Remember when pirating media was easier than buying it? The internet used to be cool.

Folks, @deandettloff.bsky.social and I have been writing a book about degrowth and liberation theology forever and we’re wrapping it up this weekend.

Wild to be nearly done!

Would it be cool if we were just moving into a post-social media age. The internet isn't fun anymore. Unshackle yourself from posting!

Truly a strange feeling to have grown up with the internet being your refuge and cherished resource only to have it become utter shit and realize that maybe you don't need it and in fact can't use it the way you used to anymore

Good morning.

This video of Rep. Mike Flood getting roasted on stage is life giving.

There's a UNICEF study that says we consume a quarter of a kilogram of plastic per year, which is equivalent to eating a credit card every week.

Personally, I would like not to do that.

Brits have been consistently misled by both the media and politicians on immigration. I can't imagine that these people didn't know what they were doing.

And it's nothing new. Polling as far back as 2013 show this country has a warped idea of immigration.

Folks, you don't need ChatGPT for therapy or for philosophical stuff. Walk away from your keyboard, talk to someone, look at trees, read a book.

This is so absurd. I do not want to hear what the plagiarism machine has to say about God.

My dad sent me home with the AI-themed July/Aug issue of Christianity Today, to see what I think of it. Initially, I’m struck by this multi-spread add for gloo.ai, AI β€œrooted in Biblical principles” πŸ₯΄ It writes sermons, offers ministerial guidance, and β€œprotects your content!”

Trade union comms in the UK continue to kill me. Why do unions insist on making every piece of messaging from their gen sec? Why not centre members?

Nothing against union leaders, but I'm more interested in hearing from those who are taking the lead in organising their workplaces!

This weekend thousands of people in the UK stood up against racists and far-right thugs only to have representatives of a nominally leftwing government support, enable and empower the racists. Why do you not hear the worries of those trying to protect minority rights and liberal democracy?

I was walking my dog and a woman asked me if my dog was American. She's a dog! She exists beyond the limits of borders and nationality.

She's in a state of ontological anarchism––truly ungovernable! Unless you've got a good treat, then she'll sit.

End the failure of privatised buses in Scotland Forty years of a Thatcherite experiment has left bus services fragmented, unreliable & expensive. Public ownership is the only solution.

Actually the path to solving hunger, disease, and poverty is food, socialized healthcare, workers owning the means of production.

Alexander Dennis have been manufacturing buses in Falkirk for more than half a century and they recently began making green electric vehicles. They should be part of Scotland's future not an addition to its recent history of factory closures and our thoroughly unjust transition.
