Humans are very stupid.

Jesus. Episode 3 is even worse.
Talks about climate change impacting agricultural production in parts of Spain (Andalusia). Soil turned to sand.

Monoculture:
Without crop rotation, soil loses structure, erodes more easily, hold less water, exacerbates impacts of climate change.

Can we stop electing all the psychopaths now please????

sigh

oh thanks @piglet73.bsky.social

… cue ZERO interest in our existential crisis on this shitty platform

From National Emergency Briefing https://www.nebriefing.org “Timely technologies: a 'Marshall'-style deployment Headline examples: • Retrofit existing homes (inc. heat pumps, etc.) • Build only zero-carbon homes (& limited in the size) • Rapid roll out of public transport • EV charging for rural environments (much less for cities) • Rapid shift to zero CO, electricity • Major programme of electrification (only 1/5 UK energy is electricity)”

There is an easier path:

👉 Ban X & VPNs
👉 Severely regulate the others
👉 Severely restrict political donations
👉 Mass public broadcasting education on Planetary Boundaries
👉 Ban far-right political parties
👉 Marshall-style plan & re-wild like mad
👉 Sensible immigration, given ageing population

The classification of Germany’s AfD as extremist is seen as anti-democratic by its supporters.

Is this why Starmer gvt is trying a different (albeit also failing) approach?

As Martin Wolf of the FT said, “by failing to throttle Adolf Hitler’s ‘right’ to free speech”
75million people died.

Again.

Looks like a concerted and strategic effort to undermine arguments against a path towards such atrocities, by weakening the weight of history.

Sinister times.

… US gas prices, something something … 2 … (the war is “very complete”) …

it’s “very complete, pretty much”

… just as petrol prices start to rile his base (up from $2.98 to $3.49 per litre)

The 2 articles show a transatlantic political-finance ecosystem with Bannon at its core - a network carefully shielded from public scrutiny.

Farage’s display over missing Trump appears performative, designed to serve his UK polling rather than genuine “cooling” of the relationship.

Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon’s European Revolution – Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support

… and Bannon at its core👇

Nigel Farage Paid by Trump Crypto Adviser Who Worked With Russia Operative Paul Manafort The Reform UK leader received payment from David Bailey, who collaborated with the convicted fraudster behind the Trump-Russia influence scandal

how would it work unless he had shouted about it before hand?

“All eyes on me … and tada! look, I’m not as close to Trump as I was, honest”

it’s a transatlantic political-finance ecosystem, with Russia-linked intermediaries … 👇

imho it looks great for his UK ratings. what better way of creating perceived distance between him and Trump (especially now) than engineering this bollocks. if I were Reform’s PR advisor this is exactly the kind of stunt I’d pull.

Given that any association between the two is bad for Reform’s prospects, is it possible this coverage has been engineered? especially given the sources.

“We keep getting negative coverage in the FT. How can we use this to our advantage?”

Come on, do better.
They aren’t *that* clever.

ugh

Also, if you aren’t already, you need to help these guys press for a national screening 👇

You are getting slammed in the FT comments section today. Normally quite a liberal bunch.

Try “I will bring back the Regional Development Agencies”.
They worked. PwC: £5 economic benefit for every £1 public money invested (NWDA). Also probably the only way to fund remediation of brownfield land.

"It's snowing, there is no climate change": Climate myths are a growing problem on social media, but the science is clear. The Planetary Boundaries Science Lab teamed up with PIK scientist @rahmstorf.bsky.social to cut through the top 5 myths around climate change.

Bannon needs to go to Mars with Musk and Yackley-Lemmon

… and Reform will be rubbing their hands with glee, if they see the replies to your post.

The FT misfired on this one. Polls clearly show close ties to Trump is damaging for Reform.

The article:
"people close to the Reform UK leader say"
"people close to Farage said"

Fallen into the same trap as the BBC, but given they are not as stupid, I’m sure they will course correct.

The No World Order Meir Kahane, Netanyahu, Trump, and the war beyond Iran.
