“Your money will not work except for [what they want].”

“You wake up and they say: the only food you can eat is insect flour or bioengineered.’”

Catherine Austin Fitts breaks down how data centers, digital ID, and biometrics are being used to build the “three lock money” system.

What does that mean?

“There is a buyer, and there’s a seller, but now in the middle, you have a dynamic, complex algorithm.”

“It’s all of Mr. Global’s rules.”

“Whether they’re the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

“Whether they’re climate change.”

“Whether they’re anti-money laundering.”

“Whether they’re sanctions.”

“And this, of course, requires an enormous infrastructure of surveillance and analytics.”

“That’s what the digital ID, biometrics, and data centers are all about.”

“Creating the hardware and software and infrastructure you need to put a third lock.”

“The idea of a third lock is frightening because there is no one to talk to.”

“Once you have AI… that can support this kind of system, the rules that apply to Carolyn can be different than the rules that apply to me.”

“And if you’re good, less rules.”

“If you’re bad, more rules, including being frozen.”

When I was 15 one of the boys in my class saw a tampon in my pencil case. He snatched it and they tossed it around the class, jeering at me. They even brought my business ed teacher in on the fun, told him I was bleeding and he tossed a tube of lip balm at me and told me to "plug myself up". I can't fathom what kind of numbnut thinks girls would be ok sharing restrooms with boys.

We have a right to dignity, privacy and safety and it beggars belief that we are STILL FIGHTING THESE FUCKING BATTLES IN 2026.

Engraved around 17,000 years ago, this limestone plaque from the Grotte de La Marche in France shows a human head in profile—one of the unusually detailed human images from the Magdalenian period.

The parallel lines across the cheek have been interpreted as possible scarification or tattoo marks, though the meaning is still UNCERTAIN. Found in 1937, the plaque is a striking reminder that Ice Age art was not only about animals; sometimes, it also tried to capture human faces.

@Brumpic Definitely a 'just in case you might' moment. Start a carrier bag collection.

Interesting perspective. I wonder what the it looks like now, in 2026. #conniesvabo #myamericanplasticscape

For @Telegraph, I wrote about the case of the missing masterpieces at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Where are great works by William and May Morris, the city's radical Surrealists, Sandro Botticelli, Orazio Gentileschi, Simone Martini, Eugène Delacroix and Canaletto?

Several interesting things about this article.

Firstly, these are not deserted fields. They are best and most versatile arable land. 45,000 acres of them. They produce FOOD. And given the many food security klaxons sounding currently, we need food producing land and we should not cover it in concrete.

They remove emails.

But Google hides the biggest storage hog somewhere else.

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints

In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints

For this who don’t remember

Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods

That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe

So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers

Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it

The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints

Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after

Common Resident Complaints Being Logged

- Water usage
- Raising utility bills for residents
- Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife.
- E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

‘GPs will no longer issue "sick notes" under a government trial. People will be directed to social prescribers instead. This is peak neoliberal governance: a structural refusal to allow people to be ill, rest, or temporarily step outside a certain model of productivity.

Churchill and Jung both understood something modern psychology forgot:

Depression grows when life becomes only thought.

The way out is not more analysis.
It is action, symbol, body and imagination.

Here are 7 body-based ways to move from collapse into momentum: 🧵

1. Use your hands to build something.
