I am horrified to learn that the crypto fascists and feudal tech overlords are citing lifelong socialist and humanitarian Iain M Banks as an influence

If you want to understand what's what re generative AI, follow @doctorow.pluralistic.net and read his book The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, along with Enshitification. No one is doing a better job of analysis and critical thinking on the subject.

Oh #JonRonson why have you forsaken us? So many people publically shaming others, and they know not what they do.

Farage: epic grifter

While remote working can offer flexibility and autonomy, one study of 200 individuals identified its negative effects on well being through social isolation and blurred work/home life boundaries (Hwang, 2025).

New analysis shows that paid work – and not screen time – is the biggest reason people are spending more time alone ⤵️ buff.ly/v7pfxOa

When politicians and media say ‘difficult choices’, that’s code for working class people about to be screwed.

Went to that other Island. It was lovely.

Green energy jobs are forever jobs. Oil will run out, gas will run out, while green energy is sustainable and will go on forever.

Parkrun is definitely not bobbins

It would be nice if, on a hot sunny day, the @peakdistrict.bsky.social, spent its time advising how swimming can be done safely without impacting wildlife, rather than acting like the most normal thing in the world is a dangerous act of criminality. #RightToSwim

This couple’s entire tiktok account is them singing decades old songs to their baby and I am hooked 😃 Sade- Smooth Operator

I love this #TwinPeaks illustration by Tom Kerr for “Asbury Park Press” on Sept. 26, 1990. For 10 years, Kerr also drew McGruff the Crime Dog for the National Crime Prevention Council. These kinds of early 1990s drawings as fascinating to see. twinpeaksblog.com/2026/05/23/a...

It is natural for people to turn away from what they don’t want to believe. Denial and victim blaming echo basic psychological defenses in the face of the difficult truth that yes, there are monsters, and yes this could happen to anyone

Liz Stein, befriended and abused by Maxwell and Epstein, has a powerful message for other survivors: keep on telling people until you find someone who listens

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud. People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.

Things people often say when buying a bicycle which they ought to consider when buying a car: “it’s too big” and “it’s too heavy”.

How does authoritarianism spread?: propaganda; conformity & obedience; moral disengagement; dehumanisation; systemic racism; perceived helplessness. Psychologists, let’s not be silent about all this. www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/12/a... @bpsofficial.bsky.social @psychmag.bsky.social

The Climate Crisis is also a Public Health Crisis www.pointofcarefoundation.org.uk/blog/explori...

We may not be there to prevent trauma, but we desperately need systems of care that can recognise and respond to survivors without retraumatising them

In an age of division and culture wars, we need art that adds nuance and brings people together to debate the issues. IN case Of Emergency did just that

Performative neutrality isn’t neutrality. It’s an active alignment with the status quo and existing power structures. When scientific institutions do this, they don’t protect credibility or public trust; they undermine both, weakening science’s legitimacy as a force for the public good.

Hard hitting piece by @rupertread.bsky.social on the dangers of “climate optimism” - at least 30 years of failure to take the threat seriously has led to multiplying risks and locked-in harm and suffering @climatemajority.bsky.social

Taken together, these wins tell a clear story Renewables keep getting cheaper💚 Fossil fuel projects keep losing in court ⚖️ & grassroots pressure keeps translating into real limits on extraction✊ The setbacks are real, but so is the momentum, built month by month by people who refuse to give up!
