I feel like there was a time when you'd worry your big report launch being planned for weeks would come on the same day as some huge attention-grabbing event
but now big news event frequency is between [once every two days] and [ten times every one day]
so we just gotta plan for that now lolll
We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!
Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence.
Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.
If you need a bright ray of something to look forward to, e.e. cummings's love-poem to spring will do it: www.themarginalian.org/2023/03/20/o...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I suppose this is the point when I should say again that:
the amount of money the videogames industry brings into the UK economy every year is *more than double* the value of the fishing and steel industries *combined*
what this country is really good at is producing culture
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst.

🔴 NEW: Donald Trump’s controversial golf course in Aberdeenshire broke environmental rules last year by again causing damage to sand dunes.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Two drawings of the writer Emile Zola. They are the same, except the one on the right has hair made of snakes (you can probably guess where this is going). Left caption: Emile Zola. Right caption: Gorgon Zola.

More than anything else, I am pissed AF that we had/have a global pandemic and we *totally fucking skipped the roaring 20s* and went straight to fascism. I want drunkenness! I want excess! I want flappers! 0/10 do not recommend.
