This is surely telling us something wonderful about the green transition: that done well - in built environments and housing and beyond - we could reconnect to the sources that let us relax back into our true natures…

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

I feel confident that the sort of people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying tax would say that those fleeing war in other countries are not our concern and they should seek refuge in a neighbouring country. In this case I’d suggest Iran, which they can reach by small boat.

"The Labour Party under Starmer 
will abandon its core idealism and 
principles and it won't even gain 
tactical advantage. It will be a party 
which gives no one a reason to vote 
for it, and nobody will, in fact, vote 
for it."

David Graeber made a warning about Keir Starmer in 2020. They did not listen

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

In the overstuffed closet containing things about which I shall never give a listless fuck, the status of alternatives to nationally-backed currencies or recognized commodities will forever reside. These are Dutch tulips. This is a long-con pyramid game. Every rube should lose his last nickel.

I'm sorry but it's very funny to me that the legislature of a G7/P5 country of 70 million is currently drafting the "Fuck This One Guy in Particular Act of 2026."

Also, imagine tolerating a system of privilege so entrenched you need to rewrite centuries-old rules just to get at one douchebag.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Ahead of the UK budget, government debt has dominated headlines. Threat of a UK “debt crisis” is used to justify cuts in welfare and public services.

But the story is far more nuanced and the REAL global debt crisis isn’t getting nearly enough attention. @tim-jones6.bsky.social explains

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
