Highly-placed government officials are working overtime on a totalitarian takeover of the election to consolidate power for a man who spent last night claiming Iran has dual-use nuclear facilities and drug labs, and who literally does not remember things he talked about an hour ago. Wild stuff.

if NAZA is playing near you, i recommend seeing it. not just because of its exposure of Israeli war crimes, but because it opens up serious questions about modern systems of killing and warfare broadly, and so our complicity in them.

Palantir is working with ICE, it uses AI drones to kill innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information. Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss, Dutch, Portuguese, German & French banned them from theirs

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

New tech should mean: Shorter working weeks. Earlier retirement. More abundance. More time to actually live. If instead it means mass unemployment while a handful of corporations become unimaginably wealthy, that's not technological progress failing. That's ownership working exactly as designed.

Class war continues the abolition of the “triple lock” and its replacement with the “double lock”. To contextualise, had the latter been introduced in 2012, the basic state pension for a single person (reaching retirement before 6 April 2016) would be around £600 smaller than it is today

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.
