Frankly, this is madness. Reeves says "This is about getting Britain building again..." That flies in the face of the very reason why institutional capital loves residential real estate: The ease with which supply can be constrained. What's bonkers is that this is explicitly stated here by... 1/2

Could not be clearer that we’re in a moment of almost universal elite rebellion against any kind of restriction or limit. You saw this shift in all the rhetoric too; Trump I was all about the little guy but everyone dropped that and started talking about grindset and being “aristocratic.”

i think this would fix me

This is wild bc during third year uni i was vegan and slightly depressed so i drank this protein huel semi regularly so im just learning i was giving myself lead poisoning for a year 🥰

Dear editors minorliteratures.com/2025/10/18/d...

Amazing. Everything you just said was wrong. Life is not a mystery. Everyone must not stand a lone. I do not hear you call my name. It does not feel like home

i’m so sick of this cowardly use of language.

"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed." Helpful response by @eric-reinhart.com in @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2015...

we have got to start killing billionaires. is the first line that the villain speaks in the novel im writing. really though, in the real world, we have to kill these people. he continues

The @matt-levine.bsky.social line that AI companies have figured out how to win over equity investors, but now they must win over debt investors is underappreciated:

The whiplash from 'we are going to build responsible AI' and 'were worried about the addictive nature of these tools' To: 'Were going to build a porn bot', 'were building a additctive, endless scroll social media app' and 'were bringing back the addictive model' Is pretty big

A reminder.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

U use your ai to flirt and THIS is the value add??????

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

this shit is going to destroy the brains of a generation of students

Very happy to report that ive just managed to finish the second draft of the novel, and some of it i dont even hate 🥹 its a win #writingsky

"Where non-aligned countries wanted a seat at the capitalist table in order to flip it, today's polyaligned countries want something different: a larger slice of the pie on the way to a green capitalist future." Everyone should be reading @iliasalami.bsky.social! www.break-down.org/a-green-cold...

Turns out having a welfare state and a hoarding capitalist class isn’t actually sustainable

feels pretty bad being a cog in the giant machine that's crushing humanity, just waking up every day to shovel coal into the machine that's eating the entire world and grinding us all down to dust in the process.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

if i had to see another comic book movie why not make one based on spy vs spy ie ninety minutes with no dialogue and two awful little spies played by gorgeous women wearing cone shaped hats killing each other over and over with bowling ball bombs and exploding umbrellas

Fuck it lets go again, since i have the word Im excited bc the draft slowly getting finished #WIPSnaps

And i will protect it to the death

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

I am going to read this so hard when it comes out

From the (almost done!!) second draft of the long thing im working on theres acid involved in this bit #WIPSnips

I think that, in a time of rising fascism, unity and decency are mediocre political goals. I know they are "relatable" but they are tame. I think that "dignity and equality" are far better. Both have a basis in law, both can be quantified, and neither ask the abused to make peace with their abusers.

The framing of this still grinds my fears bc most of this article is AI shills saying “you see…. Companies simply havent understood how to properly implement, only then will the value be unlocked…” but its already been years! And the actual usecases mentioned are very thin

in China, the state retained an unmatched degree of discipline over private investment and they are now producing cheap and lovely solar panels. In the US no such control meant that investment is going on chatbots that lose money. Imagine what genuine public control over investment could achieve.

In La Repubblica, really extraordinary text (look at alt text), essentially saying calling this fascism is too subtle, that it’s worse and Hegseth is a lunatic. Who am I to argue? www.repubblica.it/rubriche/l-a...

It’s so cool how everything they do is an obvious negative for every aspect of society, and bc they are a propped up bubble brining all of our heads of state it continues to be foisted on us without any say or social sanction haaa

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
