Was lucky enough to be interviewed by the Traverse here. Finally, a chance to talk about the connection between Livi Skate Park and the Cromarty oil rigs. Link below.

One of the reasons I think everyone is angry and insane all the time is we gotta do something about these people but we’re not going to and they know it and we know it. So instead we just writhe.

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, admits that the trillions of dollars being used to build data centers and power grids will come from ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, and says it is mandatory. He says America needs trillions in AI infrastructure spending, and that people will be forced to “invest” in it. “Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

Menshur is a fascinating but then you come across a recording of how it was actually done and it's the most "stolen valor" shit you've ever seen.

cannot be overstated how important this is to the rise of reform
Dan Evans@dai_alectic
Reform’s class politics is so effective. Submerges awkward issues of background, ownership & wealth into unifying narrative of hard work (graft), against lazy others who want something for nothing & the bureaucratic state that enables them while screwing the hard working majority

this heatwave prompted a rather flippant tweet. i was sitting in my flat with the fan on, seeing news about a certain celebrity taking a 20 minute flight in their private jet. some words were said. clickbait headlines were generated globally. if you know you know.

The US did manage to kill Iran's leader, a historically cautious decision-maker with a healthy respect for US military power, and replace him with a collective leadership dominated by military figures who believe the most effective means of ensuring Iran's defense is taking the global economy hostage while turning the Persian Gulf into a live fire zone.

Nothing was accomplished by Operation Epic Fury except putting the IRGC in charge of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

This is collectively the largest financial iceberg ever put in front of the stock market. This is $5 trillion in TOTAL AIR.
These companies have never made a dime.
SpaceX is literally a government welfare project. OpenAI & Anthropic burn money in a furnace.
I see dead people.
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis
OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX. Three of the most important companies in human history. All are going public within months of each other. These IPOs will be unlike anything in the history of financial markets.

Every day I am reminded how completely out of touch with reality our hapless leaders are.
I'm 29. I have qualifications coming out of my arse. I can't find a job. What hope has people younger than me got?

The report, published next week, will say the UK is facing an "economic catastrophe" as a result Former Health Secretary Alan Milburn: "This is a bedroom generation. They are sort of living in their bedrooms. They are on all the time, they’re never off. [Social media] is leading to some evidence of functional impairment, changing their sleep patterns, concentration levels. That is having an impact on their ability to work" Story: thetimes.com/article/304dbf…

One important but underappreciated facet of this story is the way in which it represents the creeping Americanisation of British politics.
This country does not have US-style separation of powers. It is not the role of the Supreme Court - let alone quangos like the EHRC - to make sweeping policy changes on the basis of definitional quibbling.
If we had a government with any backbone, or any commitment to protecting the rights of this country's LGBTQ+ people, this entire saga would have been over in a single vote.
But instead, our government has wilfully abrogated its own constitutional responsibility because the Labour party has bought into the narrative that this whole debate is "toxic" and there's no way to come out ahead or meaningfully set the agenda. (i.e., they don't want to get yelled at by J. K. Rowling OR their own largely pro-trans activist base)
In time, I think we might look back on this incident as a moment of profound constitutional change, a signal that our legislators are increasingly willing to wash their hands of any remotely thorny issue - regardless of the long-term damage to the trust and authority of our parliament.

It’s incredible how much we have regressed as a society in the last decade thanks to imported culture wars
India Willoughby@IndiaWilloughby
This was me getting invited to Number 10 Downing Street in 2017 to meet Prime Minister Theresa May, who was about to bring in Self ID and quicker Gender Recognition Certificates. She made a speech about how awful the Conservatives had been to trans people in the past - but those days were over! Later I bumped into her in the Downing Street loo. We were both doing our lippy. Lol 😂. I said “Thank you so much for the invite and what you’re doing” . And she said: “Well times have changed now. Progress stops for no-one. Love your shoes by the way!”
