If only we had proper journalists like we used to have because if we did they’d bring down this government in a day. Unfortunately we don’t have real, honest journalists anymore.

"Diversity is our strength" was a lie. British kids need 3 A's for uni while foreign students sail in with 2 Cs and a D. Pensioners get pushed to the bottom of the pile. Illegals get hotels and cash. How this is "fair"? The young are waking up. The old are furious.

@Jenny_1884 And at the bottom of the pile: the pensioner who worked all their life.

I don’t know why anyone bothers to go to work nowadays as Rachel Reeves says only people on benefits will get help with their energy bills & middle income people will get nothing. It’s really getting to the stage that benefit claimants get more than working people which is just so wrong.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

If Starmer feels the EU is better at making laws for the UK then he should resign and so should his MPs . This is not just betrayal it’s high treason. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

The real risk with AI isn’t losing jobs. It’s slowly forgetting how to think for yourself.

@Artemisfornow For those that still want it, there are other options, e.g. PGP encryption tools.

🚨 From May 8, 2026, Instagram will remove end-to-end encryption from private messages. That means your DMs are no longer completely private. the platform can access and analyse message content using AI systems. This is following pressure from governments and regulators demanding visibility over what people say online. Who will fall next? 🚨

@Suffragent_ Great guy, initially. He's said a few disappointing things since campaigning in the local election. I guess he has to follow the party line now. He must follow orders, orders must be obeyed at all times. 😉

72% of Somalian migrants in the UK live off benefits in social housing. 52% of Bangladeshi migrants live off benefits in social housing. 48% of Pakistani migrants live off benefits in social housing. Why do all these doctors, engineers, and nurses need benefits??? Oh, wait…

An increasing number of young Muslims are threatening to leave the UK due to rising Islamophobia. They claim the UK will regret being so Islamophobic and will suffer a ‘brain drain.’

@QuanticASI There's only 8 billion observers. Perhaps less (are they all "real"?).

if our universe is a simulation, what computational resources would be required to render it at the level of quantum detail we observe? is that even possible without infinite energy?
