Can growing wealth inequality trigger societal collapse?

"We must face the uncomfortable fact that, left unchecked, wealth inequality will threaten the stability and security of this country." - Dr @Jeni_warstudies

I enjoyed helping out @Jeni_warstudies on the new study, "Inequality Knocks: Identifying and mitigating the risks of wealth inequality in the UK," which looked at the relationship between wealth inequality and social collapse in the UK.

Give a read!

A still from my upcoming film "The Atomic Bowl," which among other things highlights connections between the civilian death toll from the Nagasaki bomb (almost all casualties were non-combatants) and the killing of kids in today's wars. https://t.co/ap7f8f30Jv

Saddle up, space cowboys. It may get bumpy for a while.

All my girl cousins in Shendi said they’ll drown themselves in the Nile if the RSF militia invades. They know what would happen to them if they don’t: rape & sexual slavery, especially as northerners. The RSF have made it clear they’ll commit genocide & brutal acts against us

I'm writing a scenario for violent unrest in the UK in 2030, and out of curiosity asked our university's new AI platform to suggest some names for a future far-right extremist party. None of them are great but this one takes the cake:

Much appreciation to ⁦@thecontinent_⁩ for their latest issue, focussing on how the use of combat drones has changed warfare in #Africa. Good investigative work also geolocating the site of a war crime in the #Amhara region of #Ethiopia. Accountability is important.

Over the years I've asked I don't know how many Brits, what is the most traumatic viewing experience you've ever had? And the answer is ALWAYS Threads.
Finally going to watch it myself. Could it be worse than the Day After?

⚠️ The time draws near ⚠️

THREADS is on tomorrow night.

Saving the ozone layer is one of the few positive environmental developments we have in recent times. Are we going to be typical humans and mess it up?

[Doug Ligor @DougLigor]

If the expected # of satellites are deployed (100K+ in next 10 yrs), aluminum oxide may increase to 640% above natural levels, leading to more skin cancer, cataracts; weakened immune systems; reduced crop yields; and disruptions in the marine food chain.

Even if you accept the idea of labelling games as woke/not woke (NB: you shouldn't) these people clearly never played Stray, which is a straight up #Solarpunk parable.

Had a terrific time presenting 'The Future is Human' with @drdeorellana at Methods Con 2024. Thanks to @NCRMUK for putting together so many thought-provoking and informative panels on futures methods! @warstudies @KCL_CSSS

[Jeni Mitchell @Jeni_warstudies]

It was a delight and an honour to participate in our first @warstudies Widening Participation Summer School. Our guests were so insightful and so determined to make a difference in the world -- a real inspiration. Looking forward to next summer! https://t.co/xoj9C8r4nw

Yesterday PM Modi laid the foundation stone for India’s largest deep water port: the Vadhavan Port Project, but the ceremony was not held in Vadhavan, where the port is actually proposed. It was held in Palghar, around 30 km away from Vadhavan.

Why you may ask?

Stay with me 🧵

[Jeni Mitchell @Jeni_warstudies]

Wonderful day at @UofGARC yesterday thanks to @DrTimPeacock and all his colleagues at @UofGGamesLab -- so much exciting work and collaboration taking place in this beautiful space! Feeling very inspired 🚀

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

For days, I've wondered why the PM was so slow to call in the army to deal with these riots. Today, I've come to understand why; he knows what the far right is attempting to do. 🧵

[Marc Owen Jones @marcowenjones]

1/ 🧵Just did a network analysis of the "far right thugs unite" hashtag. It largely seems to be a simulated scandal/outrage to promote the Reform Party and Nigel Farage and - while also being an attack on Keir Starmer.

Possibly the most perfect description of a PhD I've ever come across:

[George Tsitati @Tsitati_George]

A PhD is basically just making up a problem and then getting mad at that problem.

[Jeni Mitchell @Jeni_warstudies]

@MattPotter @thecontinent_ Glad you're enjoying it! I've been a big fan for years, my students as well. The reportage on AI has really opened their eyes to the human and ethical costs.
