Underworks

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes

A wealth tax is common sense, not rocket science. Of course people - including millionaires like us - overwhelmingly support it. £24bn a year for our country could be raised with a tiny 2% tax on wealth over £10m. It's time to #TaxTheSuperRich

It's boring and expensive but infrastructure is the best way to deal with the future. Water companies should have been building reservoirs, but they've been loading up with debt and paying dividends. Nationalise, build, and prepare for this being what summer is now.

Rewilding is the best defence against wildfiresRewilding is not the cause of Britain's worsening upland wildfires. Increasingly, it looks like one of the most promising solutions.spectator.com

Shooting interests & the rightwing press want to exploit the wildfires to reinstate moorland burning. But you don't fight fire with fire. You fight it with water. This wildfire in Wales' Elan Valley in May stopped abruptly when it reached re-wetted peat bogs: www.walesfarmer.co.uk/news/2614875...

Science not being 100% right does not mean science is 100% wrong. There will always be areas on the margins of science that seem incomplete or disputed. That doesn't mean the other 99.9% of science is made up. Just in case Lewis Goodall needs help understanding this basic fact.

To think there was a small magical moment lads in fancy hats would drive down the roads of London on Mini disks and compact discs. Look what else Sony has taken away from you in terms of physical media.

Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.

Yeah, Kat Tenbarge was much nicer to Jack Osbourne than I would have been, I would have just told him to go fuck himself. Also, if you're going to accuse a writer or journalist of using "AI" on the basis of em dashes, absolutely positively go fuck yourself.

You're not powerless; it's up to all of us to change the world a little bit youtu.be/RdzbHjJ7Z0w?... Feeling angry, frustrated and alienated is reasonable right now. What is going on around us should make us feel like that. But we can do things to change the world.

(Pretty proud that SkateBIRD is in here - it's ultimately not much, but still, collectively we can help a few) (Also please check this thread if you've been laid off, see if you qualify etc, maybe apply)

The real question we should be asking about AI regulation is who benefits? Because right now it looks like it’s tech billionaires winning and not people & communities.

Britain as a whole has to get over the idea that mowed grass lawns everywhere is a good thing.
