From cigarettes to artificial intelligence, humans learned the hard way which innovations are beneficial and which need to be tolerated like a chronic disease. Civilization is an experiment, and we are mad scientists: too risk-taking, and always willing to be guinea pigs in our own research.

Russian gold reserves rapidly sold off to support collapsing ruble Read more

Worse, Muscovy is selling off its gold reserves to oligarchs so they can stop printing money & increasing inflation. The oligarchs buy gold to preserve their wealth through the collapse they know is coming. Gold is their last reserves & it's half gone. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/russian...

I get updates from BG website on a regular basis. But then I'm interested in green matters. For those interested in politics, it seems every man and his dog has & opinion. Client journalists constantly pushing a negative agenda for their bosses. It is tough, but won't change in the foreseeable.

The very unserious party run by ideologists, for ideologists with a childlike mentality.

Problem is, how do they platform the message without the media putting on a negative slant.

Went to Smythe toy shop yesterday to find presents for the grandkids. 90% of the products on sale were plastic, with the odd token wooden or cardboard toy. Plastic is cheap.

According to SK intelligence services, 14,000 NK soldiers sent to Ukraine, 6,000 dead or injured so far. Complete waste of life. Putin's running out of canon fodder, wonder where that leaves him.

Four options? Surely it would be more democratic for the 50,000 members to each put a name forward. And then vote on every one of them to produce a short listed final name? Here's mine: 'WOTSLAFA' (whinging on the side lines achieving fuck all). Got a nice ring to it, don't you think?

David Rubin and Benjamin Johnson, disgusting individuals pushing Putins agenda.
Good article Mark. Hopefully the end of Putin and his global puppets.
