A few thousand of us would appreciate an official comment from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Palantir’s organised takeover of NESO.
Phil Sturgeon 🌳🚵⚓️@philsturgeon.com · 3d ago🚨 THIS IS BAD! 🚨 Palantir’s stated goal is to disrupt democracy by getting control of the systems in the name of technofascism.

So I've stopped drinking and so stopped making my own ale, but I didn't stop growing hops. So I'm going to have loads of fresh hops. If anyone wants them then I guess I could post them or collect from Barnet? Retoot for a wider reach? #homebrewing

We're insane in the west... Where a news company moans about how they want to report the devastation and interview traumatized people but china is reporting the rescue effort and how thats bad or something ( Not a fan of Chinese government) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It's all very well having water meters with a private company in charge to help people modulate their water usage, but when they don't read the meter for FIVE years then that excuse doesn't stand does it. It was just a way to charge people more
