Pretending the rise of the far right and the focus on issues such as immigration or trans people comes from the "legitimate concerns" of "the people" is not just factually wrong, it's a deeply political point
Refusing to see this as primarily top down processes is to protect the status quo

Tomorrow's papers today (if we had functional media).
Johnson, Gove, Rees-Mogg, and possibly David Davis were plotting with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and white supremacist Steve Bannon to bring down a British Prime Minister. Why this treason isn’t front-page news is a disgrace for the journalistic profession in the UK.

Elon Musk is now personally responsible for 9,500,000 deaths a year.
And he doesn’t care. Because he doesn’t think human lives today (apart from his genetic mutant spawn) have any value at all compared to the bollocks theory that he has about the long-term growth of the human race.

Horrific cost of DOGE cuts:
If current projected US foreign aid cuts remain in place, by 2030 "the projected excess deaths would be 9.4 million (95% UI 6.2–12.6) overall and 2.5 million (1.8–3.2) among children younger than 5 years."

Apparently the Church of England Synod has been incapable of reaching consensus on LGBTQ issues and will therefore continue to inflict pain, misery, and death (mostly in Africa) on innocent people. It has decided it would rather cause suffering than admit scripture is mostly nonsense.

Which part of “if you build your business on somebody else’s platform, then they own your business for free” have these people forgotten?
This post argues AI is having a moment similar to when you heard about some illness in China back in February 2020.
Tech workers just watched AI go from “helpful tool” to “does my job better than I do.” Everyone else is next. Get your financial house in order and lean into what’s hardest to replace
