The hot Irish summer has led to a bumper crop of fruit. Just had some of these delicious raspberries and blackberries with vegan ice cream. Having the rest in a smoothie with some carrot and beetroot from my tunnel

Could it be that trump has served his purpose by passing the BBB and now Murdoch wants to get rid of him because he is grabbing too much power and is uncontrollable. He created the monster and only has can destroy it

This is such an important article, about the simplistic visions now pushing aside scientific research and complex social issues. A must read. newrepublic.com/article/1933...

From RFK Jr. to Hollywood A-listers and Democratic senators, people across the political spectrum are jumping onto the slippery slope of nature-based solutionism.

I also suggest an alternative route, a politics of belonging, in which political power and control of local resources are returned to communities.

Helpful focus on sovereignty here. It is the key issue.

Putin and Trump Cannot Erase Ukraine, and Joint Efforts to Do So May Backfire

The point of repeating antisemitic tropes while claiming to fight antisemitism is to evacuate any meaning from the term "antisemitism"

what Trump probably doesn't realize is that Vance has now proved that he could be an even better ally for Putin. He ideologically believes in a US/Russia alliance. If I were Trump i would bring my own cutlery and food when meeting Putin and be careful about what or who I touch.

JD Vance just showed that he is a horrendous human being. A snake attacking a warrior and winding trump up to attack him too. Vance is the real villain. I'm v worried now what will happen if trump becomes ill and Vance takes over. He would never do a nazi salute but sure would support the sentiment

historian Timothy Snyder makes some interesting points about how imperial powers only become civilized after they lose some wars, if Russia is to eventually become liberal again it will have to involve them losing because victories only embolden them which would be bad for the rest of europe

a good analysis, Musk knows that Trump likes the fun stuff like going to the Super Bowl while Musk likes running things behind the scene. Trump is the head of state while Musk runs the gov. Trump needs X to stay popular and knows that Musk would use it to hurt him if he kicked him out

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).
We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.
This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

I just made the mistake of seeing if Joe Rogan has any regrets for supporting trump and musk but he was actually congratulating musk for shutting down USAID. The richest man in the world stopping resources going to the poorest has to be the epitome of evil

Musk is attempting to destroy the federal government from the inside while admitting that he is doing so. Typically excellent summary from Heather Cox Richardson.

Cosmic Karma:A large group of initial settlers on Mars set about creating a settlement. They work eleven hour shifts, as Musk expects. After a while Elon arrives and starts treating the workers terribly just like he has done to all his workers down here. Resentment builds which eventually boils over

A message is sent back to earth that Elon has become unwell and then that he has died.
Meanwhile the workers have set up a communist collective. All resources are shared equally and all decisions are made by a majority vote. Elon spends the rest of his days mining valuable resources

just like the poorly paid South Africans, who worked in his fathers emerald mines, which funded his lavish childhood in apartheid South Africa and his ability to study abroad and was the seed capital for his first investment on which all his wealth was created. And so the circle is complete.
