..& will it be favored by unborn generations? It seems we are letting a certain type of tech vision take over.
Let me try to look behind that future that seems to be favored now:

Twin circulations on both sides of the Indian Peninsula decide the fate of #Chennairains now. With the MJO in Phase 3- firmly - indications of an easterly surge and also a low-level circulation would increase the convective activity over #Central and #Northern #TamilNadu
Moderate rainfall for #Chennai to start from the evening. Southern suburbs ECR OMR Region would experience moderate to heavy rainfall from afternoon City will start to get rains from evening. Rains are expected through night and tomorrow it is going to be heavy to extremely heavy
Alert/Vigilance - incident: A suspected #BokoHaram #ISWAP faction riding on 5 motorcycles are spotted in #GADARAM #KANGARWA village, #Gubio 1 ward, Gubio LGA rustling cattle from vulnerable villagers @HQNigerianArmy @NigeriaAirforce @local #CJTF @PoliceNG — action required.
The rustling of cattle from locals has become the easiest source of survival for desperate #BokoHaram #ISWAP factions -the #Northern #governor’s #forum should regulate the transaction of cattle to frustrate their use by jihadist to raise survival funds.

At the #Durham Diocesan Pilgrimage Day in February 2020 Bishop Paul Butler encouraged Christians to celebrate the distinctive history and practice of #pilgrimage that came from, and still exists, in the North East of England. 1/3

But the transformation from the source of security into a bastion of insecurity didn’t occur overnight, and neither did it come as a surprise; it was an inevitable outcome of multiple factors.
Before the 2010 constitution, the police was at the beck and call of the executive, which used it as a tool of coercion. The executive used the police however deemed fit to meet its political ends.
