Someone rebuked me for saying out loud what everyone knows:

WE NEED A PEACEFUL NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION IN GOVERNANCE, SOCIETY, AND ECONOMICS.

It's not only me saying that. Here's what the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program wrote in October 2022:

If you are this afraid, you shouldn’t leave the house. This goes double if you’re an American. Because read the room. We are the crime.

Hit piece against heat pumps in The Sun, who managed to find a badly informed and poorly advised man to base a bunch of lies around. This information war is very boring - one has to wonder if the story was placed by lobbyists. Standards for HP installs could be helpful.

I spent £6.5k on electric heat pump - here's the cold truth about tech
WHEN John Frost installed a £14,000 heat pump, he thought his energy problems were over – but three years on he’s fed up with it. He forked out £6,500 of the cost himself but has to wait 45 minutes…

This would also be just reward for FIFA, not just for THAT trophy but for decades of dreadful venue selections and corruption.
Approximately 25,000+ people CANCELLED their World Cup Tickets overnight and counting.

This is commendable. Boycott America.

Concur, 100%. Most people don't know what "CSAM" means, and until they do, explaining that is means exactly what they call "child porn" is how you help them learn what it means.
So one thing wrt the Grok/CSAM issue.
When talking about it with "not very online" people consider using the outdated term "child porn." At least initially.
Lots of people don't know what "CSAM" means and you need to make it clear that it's child porn to them at the outset.

When hydrogen levels in the atmosphere are high, climate-warming methane doesn't break down as fast so its global heating effects remain intense for longer. So, microbes that lower hydrogen in the atmosphere could be slightly slowing climate change.

Hydrogen emissions are ‘supercharging’ the warming impact of methane - Carbon Brief
The warming impact of hydrogen has been “overlooked” in projections of climate change, authors of the latest “global hydrogen budget” say.

Politicians caught knowingly lying or working as foreign agents should face consequences. The stocks might work - there's nothing more directly accountable than public humiliation and ridicule.

Labour are deluded fucking idiots
Literally no one trusts them apart from a handful of sycophants

When "the right decisions" are supporting & enabling the murder of journalists, shooting kids in the head & starving people to death, I guess

Distributed ledger technologies - those behind bitcoins and shitcoins - don't only have uses as fake money. They can also be used for decentralised accountability that cannot be corrupted. A distributed ledger has no central control. The record can be incorruptible. Examples could be to store

Jan and Feb tour dates for my film 'Fires and Fascism' announced!

I’ll be attending each screening in person for a discussion afterwards about community, what might be drawing people towards Reform, and sharing ideas about what to do next.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Then try your hand at predicting what will happen in 2026.

50 questions - simply say how likely each is to occur, on a range of 0% (won't happen) to 100% (will definitely happen).

Any question can be skipped.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

In 2021, Jen Budd a former border patrol agent gave an interview in which she described the abhorrent behavior and the extreme racism of those agents. She felt like “a f** nazi”.
A really insightful discussion that explains a lot about how ICE works today.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.
Extract in the replies.
