There's a crisis-in-waiting for our society. AI is being shoehorned in, everywhere, at an alarming rate. Efficacy of AI aside, the near future reality will be more and more jobs handed to AI as employers seek to maximise profits. With fewer jobs and growing populations, UBI is a necessity.

I recently responded to an opportunity to give my thoughts on the hideous cuts to disability benefits. My MP replied. Here is that reply, with my reply to it. Second part of my reply is in the comments. Check out the double-think in the highlighted part. #RedToriesOut

“Eight months on from being elected on the promise of “change”, we’re beginning to see what Labour’s version of that looks like: sweeping cuts to disabled people’s social security. Change, it seems, isn’t coming for everyone.” My col. in today’s paper: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These cruel benefit cuts will rob security from so many – but Labour will lose something crucial too | Frances Ryan

The worst reforms since George Osborne will teach voters that politicians really are all the same. Is it worth it? asks Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

In a nutshell. Herr Starmer and his Gestapo of ministers, along with their Scottish Quislings need a long drop and a short stop.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

We're in the throes of misinformation and distraction. But don't forget Steve Bannon's quote: “The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told Lewis. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” This is where we're at...

It doesn't matter how well documented the BBC's anti-Scottish government bias is, they just carry on regardless. That's called 'propaganda' and it's not done to engender objectivity in informative journalism. They wonder why the number of folk paying their licence fee is plummeting.

They slash benefits, starve weans, freeze grannies, and gut services—no cos they need to, but cos they want to. The cruelty is the point. Westminster’s chasin’ Farage & Trump’s playbook while Scotland gets dragged wi’ them. We love our folk—we dinnae abandon them. Time to break free. 🔥 #YouYesYet

A bold blue and white Saltire with the words ‘The cruelty is the point’ in striking white text. The message is stark—Westminster isn’t failing the people by accident, it’s failing them on purpose. Policies that punish the poor, freeze out the vulnerable, and abandon communities aren’t mistakes—they’re the plan. Scotland rejects that cruelty. We care for our people, we don’t discard them. Independence isn’t just political—it’s about protecting our own.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Apple TV+ is free this weekend. My utterly biased suggestion: Little America. Every ep is a short film based on true stories of immigrants to America. Some are funny, some are moving, some are thrilling. We wanted to make a show about immigrants that was, before all else, entertaining.

There's a perfect storm coming and it favours independence: Red Tories in Westminster, 'Scottish' Red Tories in the Scottish Parliament aiding and abetting their London masters in attacks on myriad vulnerable groups and Farage looking more and more likely to be PM at next GE. #ScottishIndependence

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Currently listening to Spanish band Jarabe de Palo very loudly with the window open & the TV off continuing my 60 year plus tradition of avoiding the monarch's Christmas platitudes. If Charles was serious about Xmas cheer he could pay his taxes & stop protecting his abuser brother. #NotMyKing
