Prof. Jeffrey Sachs:
“Israel is the most VIOLENT country per capita in the whole world.
Israel has either overtly or covertly through Mossad engaged in wars that stretch from Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and now Iran.”
In 1979-80 the cost of local authority elderly residential care was £63 per week, which was 58% of an average wage. In 2026 it is £1298, or 184% of an average wage.
Privatisation of care is basically a letter of marque. Licence for the depraved to prey on the desperate.

For anybody who doesn't know AI is only free because they need you to use it.
Once they have everyone dependent on it, it will become really expensive really fast.
Just like Uber, Netflix, Groceries...
🚨 BREAKING:
Former Irish President Mary Robinson, 81, and former New Zealand PM Helen Clark, 75, are at the Rafah border crossing protesting against Israel.
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that JD Vance should go f*ck himself for suggesting that Americans should stop griping "about the little things" like gas, groceries, and basic necessities.
Tone deaf jackass.
🚨 BREAKING:
Spanish PM Sánchez on Israel:
"Protecting your country is one thing; killing more than 60,000 civilians, displacing 2 million people, bombing hospitals, and starving innocent children to death is something entirely different.
I think we are witnessing one of the darkest and most horrific events of the 21st century unfolding before our eyes.
The international community cannot remain silent and paralyzed.
What moral leadership can we provide in the new world order if we abandon the Palestinians?"
Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
why aren’t the robots working in the mines and oil fields and handling toxic chemicals or picking plastic out of the ocean? why are they writing emails and making powerpoint presentations? what the hell are we doing
This is one of the most famous images in the world, and almost no one knows that the man who made it was over seventy, and believed he was only just getting started...
It's The Great Wave off Kanagawa, by Katsushika Hokusai, made in the early 1830s. A wall of water rises over three narrow boats, its crest breaking into claws of white foam, while the men inside bow their heads and hold on. And far in the distance, so small you might miss it, sits Mount Fuji, the most sacred mountain in Japan, framed by the curve of the wave as if it were just another pebble in the sea.
By then Hokusai had already been drawing for more than sixty years.
He had made thousands of prints and illustrated hundreds of books, more than enough for most people to call it a life's work, but he saw all of it as little more than a warm-up…
At seventy-five, he wrote that "until the age of 70, nothing I drew was worthy of notice," and that if he lived to a hundred and ten, "every dot and every stroke will be as though alive." He signed it "Old Man Mad about Painting."
He didn't make it to a hundred and ten. He died at nearly ninety, still working, still sure his best was ahead of him. And his last words, recorded by his daughter, were not about what he'd done, but about what he still wanted to do. He asked for five more years of life, "then I'll manage to become a true artist."
Most of us spend our lives believing our best years are behind us. The man who made the most famous wave in history spent his believing they hadn't arrived yet…
I still cannot fully comprehend the scale of the destruction and devastation that has befallen Gaza. Whenever I remember my home and the neighborhood where I used to live, how it looked before the war, and then see what it has become, I am overwhelmed by a shock I cannot put into words.
Sometimes I feel as though we have lived through the horrors of a world war, as if Gaza has become a scene from cities destroyed by war, like Dresden, Germany, after World War II. It is difficult for the human mind to comprehend how a place once full of life could be reduced to such an immense amount of rubble and destruction.
Don't stay silent, at least share!!💔
104 Iranian sailors, many in their late teens, unarmed, thousands of miles away at a training event with other nations.
Their final words to the US warship that slaughtered them "we are unarmed".
The law of armed conflict states survivors to be recused - the US ignored this.
🚨Yesterday, people at 40+ hospitals across England said: no Palantir in the NHS.
Palantir works with the Israeli military and ICE, and holds a £330m contract for NHS patient data.
It can be scrapped within weeks. Share this and tell the government: back the break clause.
Remember when I warned that by removing Gaza #rubble Israel would destroy human remains deserving burial, together with evidence of crimes?
ProApartheid squads rushed to call me LIAR - after calling me:
Impostor
Antisemite
Hamas spokesperson
Witch.
But we keep receipts.
Once you dig into the “AI industry” it becomes clearer & clearer what it really is.
It is an extraction project.
It has already extracted the ENTIRE DIGITIZABLE OUTPUT OF HUMANITY. Our ideas. Our art. Our science. Our math.
Through a clever algorithm discovered in 2017, Jensen Huang and Peter Thiel’s protege Sam Altman figured out how to accelerate existing “generative AI” technology with GPUs. This was NOT an innovation in accuracy or “intelligence,” it was a way to process an old algorithm in parallel.
OpenAI was staffed in large part by “Effective Altruists”—a cult started based on the doomer science fiction of Eliezer Yudkowsky on the website LessWrong.
Peter Thiel was the initial funding for OpenAI, EA, and Yudkowsky.
OpenAI successfully convinced the market, and themselves in many cases, that they had birthed some new form of life. They just needed to make it BIGGER and it was destined to become “superintelligent.”
Based on Yudkowsky’s goofy ideas, AI was gradually anthropomorphized and deified—despite the fact that it was just software regurgitating the exhaust of human beings. The entire “alignment” movement is based on the presumption that chatbots deserve “moral standing.” It’s exhaustingly ignorant.
Eventually OpenAI employee Dario Amodei, a dedicated EA adherent, became concerned that OpenAI was not RELIGIOUS ENOUGH about AI being sentient, so he broke off to form Anthropic and named his chatbot after a person.
This false premise, that an algorithm was somehow producing “intelligence” was further amplified by training the output to sound as human, and addictive, as possible.
The combination of a kind of religious fervor inside, a deceptive product, and a flood of influence operations on the outside fueled a wild flow of speculative investment in both OpenAI and Anthropic—and especially into NVIDIA.
This eventually poisoned the entire technology sector which came to believe that the “race for AGI” was existential, so they committed TRILLIONS to achieving it. The data centers are all a function of a misunderstanding of what they are building.
Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are NEVER going to be intelligent, much less conscious. All they do is take our stolen stuff and sell it back to us. They do not experience. They do not do anything—unless you send a string of text for them to process.
Nevertheless, the entire financial industry, and now the federal government is pushing this dead-end project to engulf the nation in data centers and swallow the economy with “AI factories.”
It’s downright insanity. All of that capital expenditure is already junk. It can physically never make money. It’s built for GPUs which are the wrong substrate for AI.
Large language models are useful search engines for stuff we’ve already done. They are the compressed, digitized exhaust of humans with a clever language interface. That’s it.
There is no moat. There is no real innovation. There is just an accelerationist delusion and no adults in sight. Chatbots are a software feature, a commodity, that has metastasized into a cult digging a $10 TRILLION DITCH.
The reason this has gone so far is that rather than compete in a democratic capitalist system for the best technology product, this cabal of lunatics created an “internet alternate reality” that could “unilaterally change the world.”
The current AI industry is the largest extraction project in history. It is strip mining humanity and selling it back to us as slop.
“If you’re evil, you’re not bad, and maybe that means you’re kind of good.”
—Peter Thiel
My solidarity with everyone joining the protests today to kick Palantir out of our NHS.
As I said in Parliament recently: from serious concerns over its handling of patient data to its human rights record, this US tech giant should have no role in our NHS.
Israel's largest arms manufacturer was just exposed for being bankrolled by a financial firm in which Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, is the largest shareholder of.
This is arguably the grossest conflict of interest in modern American history https://t.co/Ii32rQxSaj
