One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death.
Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

A full-time worker on the UK National Living Wage takes home around £18,600 a year, while a pensioner on the full State Pension receives about £12,548. That leaves many retirees expected to live on thousands less than the lowest-paid workers.

Peter Mandelson was friends with Jeffery Epstein. Instead of asking him about this, the media asked him about Jeremy Corbyn's supposed 'Antisemitism'.

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

Morons on the @BBCNews moaning about warnings about record-breaking heat waves. They’re really going to have something to moan about when they realise hundreds of millions possibly even more may die in the coming decades because of climate change.

experiment with a memory system that keeps rewriting itself:
a hopfield network remembers an alphabet. as memories decay, it begins to hallucinate glyphs it was never taught - forgetting becomes a way of inventing.

Where do you think profits are taken from?
They are taken from your wages.
They make you celebrate their theft from you, they think it is hilarious.
Wake up.

Profits are at record highs. The labor share is at a record low. Don’t let anyone tell you we have exited the neoliberal era. And no, this is not democratically sustainable.

Fife residents and conservationists have slammed plans for a giant AI data centre near a Fife village - a 600MW data centre near Auchtertool. It has been calculated that the AI data centre would use the energy of more than 50% of Scotland's households. No one voted for this.

I was a prison officer, Nick. You can't preach "tough on crime." Your lot cut nearly 7,000 prison officers since 2010 and handed our jails to G4S and Serco. You broke the system, then act shocked it doesn't work.
You know what actually works? Lads out on licence getting their track tickets, learning a trade, coming home as taxpayers instead of reoffenders. That's using human capital, not warehousing it. A lad sat in a cell doing nothing helps nobody.
And funny how quiet you all go on the tax dodgers and the oligarchs bankrolling Putin's war. Boris took a Russian ex-KGB man's hospitality at his Italian villa, dodged his own officials, then made the son a Lord. Where's your "lock them up" energy for that?

David Lammy wants to put violent young thugs on a course. We want to put them in prison. The teenage rapists proved the problem. Lammy must change the sentencing rules.

Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

@Elizabe25440003 @LBC @lewis_goodall They do. They're on benefits that aren't enough to pay for all their necessary expenses.
English
@LBC @lewis_goodall Anyone on benefits should have their spending restricted! And pensions are NOT benefits!

‘Don’t you think that’s rather humiliating towards people?’
@Lewis_Goodall challenges Chris Philp on the Tories’ proposal to put former criminals on ration cards, rather than benefits.

The imperial core has gained $15 trillion through exorbitant privilege since 1970, getting higher returns on foreign assets than what they pay on foreign debt. This privilege is financed by transfers from the global South, outstripping aid flows many times over.

"We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces."

The Israelis have no right to be in Lebanon, this is totally outrageous and criminal.
They have invaded and occupied huge portions of the country, turning our beautiful cities and towns and ancient structures into apocalyptic moonscapes in an attempt to empty the land of its rightful inhabitants.
Yet it’s not a top headline at any of the major outlets. And when they do cover it they justify the barbarism.
Shameful all around.

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.

On November 21, 2024, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a partnership with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager controlling over $10 trillion in assets. The tweet showed him and Chancellor Rachel Reeves in meetings with BlackRock executives, declaring determination to “capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.”
Within months, BlackRock had acquired 80% ownership of three British freeports, Felixstowe, Harwich, and Thamesport, giving the firm control over 60% of UK container traffic. BlackRock announced a £500 million UK data centre partnership with Digital Gravity Partners. The firm manages £2.3 trillion globally and £600 billion of the UK defined contribution pension market.

My good friend Ursula K. Le Guin has some thoughts on this

In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.
