Jamie, Snatcher of Castles @snatcherofcastles.bsky.social · 07/10/2026might be time for governments to start making wholesale changes to the way we go about our lives, because the way we've been doing it seems incompatible with survival 000

Jamie, Snatcher of Castles @snatcherofcastles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yes. It's all about (over)entitlement. All the way down. And it starts by not shutting it down at the top layers of money/power hoarders 050
Jamie, Snatcher of Castles @snatcherofcastles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you're going to read one article about the Man City debacle, read this one. Then the thought of reading any of the others seems a bit pointless 020
