Säde Hormio @sadehormio.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I love the Oxford comma. I was taught to use it while I lived in the UK and I still utilise it regularly. I have noticed that AI detectors flag up sentences based on the use of the Oxford comma. This makes me a bit sad for the poor, innocent, and clear little punctuation mark. 010
Säde Hormio @sadehormio.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Robeyns explains how extreme wealth concentration undermines democracies: "A focus on harm is alien to the dominant thinking about money [--] But we need a paradigm shift when it comes to thinking about the negative effects of extreme wealth concentration." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...theguardian.comIs it bad that Elon Musk has a trillion dollars? Yes, and here’s why | Ingrid RobeynsJust as the ‘poverty line’ determines what’s required for basic living, we need a ‘wealth line’ to show when extreme wealth becomes harmful, says economist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns 010
Säde Hormio @sadehormio.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Surprisingly many smart people have recently told me that they think that climate change is not a threat to humanity in the way that AI apparently is.

Säde Hormio @sadehormio.bsky.social · 09/02/2026A lot has been written about the Epstein files lately, but I think this is the best piece. Marina Hyde asks what has anyone in power done to attack the structures and attitudes that allowed the abuse to happen? The answer: pretty much nothing at all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...?theguardian.comSo the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina HydeObsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny.
