Alt: Middle aged, white man wearing a purple scarf with short cut hair and green eyes. His face looks weathered like a Norfolk sand dune lashed by the North Sea, from too much worry about the state of humanity, how we fail ourselves over the natural world, and why tiny dogs bark.
This man deserves to suffer a life-changing injury that leaves him mentally intact, yet requiring another person to wipe his bum and feed him baby-food.
Put Sky News on where Robert Jenrick is masturbating to the sound of his own prejudice, jerking off to the idea of forcing children into poverty, and frothing at the mouth at the prospect of forcing students to be good cogs in the capitalist machine like a Tory with a kettle lead around his neck.

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go
Meditate today, even for just five minutes.
Self-compassion is the key to everything, and it starts by spending a few minutes working with your own mind.
I've taken the paywall off this in case anybody fancies a read.
I promise it's worth it.
I mean, I would say that, wouldn't I, but I do promise it is.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
Do we want to leave for future generations a world ruled by love, peace, and good relations between all humankind - and in harmony with the natural world upon which our very lives depend? Or do we want to continue fighting, warfare, domination, and the corollary instability these things bring?
Russia and America are rogue states. China is not.
The sooner European elites stop trying to "win" in the face of facts, the better for the whole world.
China would drop allegiance with Russia tomorrow should Europe align with them - and the world would be a better place for it.
Looking at this 2019 article with hindsight is wild. It’s a great reminder that despite Zelenskyy taking a milder stance toward russia than Poroshenko, Putin still launched a full-scale invasion regardless. Appeasement to russia dosent work.
Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason.
He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.
There is no reason for a "cost of living crisis". There is not really such a crisis. What we are facing is a crisis of legitimacy of the economic and social order. And some people wonder why the French are rioting?
That same, very questionable, economic and social order is coming under question from multiple perspectives. It is also the root of the ecological and climate crises.
It's only a planetary emergency if you don't expect more than half the people to die, and believe your privilege will raise your offspring to rule over those who don't.
Labour seem unable to learn that in some situations there is a right side and a wrong side. Sometimes a compromise is entirely inappropriate. There’s no balance to be found between racists and non-racists. No balance between climate change deniers and reality.
"EU & American institutions provided incumbent firms with policy access, enabling them to shape policymaking, leading to weaker policies and slower (clean-tech) transitions (while) Chinese institutions shielded policymakers from incumbent firm lobbying" doi.org/10.1016/j.er...
This is a dangerous religiosity. No politician should ever be in a position to deal out stupid like this, and no people should ever buy stupid like this.
West Bank settler violence is so out of control that even Marco Rubio is calling out Israel. A US photojournalist in a PRESS vest was beaten until her spine broke. European diplomats attacked. 170+ terrorist attacks in 3 weeks. Condemnation obviously isn't enough. When does this terrorism end? smh 🤦🏾♂️
My hour-long documentary about wildfires in Europe and their links to organised crime, corruption, big business, fascism, and far right politics, and community as a big part of the solution is showing in Geneva!

Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."
America is a rogue state - in this example killing Ukrainians to aid Putin's rogue Russia, in order to *checks notes* try to bribe US citizens into voting Republican in the midterms.
I had already noticed some of the work the article mentioned, but it dawned on me that I hadn’t any pictures. So as I had to walk a bit anyway, I made up.
Here’s some from some of the places mentioned in the article. 👌🏻
People are reading this as Faber abandoning Rooney because of how @thebookseller.com have worded the headline of their paywalled article. This from the Guardian is clearer:

"We had our chance to make incremental changes, but that time is over. Only a root-and-branch transformation of our economies and societies can save us from accelerating climate disaster."
Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP.
How's that root and branch transformation going?
Oh.
Is that why white Christian nationalists are trying to coup America and dig their nails in to Europe too?
I guess it is.
Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume?
Me: yes, that's where I stopped working for the capital-accumulation planet-destruction machine in a dedicated effort to undermine it every way I could by working towards a better future.
Climate DENIAL is far more than just against the science of climate change; it is also against:
- the truth
- honesty
- ethics & morals
- decency
- facts & evidence ...
The list goes on, but I think that you get the picture.
Climate DENIAL is a lost cause.

Trump announces deal to import Russian diesel.
Yet he imposed tariffs on China and India for importing fuel from Russia.
3 weeks ago signed law threatening 500% tariffs on India and China.
Now facing midterm election defeat ... and
Utter bankruptcy of Trump foreign, economic and other policies.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.
