I reflect on our realities as we plummet into the anthropocene. Exponential growth is impossible on a finite planet.

Yes, while this has been partly pushed by the right wing in the USA, these anti democratic shifts are global and are pushed by the neoliberal project which works from all sides. It is oligarchic corporatism at play with greed at its core.

Hurricane #Beryl has twice undergone bombogenesis, a term applied to tropical cyclone increasing in power extraordinarily rapidly. This is linked to extreme heat in the Atlantic surface water it's now traversing. The upper ocean has absorbed multiple petajoules of extra energy from climate change.

Really enjoyed your book: managed to pick up a signed copy in Foyles. Hope it's in paperback soon. Everyone needs to read it. We need to dissemble the neo-liberal oligarchy. Pronto. Starmer's Labour isn't going to change anything meaningful. Unless we force it to.

Timid measures of the kind Labour proposes won't stop the rise of a new oligarchy. Instead we need a political and economic programme of the kind that General MacArthur oversaw in Japan.

Never forget who owns the Times. It has long not been a paper of record but a voicepiece for the neo-liberal project. Murdoch never sold his soul. People who live for wealth have no soul.

Overjoyed for Julian Assange but what has happened is not justice and does not properly serve the interests of transparency and pressure freedom.

Talk about leaps in logic. But then with this sort of magical thinking there is no logic. Which is why the EU parliament has been swamped by misinformed, brainwashed by social media, right wing youth. It's both predictable and tragic. Musk and zuck should hang in a rational world.

Those who believe unevidenced stories about hidden cabals and secret machinations tend to display no interest in well-documented stories about hidden cabals and secret machinations. The interview seeks to find out why.

The costs of the impacts of climate change far outweigh the costs of taking steps to prevent it.
If we don't take active steps costs are projected as ~$38tn/yr by 2050.

Climate Change and Israel in EU politics:
Antonio of @europeelects.bsky.social compared national parties' votes in the European Parliament on Israel's actions (2019-22) and Climate-environmental resolutions (2019-24).
Pro-Israel parties tend to oppose climate resolutions and vice versa.

Let's not forget that Christian nationalism was at the beating heart of all fascist regimes. Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa, Franco's Spain, Stroessners Paraguay, etc. And Jewish nationalism in Zionist Israel. The conflation of religion and state policy leads down the road to hell.

We need no more proof that the world is in thrall to capitalism than to recognise the immunity of the narco-terrorists and state capture corruptors granted haven in Dubai and the UAE? It is only because it's a hub for oil & money laundering that thugs like Kinahans & Guptas remain protected there.

Some in the west naively wonder where monsters like BinLaden are incubated. We need only observe the massacre & genocide of Gazan Palestinians by the inhumane cruelty of western supported neo-colonial militaristic Zionism. It's writ large for all to see. On this day of rebirth I fear for our future.
