The near-term future is going to be quite a shock for a lot of people

Ex-leader of Reform in Wales admits taking bribes in return for pro-Russia messages Remind me, what has @bylinetimes.bsky.social been saying all along? Better get yourselves down that 🐇🕳️

Sure, until the Putin/techbro/free-marketeer disinformation machine is put into play #MaladaptiveBehaviour #AndyBurnham

🔴Nigel Farage’s Reform a Bigger Far-Right Threat Than the BNP, Says UK’s Leading Anti-Racism Campaigner Hope not Hate’s CEO Nick Lowles says Reform’s rise is mainstreaming ideas that were previously taboo even on parts of the far-right bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/n...

A little taste of what kind of thinking comes after Trump (when Thiel’s boy, the anti-Europe JD Vance, becomes President, which also suits the free-market extremists and writers of Project2025 just fine) ⚠️ Dark times ahead

Long story short: Burnham wins leadership election, deepens the fracture within Labour, Conservatives table a motion of no confidence, snap general election, and Farage becomes PM. Putin, free-market evangelists, and tech-billionaires all win. Everyone else loses. Andy, please think again 🙏🏻

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades. New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

OMG. At last. Someone spelled it out.

Aww, boohoo, libertarian free-market evangelist needs a bail out ⛓️🪚🤪

YES PLEASE. ALL THE SCIENTISTS. and fund their research by: popping a 10,000% property tax on any US citizens who mistake the Cotswolds for the Hamptons a 100% tax on all political donations above £10k a tax on PropagandaTV (lets say 101% of Paul Marshall’s wealth)

Financial Times’ new short drama about artificial intelligence, memory and truth

Can we all agree that Russia has been turning us against ourselves, and is very good at it?

Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

Dear Ed Davey, Elon Musk is the prime orchestrator of Russian propaganda in the West. He has used thousands of replies and quote-posts to boost the audience, reach, and incomes of pro-Russian accounts. Here, he is boosting Benny Johnson and Tim Pool (timcast), both recipients of Russian money.

Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X crimes YES FUCKING PLEASE!! Ed: - The regulator isn’t doing anything Laura (a BBC “journalist”): - Leave it to the regulator

Where there’s £ there’s death

“There are always going to be ‘passengers’ on the train … but don’t let them drive it” (Dr. Reid Meloy) *passengers = people with Dark Triad personality disorders (psychopathy, narcissism, machiavellianism)

Basically authoritarianism is an attempt by the wealthy (conscious or not) to suppress the discontent of “elite aspirants” caused by wealth inequality And it seems their weapon of choice (to win popular opinion) is AI I doubt that Turchin’s assessment accounts for this, or overshoot #WASF

“outrage is being driven by algorithms” (Anthony Kelly, University College Dublin) #HomoInsapiens #AI #Kimmel

Very clever and level-headed people want to chuck Musk out of their club because Musk’s rhetoric and ideology is a threat to “values of tolerance, courtesy, respect for others, and freedom of speech” Cue Musk’s attack on the Royal Society and scientists in general

Did the US really need persuading? “trade with the post-Brexit U.K. needs urgent development before London slips back into the orbit of the EU” (p188 of Project 2025, published in 2023)

“Each becomes what he condemns” Theil, in building the infrastructure of a global totalitarian state Dugin, in holding war, empire and death sacred

Human-made global warming ‘caused 16,500 deaths in Europe this summer’ #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Oh dear. If you have read Turchin’s book, End Times, you’ll know what history says this means 😬

"... the Witkoff and the Trump families that benefited both financially" (NYTimes 🎁 ) #NoOneSeemsToGiveAShit #CorruptionIsOKNow

Bills are tied to international gas price Low-carbon energy is not But the shift needs large upfront capital investment Result: households see lower bills early to mid-2030s, and larger savings by 2050 (circa £700pa) But it seems we are all 4 year olds failing the Stanford marshmallow test 🧁🍭🍩

The Daoists were not stupid … forcing nature or society aways backfires

Now we get to experience the increasing chaos of overshoot with authoritarian sociopaths at the helm. Lovely. Where’s the exit? #ThisCenturyIsGoingSoWell

The UK self-sabotaging the least authoritarian governance it will have for the foreseeable future 😵‍💫 Thought we had a few more years before the transatlantic shift towards authoritarianism settled in 🫩 #selfsabotage #naive #EarlierThanExpected #ReformUK

From island nations underwater to inland areas too hot and extreme to sustain life, the individuals and communities in these areas will need somewhere new to live. Where will these people go, and how will this mass migration add further pressure to the stability of nations and the world?

No.1 defenders of free speech clamp down on free speech

Been observing the news headlines at arms length … Everything is going as expected: wars, climate-induced harvest issues (UK), rise of authoritarianism … But I wasn’t expecting this fascist bullshit in the UK so soon #Bullshit #fascism #UK #ReformUK

👋 I’m off out into the real world again Too much “nothing can be done” vs “ this is what needs to be done” vs sociopaths running the show Be kind Be vegan Don’t fly Use public transport Grow some food Buy local Don’t buy shit u don’t need Delete Amazon Forgot social media was ever invented ❤️

People’s minds are going to shit. Buddhism leans towards wisdom right? Says getting absorbed by thoughts ≠ good mental health Social media = thoughts had and shared, amplified exponentially Therefore social media => poor mental health for the entire human race Wish I was a boomer

Holy crap. This is insane. The post-truth era indeed 😞
