I feel slightly less worried by the AI dire warnings when I remember that tech bros live in a world where science fiction is real and we're about to colonise Mars.

I saw this post and wanted to address it. If you look at social media today, you’ll see good, empathetic people admitting they are losing hope. They look at climate change, rising authoritarianism, and corporate greed and feel entirely powerless. If you feel this way, I want

I hate to broadcast this on social media, but I know l am not alone when I candidly state that l am losing the will to live. In my 53 years, I have never known a time when I could not locate a semblance of hope until now. It's only a feeling, but an uncomfortable one, one that makes me feel powerless. The future of the planet, genocide, the threat of being ruled and surveilled by tech overlords, the corruption, amorality, the lack of empathy, fascism on the rise globally w/GOP in support.

Finally some real action on the divisive and unhealthy outbreak of nationalist flag measles in Birmingham since the summer of 2025 Really good to see this community focus from our coalition Council. Well done to all the Brummies United and especially South Brum deflag crews for pushing for this ✊♥️

Tonight BBC radio 4 ran an hour-long advert for “suicidal empathy” (the idea and book) on the Moral Maze, describing its author simply as a Canadian professor, without mentioning his enthusiasm for Great Replacement ideology nor calls for civil war in the UK. That does not seem ok.

Elon Must amplifying a tweet by Gad Saad “There will be civil war” Musk’s comment: Civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when Tweet from Gad Saad: What you are seeing in Britain is precisely what I have been warning about for decades. It is not rocket science. If you take two cultures that are fundamentally antithetical to each other, you'll eventually find out that progressive coexistence is not going to work well. There is 1,400 years of unbelievably clear data that Westerners are choosing to ignore. Read chapters 6 and 7 of The Parasitic Mind and it will all become clear for you. Cure yourself of Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome. See the world as it is rather than the Unicornia that you wish existed.

Turned on the radio this morning and today’s headline news was Reform’s plan to cut £50billion from welfare spending, quoting Reform’s claim that the current system is “suicidal empathy”. The BBC is again calmly reporting fascist ideas as if they mainstream.

The usual excuse behind the rush to build these data centers is "we can't let China get ahead of us". But we seem to have no problem letting China lap us when it comes to renewable energy. Odd, ain't it?

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

An innovative floating offshore solar project that generates electricity and converts seawater into drinking water. The farm near Gran Canaria produces 85 MW of renewable electricity while using that same power to operate reverse osmosis systems that desalinate seawater #ActOnClimate #renewables

Solar panels on football stadiums make perfect sense. The next question: how long until we see parking lots everywhere covered with solar canopies too? Generate power. Provide shade. Charge EVs. #Solar #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #ESG balkangreenenergynews.com/solar-power-...
