I am tired of people in Western countries saying "Palestine is on the ballot" in your local elections. No—it is not. What is on the ballot: trash collections, social care, local jobs, economic growth, energy, etc. Palestine/Israel is a problem for Palestinians and Israelis,

It's not on the ballot in any Arab country neighbouring Palestine either

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪and Britain 🇬🇧 for sacrificing your economies to save the planet. China appreciates you exporting your manufacturing to provide jobs for their citizens.

@TerribleMaps Someone please print this map and hand copies in millions to the youth in capitals across the Arab world

Tidal wave of applications for this year's @CPSThinkTank internship programme a perfect case study for the big macro trends - elite overproduction, hideous youth unemployment and the rise of LLMs.

@SkyNews Government response : funding education, review documents, condemning, issuing statements...

What struck me is how we are living in two totally different worlds, even when only living feet apart. There's a Britain, a London, that lives entirely within the belly of the state, and another for whom it barely exists except as an extractrive force.

To think communist revolutionaries like General Qasim & Arif inherited this Baghdad from the Hashemite Royal Family & British mandate and turned it into ⏬ A city choking on its own refuse, overrun by militias, suffocating under the weight of decay

@joeroganhq Instagram, Bluesky, Threads & Facebook are still in totally insular dystopian complex There are hardly any profound ideas, debates or discussions occurring in these apps, they are just platforms to sell products now

Joe Rogan: "When Elon Musk purchased Twitter — and I don't say this lightly, I think he changed the course of civilization. I really do. I think we were on our way to this weird dystopian censorship complex that was already moving."

Techno-optimism will be the founding philosophy of a new world order. Embrace of technology & trust in engineers will be the fault lines upon which we organise future political debates

@HeracleanVision It's very difficult line to walk as it is and what makes it even more difficult is the presence of isolationist and separatist political parties and sentiments held by a substantial portion of first/second generation immigrants

Reflecting on this, I think we do have to grapple seriously with the question of how to handle immigrant-descended populations given political constraints that mean that any reversal of mass migration will be very much incomplete. It's all well and good to say that assimilation is meaningless, and obviously that is partly true (especially if there is not a national supermajority into which people can assimilate). Nevertheless, whatever one wants to say about the Britishness of Ainsely Harriot etc, there are obviously better and worse forms of acculturation we could plausibly generate. I understand, then, why Kruger is so eager to hold the door open to this possibility, which does require some attitude of generosity towards the kind of membership in the nation that descendants of immigrants might be able to seek. Nevertheless, the framing that such people are "equal inheritors" to our tradition - whatever the caveats offered, and they are meaningful - is always going to strike ancestral Brits the wrong way, and for that reason is probably not politically sustainable. It's a very difficult line to walk, because any political leadership which seeks to resolve this question must reassure ancestral Brits that their special claim to the nation is understood and respected, but must also hold out a hand as national leaders if we are to avoid socially dysfunctional segregation. I don't have any solutions yet, but the problem requires much more thinking.

@HeracleanVision @93vintagejones Very insightful

I'm in The Critic this morning discussing the Royal visit, and how we should be wary of the illusion that a nice accent and a flash of charm can make up for Britain's basic lack of leverage on the international stage.

@LynnBraben @TariqAli_News What exactly does Israel have to do with this incident? A couple of police officers trying to disarm a terrorist in a suburb in London?

Could've been George Floyd all over again. We are innocent until proven guilty, in the UK. NOT until Israel says so!
