I'm starting to getting rather annoyed at America. I want to de-america my life and stop giving American companies my money. In doing so, I came across this gem. The Fairphone 5. It's worth diving into what they are all about over at @fairphone.com but to sum up, I'll say my favourite bits (1/4)

Again, someone who has managed to fail upwards all the way into the house of lords. @mrjamesob.bsky.social, going back to your show the other day, this is why young people are finding it hard to find motivation to work at the moment and battle with mental health. It's 'what's the point? syndrome'

Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene literally telling a British reporter to "go back to your country" and berating her for trying to ask a question. "We don't give a CRAP about your opinion."

It's dual SIM (esim compatible). You can swap the battery out in seconds (and even carry another battery and swap it over in times of need). Oh, and ethically sourced materials, with everyone involved in making it treated like an actual human being with fair pay and working conditions (3/4)

It brings me joy to know that for at least the next 8 years i won't be forced to change phones due to crippling software updates or non-replacable failing parts. Also, to opt out of supporting and giving money to companies that have sided with a fascist sex offender feels right to me (4/4)

It has a 5 year warranty with a minimum of 8 year software support. If you break anything, each part can be separately purchased and installed by yourself at home with a screwdriver, and it doesn't cost you a limb to do so. You can add anything you like (up to 2TB) of microSD storage (2/4)

I got back home from Vegas last night after spending 10 days there for work, so it was particularly interesting this morning to stumble across the city nerd's video on Boulder Highway. It highlights how car priority is wildly out of control in the US, and what could be done to wind it back in

Hello there! My name is Scott. I don't normally do stuff like this, but here we are. I'm not saying 'if you can't beat them, join them', but I am saying that being vocal is important, and effective.

For now, all I'll say is to think twice about what you see and hear. Ask yourself why certain people and organisations want you to believe what they are saying. Chances are, you won't benefit from any of it, but they will.

I'll try and use this platform to share media that I hope you find interesting and thought provoking. Please feel free to share things with me too. Speaking to people and sharing views in a civilised way is important. I look forward to what might come from this platform. Cheers, Scott.

It's a shame that in the world right now the wrong messages are the loudest, and also the ones being spread the easiest. The rich and powerful provoke hate rather than thought, and they benefit from it.

It's important to sympathise with the conned, and to instead block out and resent the con artists. They are in great numbers right now, and quite literally getting away with murder.

You are up to date.
