Going to try to spend as much of 2026 as possible as I can doing what I did today: taking joy in my research. In fact, I‘m going to actively try to find more joy generally. Obviously, I will remain grumpy & despairing on here - I have a brand to protect.

Giuliani attacks foes, claims again to have 'insurance' to stay in Trump's good graces
"I've seen things written like he's going to throw me under the bus," Giuliani said. "When they say that, I say he isn't, but I have insurance."

Coming round to this view myself. Even if the money raised from the billionaire wealth tax is negligible, you need to do it to get political buy-in for broadening the tax base and increasing the taxes everyone pays.
1. Taxing billionaires more by itself is not enough to raise the funds for a robust welfare state. You have to also tax upper middle and middle income people more.
2. To have any chance of getting the political buy in to do point 1, you have to make a big show of massively taxing billionaires.

All true but you could stop it all in January.
Bipartisan impeachment of Trump for Treason!

Trump is not “investing $60,000,000,000” in rebuilding Gaza.
He is putting $60bn outside the reach of US law enforcement as part of his dynastic planning.
Soon, it will become obvious to all that the law has failed and only bloody handed vengeance can be effective against this criminal family.

We need to be *very clear* that all poverty is a policy choice enforced by the very richest.
The aristocracy in the UK.
The oligarchy in most of Europe.
The billionaire class elsewhere.
The whole nonsense about “self responsibility”, work hard, meritocracy… all created to reinforce that.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Want to screw up society? This is how you do it.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.
