What they taught in school: GDP up = good.
What they left out:
The atmosphere has a limit
Soil can die
Water runs out
8 billion people need a living planet, not just a growing economy.
Memories of absurd rules used to casually dominate a little sister in a ritualized childhood game intermingle past and present and manifest to parallel the new invisible rules of a deadly game being played to dominate us all today, cruelly, for real, and for keeps. A must-read.
“In this metallic age of barbarians, only a relentless cultivation of our ability to dream, to analyse and to captivate can prevent our personality from degenerating into nothing or else into a personality like all the rest.”
— Fernando Pessoa
I got these Caddo blackberry as tiny 3 inch plugs five or six weeks ago and today they've grown up enough for these 5 gallon pots. Happy feeling. #blackberries#gardening
AOCIA said she can't work with MTG or any conservative Republican who is critical of Israel because they are evil monstrous anti-Semites and doing so means becoming tainted by it yourself. Ok, fine. Then the fact that she gleefully endorses genocidal Zionist anti-Palestinian racists with glee when they're running uncontested and just recently led the Israel Day Parade alongside war criminal mass murderers like Smotrich, proves that by her own standards she herself is a gleeful anti-Palestinian racist genocidal Zionist scumfuck.
IMF and World Bank operate under 'neocolonial racketeering' — Medvedev
They issue loans with humiliating conditions, forcing 'structural reforms' that make countries dependent, not efficient
Victims end up in a debt spiral with no way out, per Medvedev

🚨 🇬🇧 KEIR STARMER SET TO RESIGN, FINALLY
Let’s recap his two years of selling out:
• Won the largest Labour majority in a generation. A historic mandate. The country in his hands.
• Appointed Peter Mandelson, Epstein’s man in Britain, as his first major hire.
• Cracked down on Palestinian protests and civil liberties.
• Backed every war. Backed genocide.
• Raised taxes.
• Historic unemployment.
• Did absolutely nothing about the cost of living except make it worse.
• Caved like a corrupt coward on abolishing leasehold.
• Rolled out digital ID, forced ID for all new accounts.
• Banned social media for young people and increased “antisemitism” education in schools
The result?
• Lost nearly 1,500 council seats in a single local election.
• Net approval rating of minus 66.
• The most unpopular Prime Minister since records began.
And here’s what should terrify the Labour establishment:
• Only 5% of Labour voters who left went to Reform.
• 32% went to the Greens and Lib Dems.
They didn’t lose to the right. They lost to the left they abandoned.
Keir Starmer was never there to represent you. He was there to neutralise the left and hand the establishment two terms of safe, managed decline.
Mission accomplished. Sort of lol.
