I never would have read *Careless People*, Sarah Wynn-Williams's tell-all memoir about her years running global policy for Facebook, but then Meta's lawyer tried to get the book suppressed and secured an injunction to prevent her from promoting it:

Finally!

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

At long last the 92 hereditary peers who still sit in the House of Lords - many of them large landowners - will be removed

Historically the House of Lords has been a block on land reform & extending access rights - perhaps no longer https://t.co/DaCLjjFS83

@RoguePOTUSStaff Exhibiting a remarkably low 1Q here

Does any cabinet member actually have even an average IQ?

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

If the tariffs could produce THESE kinds of disruptive monopoly-busting results…

then my personal carrot/stick opinion of them just got more carrot-weighted

Those governments are supposed to work for *us*, and yet they passed laws - like DMCA 1201 - that felonize reverse-engineering, modding and tinkering. These laws create an enshittogenic environment, which produces enshittification:

We *could* disrupt Amazon in lots of ways. We could scrape all of Amazon's "ASIN" identifiers and make browser plugins that let local sellers advertise when they have stock of the things you're about to buy on Amazon:

A counter argument to the one sided hysteria over the proposed changes to inheritance tax relief on inherited agricultural land. Farmers have hoarded land for too long. Inheritance tax will bring new life to rural Britains https://t.co/DMA8enIn8j

British cheeses miss out at the World Cheese Awards in Portugal - not because they weren’t worthy of prizes, but because they got stuck in customs. That. Is. A. Disgrace. https://t.co/BUIKyxggPc

1/ X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk's own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.⬇️

If ONLY the self righteous media currently whining and complaining about Reeves’ Budget had delved into the #brexit promises of @borisjohnson

If only they had questioned the implications for the NHS, businesses, farming, working people.
But they didn’t.
Did they?

[Saganism @Saganismm]

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan warned of the dangers that come when citizens cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask: was he right?

I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13

It really is hard to get across quite how bad this is. We’re on track for 3C of warming, which could easily result in catastrophic cascading risks to human civilisation. And emissions are still rising. https://t.co/uiTVXW0uhl

Spread this with everyone you can; govt past and present is being very furtive about SEZ’s and we all need to wise up:

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

Someone explain to me why my research into SEZs is getting hardly any traction anymore.
Is it because it was OK to expose the Tories implementation of them, but when I found out that Labour were continuing this Tory policy, no one wants to know the truth all of a sudden?
Help me out here.
