‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

If citizens juries and wealth caps seem wildly optimistic, Kemp says we have long been brainwashed by rulers justifying their dominance, from the self declared god-pharaohs of Egypt.. to tech titans selling us their techno-utopias

Arthur's Seat is on fire and since Scotland doesn't have as much of a culture around dealing with wildfires, a small PSA:

At COB25, XR Glasgow called out greenwashing and Barclays’ sponsorship, despite their funding of fossil fuels, arms, and deforestation. Protestors shared the real facts. Many delegates listened 💚

While MSPs toast fossil execs, BP:

BREAKING

Protests as the Scottish Parliament hosts a celebration of climate criminal BP.

It is unacceptable for MSPs to welcome the oil giant who is fuelling the genocide in Gaza & has scrapped its climate pledges.
