decency than humans. We're just too stupid and arrogant to recognise it. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️💚

Let's assume we invented a time machine and have invited Charles Darwin to the present day. We preserved Down House for him where he can adjust to all our modern technologies at his own pace. Over tea, someone casually mentions that the UK had lost close to 2/3s of all insect biomass in three years.

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

We’re just getting started. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!
Six years ago, we started MeidasTouch with zero followers—just a deep concern that people weren’t getting the truth and a belief that we could help change that.

No big backing. No built-in audience. Just a mission.

Today, that mission has grown into a movement.
Over 9 BILLION views on YouTube alone.
More than 14.5 MILLION followers across platforms.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Everything we’ve built, every report, every video, every breakthrough moment, has been powered by the Meidas Mighty community. People who believe facts matter. People who believe democracy matters. People who refuse to stay silent. People who show up, share, and stand up for the truth.

This is your movement as much as it is ours.

Six years in, and we’re just getting started.
