Why crash the economy, bankrupt farmers and take over federal lands? Get into a trade war with our closest allies… Trump and Musk hinted at their plans during the campaign: Freedom Cities I did a quick TikTok about it in October, and now the picture is getting clearer.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that we have to take a stand against corrupt millionaires and billionaires who have taken control of our country, and take it back before it's too late. DO NOT BACK DOWN. DO NOT COMPLY.

This is just appalling from Labour. We need this money to invest for a sustainable future. And science tells us that we must curb the high-carbon lifestyles of the super-rich in order to avoid climate & nature breakdown. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/04/k...

So here's a curious thing, Jacob Rees-Mogg posted this teaser for his discussion on Rachel Reeves in China, with an image he attributed to Grek (I assume he meant Grok) & it has given her an exaggerated hook nose. I'd love to know how what it was in the wording or algorithm which accounts for that

My forthcoming book has surpassed 5000 pre-orders, not including orders through independent bookshops. I am stunned that this is happening (I've learned 5000 pre-orders for an independent nonfiction book without big media support is rare. I know, humbling numbers compared to YouTube)

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other. Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse. I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.
