It's too late to expect proper justice for Trump. He'd die before legal process was complete. But I very sincerely hope that before his much-longed-for departure, he will know that everyone who counts recognised him for what he is. Even his toadies did.

And formally provably so because to drive you need theory of mind. You can indeed show with maths the limits of maths since it's a formal engineered system with knowable limits, see Gödel etc. We created trains which ban humans from tracks so the system can be safely automated, not so for roads. 1/n

Solidarity expressed by journalists towards photographers & reporters fired at the Washington Post is admirable.It’s been described as an ‘absolute bloodbath’. But why has solidarity for their Palestinian colleagues been so muted ? It literally is a bloodbath, 257 journalists murdered in 27 months.

If you want to help many families but don't know which ones, here is Keep Hope Alive that helps six families. It helps with covering rent, food, medicine, clothing. Basic needs to survive. Regular donations help the most. chuffed.org/project/hope...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

You belong where your feet take you. Don't perform to get paid in affirmation. Your intentions matter in the effects they have on others, not a will for your intentions to be good. Felt thoughts by @berondam.bsky.social in conversation w @chanda.blacksky.app's lived questions echo deep. Thank you.

Why won't Malinauskas's South Australian Labor govt release govt data & info on the impacts of SA's devastating, extended marine algal bloom❓ What did the govt investigate or decline to investigate❓ What are they hiding❓ SA voters deserve transparency & accountability

“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said. “Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back. “Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Are there moral limits to advancing a research career? "Antonio Damasio..the director of USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute approached Jeffrey Epstein in 2013 and asked the convicted child sex offender to fund robotics neuroscience research" #AcademicSky www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2026/02/02/u...

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files. It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

"Corporate profits explained 69% of inflation between 2020 & 2023, while wages accounted for just 18%. Coles & Woolworths together pocketed nearly $2.7 billion in 2023 profits [..] Real wages have fallen 4.8% since March 2020; the longest sustained decline since records began in 1959."

"why is a supermarket chain using technology designed for militarised data analysis? ... They don’t recognise dignity, compassion, or burnout.They calculate your “maximum output per paid hour” then pursue it relentlessly. ...

TAKE ACTION In a world already reeling from damages caused by the current level of climate warming, how does it make sense to enable fracking of the Kimberley landscape, polluting rivers & aquifers for further fossil fuel extraction⁉️ Lodge an appeal AGAINST WA EPA's recommendation by 10 Feb 2026👇

“Political will” is invoked like magic fairy dust or an abstract variable. It isn’t. If scientists want their evidence to matter, they need to ask how political will is built through organising, mobilisation, & social movements that generate sustained pressure across society & force political action

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?" Peter Thiel. Jeffrey Epstein. Palantir. The UK Government.

Left populism says politics is broken, government is failing people - and it is. But then it says "vote for us and we'll fix it for you". I’ve been working on these thoughts for a while. Would love your engagement and thoughts.

Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now … Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto Disability benefit cuts… not in there either Cutting jury trials… also not there Digital ID… no mention Raising employers NI… nope Freezing tax threholds… nah Contracts with Palantir… no

Regardless, as I wrote last week, after the killing of Alex Pretti and Rene Good, the lines have been drawn. Amazon is not merely complicit in ICE operations, its digital infrastructure is crucial to facilitating them. Bezos has chosen his side.

Bezos isn't just using his power to help crush the free press, and Amazon is not simply profiting from its government contracts. Amazon and the Trump administration have converged on a shared program enabled by mass surveillance, dehumanization, and the elimination of opposing voices

With Jeff Bezos's dismantling of the Washington Post and Amazon's extensive ICE and DoD profiteering, it's imperative to understand precisely how both have openly become instruments of authoritarianism

Israel gets booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Presenter makes note of it, too, says it's the first time they've heard booing all night.

Minns seems to have a view shared by much of Australia's political and media class that calling out genocide/racism is a much greater sin than committing genocide/racism.

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today. The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers. #ShowYourStripes

Starmer's reported condition - incredibly unpopular, shorn of authority, probably un-reelectable and yet will stagger on for want of an alternative - is just the new normal of how Britain is governed. It was also true for two-thirds of May's premiership, half of Johnson's and all of Sunak's.
