A bit "off brand" for me 😄 (that's a joke) but Stath Lets Flats is currently on Netflix and is worth a watch. Might sound a bit OTT but it's literally the funniest lettings-agents-based-comedy I've ever seen 🙂

I promised a man named Alan that I would help him raise funds for the super-important book he will be writing and promoting. He's not far off - currently at 45% of his goal 💰

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide. That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed. End all arms sales to Israel now.

I heard a good analogy the other day that capitalism is like being sat on a bus that is being driven by a crazy person and is heading straight off a cliff - someone in the back says "we should jump the driver and change direction!" but then someone says "no - we might make things worse!" 🤡🤡🤡 ...

The list of US food items that the UK says might now see retaliatory tariffs seriously makes you wonder what the HELL is going on with our global food system?! "edible flours and meals of whales, dolphin and porpoises"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I've had enough people ask me my thoughts on Abundance, that I wanted to weigh in. Thanks to this great review by @davidrvetter.bsky.social, I can just repost this thoughtful review. The data don't support this fairy tale (unfortunately). the-climate-laundry.ghost.io/this-is-abun...

I have seen a lot of support for Ukraine from the tech industry over the past few years (which is great, obviously) but... I don't recall much (or any?) support for Palestine... Why is this? Is the tech industry too embedded within the imperialist narrative? Or are people afraid to speak up? 🤔

Your reminder that the UK is still arming Israeli Defence Force which commits daily atrocities like executing paramedics who save lives then burying in them an unmarked pit hoping their loved ones will suffer a lifetime of not knowing

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for advancing the degrowth agenda 😬

These cooperatives are doing amazing things on broadband. I talk with a different one pretty much every week using ARPA/infrastructure bill money to bring dirt cheap fiber to long neglected towns if ezra klein was actually interested in this subject he could, you know, talk to one

Anyone got any good albums to recommend? Recently have just been listening to Murder Capital, Fontaines DC & IDLES... so would welcome anything in that vein... (also check out Blindness by Murder Capital - my tip of the day).

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

"That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space—a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolence—is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it." Brian Eno: statement www.stopwar.org.uk/article/bria...

I am currently getting flak on LinkedIn for comparing the celebration of H+M sharing their "sustainability numbers" with that of a serial killer who, after serving many years for a range of murders, finally opens up and shares info on the actual number of deaths (and where the bodies can be found).

Putin comes against Le Pen ruling. Authoritarians hates any possibility of legal restraint on their leadership. Trump will doubtless do the same. Journalists do not have to follow this framing. There is zero reason for them to start a report by questioning whether the ruling is democratic.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he wants excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

After Derek Thompson and Peter Thiel’s “anti-woke” Nazi Hanania now it’s Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk pushing Ezra “Effective Altruism” Klein. They are such a lovely crowd those “Abundists” into #TESCREAL fascism & “progress” as in eugenics 🤡

Ohhh I’d been wondering why Ant Middleton had gone full “anti-woke, fuck the government, I’m moving to Dubai”. He hadn’t paid his taxes and had been living off directors loans while trading insolvently!

I've met some of the best people since doing this - and have been heavily involved in one very cool degrowth project 💪 Plus - I've got about 8 other people who have signed up and are willing to also volunteer their skills and time to help those in the degrowth space. More are always welcome! 🐌🐌🐌

For crying out loud why are we discussing the "wrong" name for degrowth AGAIN while the same billionaire networks responsible for the "malthusian" framing been just exposed as also responsible for the "abundist" futures people on the "left and right" are apparently so much more comfortable with? 1/3

The Education Secretary has reportedly 'offered up' universal free school meals as well as free period products and dance, music and PE schemes as a way to save money. None of this cruelty is necessary. The Green Party would tax the super-rich fairly. Labour should do the same.
