We can’t go on like this.

In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary.

The right calls this “wealth creation”.

It’s wealth extraction.

Time to tax the rich.

The only worthwhile debate now is “what do we DO to rein in the USA and its rogue fascist regime?”

So far the answer seems to be <crickets>

So either there’s a global level fascist conspiracy, or every nation is scared of the 400lb shitgibbon and his million precision-guided Orcs

Neither is good

What a lot of Western media has always tried very hard not to let people see is that Venezuela was problematic because it worked in the wrong direction.

He broke the colonial economic model. 1/

To add to the madness of it all, the attack on Venezuela is clearly, above all, an oil grab. But we scarcely need oil any more.

Petrodollars.

Maduro went because he wasn’t playing “I’ll be an obedient US-aligned petrostate”. He was trying to decolonise.
A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Extraordinary rendition of a foreign national President by Trump’s praetorian Orcs.

No jurisdiction. No legal basis. No congressional approval.

A rogue dictator of a rogue state.

We were warned. Why was nobody listening?

Anything, literally anything, to keep the oil guzzling, wealth-hoovering, neoliberal consensus sat on the throne.

The Atlas Network must be overjoyed.
We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

If Russia and China do not immediately condemn the USAs illegal action in Venezuela, we will know for sure they are in cahoots architecting a new world order.
January 3, 2026 at 5:16 PM
Every single US serviceperson involved in the illegal attack on Venezuela is now no better than one of Putin’s orcs.

They are rogue and will burn in hell.

Insane.

The kind of ‘reset’ needed isn’t just ‘switch off and on again’ or minor code tweaks. It’s changing the Operating System. And their sponsors just won’t allow it.

#BirdsSeenIn2025

232 new species recorded across 3 continents in 10 countries, just by keeping my eyes and ears open, helped along by the wizard of Merlin Bird ID.

A 20yo pair of Bushnell binos & an iPhone does me just fine.

Maybe 2026 will be the year I get into photography. Who knows?

My wish for the new year is that it isn’t so unremittingly full of bad stuff as the last.

Bring on the good stuff. Lets make 2026 a roaring success

Just love this mural we saw in a community kitchen garden in BA today.

(p.s. for #birders, Merlin is quite convinced this is a Red Tailed Comet, so it must be true 😉)

Beautiful #bird #mural

This green-barred woodpecker and this maroon-bellied parakeet are smart enough to keep out of the sweltering city sun today (Buenos Aires).

Quick snaps on an iPhone, not best clarity.

Under this beautiful tree it’s a bearable 28c and the ground is cool to touch.

On the sunny side of the street it’s 37c and pavement is too hot to touch.

Green urban landscapes aren’t just nice to have. They’re survival.

I wonder, does hating migration cut both ways for the ethno-nationalist lot in RefUK?

Or is it just flat-out racism?
