A timely reminder, perhaps: The bottom line for sustainability is all about people; why else are we doing all this stuff?

Foreigners = bad. Big tech = OK?
Strange that all these hard-right folks complain about immigrants taking a few jobs (that nobody wants to do), yet not questioning the techno-onslaught of AI wiping-out millions of everyday jobs?
Chickens coming home to roost...

Big, big thanks to Jeff Lynne and ELO for an amazing concert in Brum, last night. One last time! Thanks for all the great music, over the years - the soundtrack to my life - and so many good memories. Nice one, Jeff!

Capital flight from USA begins!
John Authers @opinion.bloomberg.com: "The market response to the twin crises of the US defense withdrawal and likely tariffs on the EU has so far been emphatic; traders think the US will come out of this worse than Germany."

Just wanted to get this out there.
Time to get our "machines" out and make some good music.
It'll raise our spirits, in these dark times, and perhaps sort a few fascists out, too!
Good luck to all progressives of every shade. Keep right on.

Well, @ft.com.web.brid.gy - you made a surprisingly bad call with this one. I'd much rather a serious journal, like yours, might have thought of nominating someone who fought + died for democracy in 2024?

Democracy v. authoritarianism? Rather than normalising the latter, with an ill-judged person of the year award, perhaps TIME might have given recognition to someone who fought & died for democracy? What does this say about the values of @time-magazine.bsky.social and its owner Marc Benioff?
