Brilliant piece on what our children will and won't thank us for in the era of AI. Naomi is SO GOOD on all of this: naomialderman.substack.com/p/preparing-...

Questioning the void: what does a large society without money look like? How does it logistically function? Capitalism works on the carrot/stick principle. The stick is if you don’t work for money you physically suffer. The stick is if you work enough you get nicer things than bare survival.

This is absolutely horrifying. Do these people understand that relationships aren’t transactions but two way emotional attachments that make us human? FFS

There has to be a better way for humans to live. I am tired of accepting “this is just how modern life is.”

Hidden in one of my favourite ever papers is a nugget about the UK almost refusing to sign #Valetta due to the (illegal) #antiquity trade & (unlicensed) #metaldetecting.

It’s all baked in to UK Govt policy and Willem Willems recorded it, the absolute legend.

Absolute marmalade-dropper, this. Well worth a read.

The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this?

(Thank you to everyone who read through drafts & offered thoughts, advice and ideas.)

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

I love how Russell T Davies always uses his platform to fight for progress - I hate how it is always so necessary

I think that everyone (all across the political spectrum) is angry, because they don’t see their lives, or their children’s lives getting better. We are at a plateau, where only the lives of a small minority are improving. How do we change this?
