Build child care centers. Build health centers. Build community centers. Not data centers. And not ICE detention centers.

You heard that right, Billionaire wealth has more than DOUBLED since 2016. The UK has the cash it needs to invest in our future, restore the NHS & look after those too sick to work. What we can't afford is to let Billionaire's keep hoarding wealth.

Has Rupert Lowe ever specified the period he wants to Restore Britain back to? Their economic policies suggest a modern twist on the 1800's - workhouses, rampant privatisation, eating or heating, zero safety nets & every man for himself beneath the industrial smog in an uncompassionate police state

The next El Niño will be a 'Super' El Niño in size but it will not be super for a lot of people on this planet. Listening to the experts saying "it's ok because we can predict and model this and then governments can act" is the most depressing part.

Can we hurry up and get to post-growth enlightenment please? I told them I'm just imagining this Etta Hulme cartoon but the speech bubble just says "GROWTH!". #postgrowth #postcapitalism #postgreed #growth #capitalism #greed #ai
A black line cartoon by Etta Hulme in 1994 for the Fort Worth Star Telegram showing a cliff with lemmings running across it and a sign saying "Lemmings Leap". The lemmings are running over the edge and tumbling down and with a speech bubble it shows one tumbling lemmings saying "I joined the gang for the usual reasons... Peer pressure, Camaraderie, Joie'de Vivre..."

won't link any of them and regret reading them but the wave of transphobe "the ECHR guidance doesn't go far enough and we're not happy yet, we're actually still the losers, somehow" articles are notable for their almost total abandonment of the "women's safety" argument.

I work with companies that talk big about innovation and ideas, and then create a culture where preserving status is paramount, and everyone is afraid to ask questions or criticize ideas. And instead of supporting human collaboration, they shove in new tech that makes everything worse.

Just as a little brightside: most of the Reform lot who got in last time were booted out yesterday. So the idiots opting for try before you buy fascism are realising the reality ain’t all that and sending it back. Like a Nazi ASOS.

I'd love to have a efficient, user-friendly digital ID card like Sweden but it would need to be similarly decentralized and we need robust restrictions on the usage of our data. How do they expect us to trust a state cosying up to the likes of Palantir and repeatedly misusing private data?

"Hope you find your paradise..." I just got back from a camping trip to find that Rick Davis has passed away. It was his voice, piano playing and funk and blues influences that made Supertramp one of my favorite 70s rock groups.
A photo of a young Rick Davis in a T-shirt and jeans, sat at an ornate piano looking over his right shoulder off camera. A photo of young Rick Davis wearing a shirt and jeans, singing with his eyes closed while playing a keyboard with keyboards all around him. A picture of a middle aged Rick Davis wearing a black suit and white shirt, sitting in a velvet armchair and looking into the camera while holding his hands up in front of his shoulders as if he is playing the piano.

The statement in the image is one line taken from our letter - 'Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community'. If you agree, read and sign our letter and stand alongside 42K+ other likeminded women in the UK who refuse to be used as cover for discrimination: 👉 change.org/nion_women
We see politicians weaponising fear about trans+ people to avoid addressing the systemic issue that actually endanger women.

Not in our name.
