• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burnham Rules Out Coalition With the Green Party⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The word “antisemitic” has been weaponised and worn out to the point of meaningless now.

  The Greens are the only mainstream political party in Britain speaking out against an ongoing genocide. As such there is literally no other party I can bring myself to vote for.

  Good point.

  He seems to be doing a pretty good job of self-destructing at the moment though, so maybe he should just be left to do it by himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jury sworn in for Russell Brand trial on rape and sexual assault charges⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s shaping up to be a cathartic few months:

  • AI bubble bursting
  • Adobe getting shat on by vibecoded software clones
  • Rusell Brand finally getting busted

  We just need something bad to happen to Piers Morgan and we can all get out the bunting.

  Until the government presents some evidence I’m not going to believe them.

  And I’m grateful to whoever it was for getting rid of those US bombers. I’ve watched them flying over where I live, coming and going from killing people in Iran for no good reason. It disgusts me and I’m ashamed of my country letting them do it from here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police unit pulls plug on Palantir AI technology⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But it has decided not to fund a new contract and told the BBC that Palantir will now have to show it has cut links with the force’s systems and deleted all of its data.

  Good luck with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-migrant protesters scuffle with police in Gosport after Channel rescue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the guys at these protests should find the emotional courage to accept economic injustice and climate crisis.

  If they were true warriors and patriots they’d be taking the fight to the top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British government ‘complacent about food as a national security matter’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been surprised how many other people I know have been stocking up on food.

  If you have even a very small outdoor space it’s really worth growing things too. Considering how warm it is this year it’s probably still not too late to get some leaf veg like Swiss chard/leaf beet or mustard greens established for the winter. It only takes a few days of eating only dried/tinned/processed foods to become extremely grateful for anything fresh.

  Bigger picture, I’m finding it hard to imagine politicians finding any money under the current status quo for increased farming subsidies to support changes in agriculture.

  Like lots of other things though, a big shakeup of the food system has the potential for huge external benefits and cost savings though. Diet is an enormous factor in the ‘disease burden’ we are currently throwing money at via NHS and disability costs, and kids who eat well do better in education and grow to their full height, just as a couple of examples.

  Probably worth pointing out as well that there is huge unmet demand for allotments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US threatens Britain over Falklands⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool. The UK military needs massive investment in the green transition to ensure its energy supply in a time of war. The UK military also needs a better water supply, so funding should be increased so that water can be renationalised, more reservoirs can be built and leaks fixed. It also needs better public healthcare so everyone can be fighting fit and get patched up when Russians come for us. And while I’m at it, the UK military needs extra investment in public transport so that more productive output can be redirected to any future war effort.

  I reckon that covers your 5% of GDP, Mr President.

  Even if you are a millionaire. If you had a million invested in a simple index fund you would have got paid about 130k last year for doing absolutely nothing - just for holding wealth.

  If you’re working, it is people with investments like that who are literally depriving you of either higher wages or better state provision of stuff you need.

  The other day I was driving down a single-lane road and there was a guy literally standing motionless in the middle of the road looking at his phone.

  I got right up behind him without him noticing (earphones in) and then blasted the horn.

  I think it made quite an impression on him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Jews⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’m joining the ranks of people who have become radicalised against the mainstream media.

  What’s done it for me has been the reporting on the climate breakdown this summer. Most of the main ‘respectable’ news outlets have acknowledged the role of climate change but I haven’t seen any of them talking about the reality of addressing it and what that means for class structure and the wholesale redirection of productive output. The people who own, run and staff these outlets are the ones who will have their private consumption reduced if Zack Polanski’s policy platform of action on climate change and inequality is implemented, and he is therefore the enemy of them and their class. Because what he stands for also represents the interests of normal people like us, that means we are also their enemy.

  When you understand what is at stake with the climate it’s impossible not to see this class war as literally a fight for survival.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC Failing to Inform Viewers About Climate Emergency, Says Polanski⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely vote green 👍

  However, I suspect that while the media will cover climate issues for clicks (which they have to do to survive), they’ll ultimately continue furthering their own interests as a class by publishing content that delays action.

  Most media is owned and staffed by people who will have to give things up if we’re actually going to tackle climate change.

  So fuck 'em, unfortunately. Like this summer shows; we don’t have time to wait for them to get on board, and we can’t count on them to help.
