I feel like it's that moment when we're standing around choosing dodgeball teams, only it's not dodgeball so much as the next world war. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today I m being kept up by the sudden thought that if there is a WWIII and the US, Russia and China are all on the same side, I’m pretty sure we’re all fucked. Please can someone tell me I’m catastrophizing and we won’t all get the shit bombed out of us?

Can someone point me to the article linking Reagan tax cuts w the colonization of the sky that is Starlink? And if it does not exist, could someone pls write it?

So much alarmism around immigration. Who does Starmer want fewer of? International students who want a world-class British education and pay £100K to be here temporarily? Maybe he wants fewer high-income workers with specialist skills? Or we could stop letting people in from HK and Ukraine?

I've calculated the numbers from original ONS published stats now. If we exclude international students (as all countries do), the net migration figure for last year is 470,000. Of whom 376,000 came for work. Half of the rest were HK and Ukrainians. That is the non-sensational headline for today.

ok, I'll admit I'm worried. Yes, let's enjoy what we have while we have it, but it all feels so precarious: bluesky's exponential, rapid growth w a tiny team and a fledging business model and the fear/wrath of behemoths & oligarchs w various devious ways to take it all down. Reassure me.

Friends, the world is a difficult place, and we are in the middle of a dangerous, uncertain time, but there are still snowy mornings with good friends sharing an icy dip in the sea as the sun sneaks up through the clouds.

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

...Does nobody remember Cambridge Analytica? All those Russian troll farms carrying out their political technologies? The focused and deliberate weaponisation of SM by MAGAnauts? Musk's deliberate trashification of The Other Place? Were there not really important lessons to be learned? 4/4

...For all the handwringing by the estblmnt Dems about eggs and be nicer to MAGA etc, I'm not seeing much asking abt the complete transformation of information delivery and how the industrial troll complex and Putin and the white power right has been shaping what ppl actually think they know. 2/

But can we talk about information systems? Political technologies? The evolution of Truthiness as a discourse? Where and how ppl actually get their 'news'? 1/

The weaponization of the accusation of antisemitism against ppl opposed to the Palestinian Genocide has done so much damage to the fight against antisemitism You use it to describe students horrified by kids getting slaughtered enough it becomes another meaningless word like 'terrorism'
