What is so important to the ultra-rich that they must seize and destroy the world's resources, hold down wages and crush organised labour, capture politics to reduce the tax they pay, fund the far right to stifle democracy? Here's an answer. A Hermes Birkin 35 Diamond Bag. On sale for £449,555.68

The latest data has the global surface temperature for August 25th at 1.76°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline and more than 4 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 baseline. The planet hasn't been this hot in over 120,000 years. The Climate 8-ball is drunk again.

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death. But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience. broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-digital-...

A Digital Lynching

A practical guide for individuals and organisations when the mobs gather

If anyone is still over on the bad place 🐤, I’d appreciate you giving this thread a retweet over there as I want it to be seen by as many people as possible! Arday deserves for people to know he DID run those 30 marathons And British media denied there was any evidence😢 x.com/monkemma/sta...

🤔 If I was gonna stage a coup song is scary spot on❗ 👇👇👍

Destroying books for AI slop feeding is akin to Nazi book burning. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

My thoughts on the press that hounded Jason Arday to his death… And my personal message to Julia Hartley-Brewer.

The world’s highest IQ score carries the same authority as the highest score in Donkey Kong at a local Dave & Busters.

An ‘intellectual’ Stephen Miller? Why is the incel vibe always so strong in these ‘race realists’? - & I’m aware that Miller and his wife are breeding as if they plan to repopulate the West Bank with their offspring.

I really hope people understand that LLMs CANNOT do what they say it can. That’s why they’re employing forced adoption right now. It’s a classic corporate tactic. It’s not even working well in the big corps. People need to stop listening to these tech bros /broette grifters.

A Professor can be hounded to death by the media for alleged plagiarism but tech companies can plagiarise on a worldwide scale and they’re left alone, celebrated for their “genius”…

Despair is not just wrong. It's irrational. Things can change, at astonishing speed. In fact, the flip might be happening already. My article for the Guardian's climate support campaign. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...

Don’t despair about what’s happening to our planet. That’s what they want you to feel

There are social tipping points when the seemingly impossible suddenly becomes inevitable. Good journalism plays an essential role in helping drive these shifts and shows us how real change can happen
