Shut it down.

Anyone working to build AI is a traitor to humanity.

The potential harms massively outweigh the potential benefits.

The debt is terrible etc etc, but if you're a provincial 18-year-old who can't afford to drive or live with friends & can't find a local job with hours, your only real route to conventional adult independence is to go get the loan. It's weird that nobody acknowledges this

[VraserX e/acc @VraserX]

A society where nobody has to work should be the greatest victory in economic history.

The fact that we mostly discuss it as a catastrophe says a lot about how deeply we have confused employment with purpose.

“Most people don’t realize how bad this is … ”

Shawn Ryan just had a “holy shit” moment.

Mike Rowe dropped stats that expose a massive ticking time bomb.

“There’s 7.5 million open jobs.”

“Most don’t require a 4-year degree.”

But “student debt is $1.7 trillion.”

“We’re lending money we don’t have to these same kids who are never going to be able to pay it back to train them for a bunch of jobs that don’t exist anymore.”

“It’s stupid.”

“You’ve got 6.9 million able-bodied men who are not only not working, they’re not looking for work.”

“That’s never happened.”

“We have a colossal imbalance in the workforce.”

“Not a week goes by, I’m not even exaggerating, that mikeroweWORKS doesn’t hear from the leader of some consequential industry or the CEO of a big company or some elected official who is really ringing the alarm bell.”

“Blue Forge Alliance, the company that oversees the maritime industrial base … they’re 15,000 companies who are collectively charged with delivering our nuclear-powered subs.”

“They called, they’re like: we’re having a hell of a time finding welders and electricians, can you help?”

“I said: maybe, how many you need?”

“400,000.”

britain runs on old money. almost everyone you know with a nice house got there the same way: a relative died and the property sold.

wealth in this country is inheritance and bricks. it just gets recycled between generations. very few people get rich from something they actually built.

we need A LOT more new money. and new money in 2026 means ai. startup hubs in london, manchester, glasgow, edinburgh. hardware in the midlands and north of scotland. data centres, energy, defence.

but try building any of it. you can't put up a garden shed without permission, never mind a data centre. the red tape has to go.

alcohol is directly implicated in 40-50% of homicides and 40-60% of domestic abuse incidents. weed is not.
alcoholics absolutely do not "understand there's a time and a place", and waste their lives being drunk while destroying their families. insane comparison.

This whole thread is rather insightful

[Alexander @alexanderrX_]

brits don’t avoid talking about money because they’re rude. they avoid it because most people have very little, so the whole topic is shame. and the silence is expensive. most people don’t know what an isa is, and the ones who do have a cash one earning less than inflation.

in america a stranger will tell you his portfolio at a barbecue. here your best mate of 20 years won’t tell you his salary.

This ain’t even a bad take tbh

[Maarten B. @Maarten_BNL]

Most of them are actually hoarding money as the main point of their activities. Musk is different. He leads a relatively frugal life and he is not trying to hoard money. He is building stuff, contributing to humanity, his businesses make money, which then all goes into new projects. I don’t agree with everything Musk does, but I’m fairly sure his intentions are good and that he honestly does care about people.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

I genuinely DO NOT get the endgame. If the plan ends with a ruined planet, collapsed economies, and no working class left to spend money. What are billionaires actually hoarding wealth for? To sit in a bunker with numbers on a screen that don't mean anything anymore? Like what is the actual point? 😭

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

you can get away w saying and doing p much anything it you’re a rw trump supporter who defends israel. the entire national media has been calling me a dangerous radical for stumping for anti war candidates who will fight for m4a.

even the commentary sphere online never says anything abt this guys insane rhetoric. i’ve been around the country. let me tell you, people aren’t like this, they’re trying to make ends meet- but they’re ultimately kind curious & open minded. what we see online is a carefully curated algorithm making us more vicious, it’s not how the real world is.

@mehercle @J_113CSC @_tsto_ Do you deny that Israel is targeting children and women ?

[Sam @SamCKx]

It's absolute common sense, and not a Left vs Right issue, that we don't want illegal immigrants arriving on British shores in small boats. I would say 99% of the country are behind that.

What we are not behind is when petty racists use the relatively tiny number of people that issue involves to attack anyone of colour.

I'm still horrified by the vile racist comments I saw all over a video some lad from London shared when he and his buddies went out hiking in the Lake District.

They were not illegal immigrants, they were not criminals, they were just young lads doing something wholesome and healthy and were subject to immense racial abuse simply because they were black.

This is vile, repugnant, shameful. If you participated in that, you are not a patriot, you are a stain on Britain, on our way of life and our proud history and culture.

ANTI-ZIONISM PROTECTED BY UK LAW

We have set a binding legal precedent!

Anti-Zionism is now a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Full stop.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal finally handed down its judgment this morning. The University of Bristol’s attempt to overturn my 2024 Employment Tribunal victory has been comprehensively dismissed. We won on every single count.

This is a public humiliation for the genocidal Zionist regime, whose assets in Britain bullied the University into sacking me and then dragged them into this futile appeal. Their legal strategy has collapsed. Their pressure campaign has spectacularly backfired.

Thanks to everyone who believed in me and supported me. This is a victory for the whole anti-Zionist movement.

A full statement will follow shortly.

From the River to the Sea
Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸
