There's a crisis-in-waiting for our society. AI is being shoehorned in, everywhere, at an alarming rate. Efficacy of AI aside, the near future reality will be more and more jobs handed to AI as employers seek to maximise profits. With fewer jobs and growing populations, UBI is a necessity.

Well, I think it's safe to say we now know what the impetus for these welfare cuts to disability benefits is. A so-called Labour government acting in the interests of corporate parasites. #RedToriesOut #StopTheCuts

I recently responded to an opportunity to give my thoughts on the hideous cuts to disability benefits. My MP replied. Here is that reply, with my reply to it. Second part of my reply is in the comments. Check out the double-think in the highlighted part. #RedToriesOut

“Eight months on from being elected on the promise of “change”, we’re beginning to see what Labour’s version of that looks like: sweeping cuts to disabled people’s social security. Change, it seems, isn’t coming for everyone.”

These cruel benefit cuts will rob security from so many – but Labour will lose something crucial too | Frances Ryan
The worst reforms since George Osborne will teach voters that politicians really are all the same. Is it worth it? asks Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I wish I could say I'm shocked, but, sadly, I'm really not. What an awful thing. The First Nations people went through this hideous shit and here it is on the agenda again.
A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse.

It doesn't matter how well documented the BBC's anti-Scottish government bias is, they just carry on regardless. That's called 'propaganda' and it's not done to engender objectivity in informative journalism. They wonder why the number of folk paying their licence fee is plummeting.
A formal complaint has been raised against BBC Scotland after the station's five day coverage of the NHS Fife 'trans tribunal' story. The complaint alleges 'bias by omission' for a failure to inform the public of a similar court case raised by nurses in England.
Please RT folks.

They slash benefits, starve weans, freeze grannies, and gut services—no cos they need to, but cos they want to. The cruelty is the point. Westminster’s chasin’ Farage & Trump’s playbook while Scotland gets dragged wi’ them. We love our folk—we dinnae abandon them. Time to break free. 🔥 #YouYesYet

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

In the 1980's Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher allowed the richest to buy all our Public Resources, then the billionaires used all the money stolen from you to buy the Government.
That is how we got to the hell we have now.

Apple TV+ is free this weekend. My utterly biased suggestion: Little America. Every ep is a short film based on true stories of immigrants to America. Some are funny, some are moving, some are thrilling. We wanted to make a show about immigrants that was, before all else, entertaining.
