This is true pro-activism. @paulpowlesland is a real British hero.

Actually improving nature despite legal threats and insane Government bodies.

Really puts the environmental virtue-signallers to shame.

Great piece from @Channel4News

Leon Black’s son, Ben, holds a Senate-confirmed position overseeing the DFC, the largest overseas investment arm. Congress recently cleared the agency to invest in high-income countries and tripled its lending cap to $205bn, greatly expanding Black’s influence over taxpayer funds

@davidgraeber and I once wanted to write an A4Kids book (Anthropology for kids):
Made Differently: weapons.
Greek city-states — democracy or oligarchy depended on who fought: the rich man's cavalry or the foot soldiers of ordinary citizens. In the end, everything is decided in the street. Now cheap drones are doing what the Greek phalanx once did: democratizing violence. And this will change the social structure of the world just as radically.
When we had those conversations, this wasn't real yet.

Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.

Worker: My labour costs more.

Businesses: Whoa, whoa... Let’s not get unreasonable here.

And this is the twenty year old communicating about this better than I do.

Also wanna add that this is genuinely one of the best responses to being questioned about AI in the arts. Kane knows what’s up.

The genocide in Palestine and the mass murder in Lebanon must be stopped

Party affiliation doesn’t matter anymore. Start designating politicians as either (C) for corporatist or (P) for populist.

[The Lever @LeverNews]

The Maine Senate race is being swallowed by one candidate’s marriage while the real power story disappears: Susan Collins’ record, war, gas prices and billionaire-backed policy.

David Sirota breaks down how money wins when it controls what we talk about.

This is the real “democracy crisis” - pass it on.

Why haven't we set the White House on fire?

@SkinnerPm This one waited for me to get the camera!
