[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.

From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

[Patriotic Millionaires UK @PatMillsUK]

The accumulation of extreme wealth by the world’s richest is corroding our collective future.

Economists, millionaires, and politicians from around the world agree: it’s time for the #G20 to finally do something about it. #taxextremewealth

[End Fuel Poverty Coalition @EndFuelPoverty]

💷Research by @UniofGreenwich has found that just *50* families have the same amount of wealth as more than half of the UK population combined. We face another winter of food banks and living in cold damp homes while some live a life of luxury.

@anthilemoon Yes pls! @forlifeitself might provide some inspo - they do coliving residencies in Bergerac (more extensive but similar principles). There could be a question / provocation to meditate on. Also futures thinking exercises and collective imagining could be generative :)

@cansudb @dhofstetter_x @TransCapSpace I'd love to chat @dhofstetter_x - is there a link to a relevant page for more info or an email I can drop a note to?

[Milly Shotter @MillyShotter]

Back on the writing horse. Here are 500 words on binary beliefs, the threat to nuance, and the simultaneous rise of computing and polarisation.

(Spurred on by @oliverburkeman's @BBCSounds series on The Death of Nuance - highly recommend.)

Tomorrow is The International Day of Democracy. We see a new context for democracy. It's not about participation or digital democracy.

A group of Untitled members highlight what's missing in the current debate on reforming democracy: https://t.co/wrdPVyOmzE

Amazing night of #livephilosophy for @aeonmag’s first Sophia Club. W/ @philosophybites, @drsfink, @sebrochford & @kitdownes.

[Milly Shotter @MillyShotter]

@AnnaSeidel17 This looks amazing!

[@jamestplunkett.bsky.social @jamestplunkett]

I'm trying to work out why I find this startup narrative so infuriating. "You only need a laptop and some grit" 🧵

[Milly Shotter @MillyShotter]

This week I've been thinking and writing about the role of fantasy. In short, creating our own fantasy worlds can be an act of empowerment and defiance.

Reflections inspired by @thestackworld / @sharmadeanreid, #DeborahLevy and @IrisMurdoch.
