Simple rule: Stop setting carbon on fire to make energy. It ain't sustainable.

BUY SOMETHING!

Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.

It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.

So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

Don’t forget you have one week (in the UK) before LinkedIn starts quietly using ALL of your visible content to train AI.

It's unsurprisingly an Opt Out system so most users will be blithely unaware.

The relevant toggle is in Settings - privacy and data. You know what to do.

Ethnic minority nurses are being called a β€œcreature” and β€œslaves” by patients, as well as abuse by fellow members of staff – with one nurse reporting a colleague said they wanted to β€œremind you that you’re not one of us”.

Given that farmers, as with everyone, are really getting hit by energy price greedflation, there is an opportunity to counter this which maybe is something @zackpolanski.bsky.social would be interested in

Zack’s campaign film got almost 3M organic views.
Because of Zack’s reach. Because of the urgency. But also because of how it was built β€” structure, rhythm, framing.

The far right is winning the narrative war with emotion. Our side is shouting facts into the void.

It's not working.

My new blog introduces "Emotioneering"β€”the art of moving people on purpose. If it doesn't make people feel, it isn't comms.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that β€œslamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

These things are a complete waste of time
