Anything that could give people pause to believe that those in control actually have no idea what there developing and all they want to be is the first. We’re not supposed to ask the first to what. Eat bread, play games and consume product quietly, that’s what they want. So more dross and floss pls.

AI is an ego driven tech, people with more influence/money than sense are in a death race to see who can birth the next gen AI. There is no stopping this death cult, its only logical conclusion is the destruction of all our water sources and the total subjugation of the masses under its thrall.

Almost 9 in 10 people felt more motivated to act on the climate and nature crisis after watching a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, according to a large-scale academic study by CAST with the National Emergency Briefing. 📽️ Read the briefing: cast.ac.uk/wp-content/u... Key messages 🧵
Cover page of CAST Briefing 48 (October 2026) featuring a large photograph of a People’s Emergency Briefing event inside a cathedral-like venue, with attendees seated facing presentation screens. The headline reads, “How the People’s Emergency Briefing turns environmental concern into civic action.” Key messages are summarised in bullet points below.

As part of #Throughtopia should we be moving through and away from this need to claim a title or credit. We should be humble and remember we were but one of many and we all were instigators in path towards change. Moving away from titles and #Patriachy is the most important part of moving through.

We often have a skewed view of our role in the history of the movement. We must remain humble and stop virtue signalling our roles within its founding as that is egoistic and part of the patriarchal system that had brought us to the ecocide and climate breakdown.

New research finds fact-based messaging, such as explaining the greenhouse-gas effect, increased likelihood of people engaging with climate action. But communications designed to evoke emotions, such as awe at the beauty of nature & fear of the threats it is facing, were among the most successful.

Gas from the North Sea #Jackdaw field would make a tiny contribution to UK energy supply & do little to lower energy bills or improve energy security. Worse still, climate damage caused by Jackdaw's extra fossil fuel emissions would outweigh any economic benefits several times over #EndFossilFuels

So these discharges into the sea cant be down to rainfall, we see it’s their lack of investment in up scaling infrastructure. Their underinvestment has led to a system that is not fit for purpose its current purpose is to enable gargantuan profit margins and obscene pay packets for its top brass.

Why do ministers think that there legacy is written by how much change they have made. Change for change sake is often detrimental & a backwards step. The excuse of “removing red tape” is used to justify this type of consolidation. The only thing that brings us less variety and less accountability.
