This is a massive hidden scandal, because this same clique of super billionaire/oligarchs, now control most of the media, legacy and social. They plan to replace a vast amount of human workers with AI and robots. Hence the concocted immigrant panic, as a distraction.
1/
These oligarch/billionaires are fundamentally incompetent, and are corrupted by their wealth, with fundamentally false vision of the future.
2/
They dream of AI creating unprecedented wealth for them hence this massively hyped AI bubble.

This false future vision is due to their tunnel vision, wealth accumulation obsession, where they lack joined up thinking.

"‘You’re barred!’: Labour’s battle with pubs promises a new year headache"

Either Keir Starmer is the most politically inept person to become PM, or he's a mole, placed in the Labour Party, to destroy it, and is pursuing some sort of hidden agenda.

1/🧵theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…
It is mind-boggling how much policy, and decisions Keir Starmer has made, which play right into the hands of Reform and the Tories, and make Labour unpopular. This is plain political stupidity. There's no rhyme or reason to his decisions.
2/
Every time I point this out, I'm told it's Morgan McSweeney, and he's behind all this. I'm not bothered if McSweeney writes out a script every day for Starmer to follow, because the buck stops with Starmer.

I made this post, in response to a mindless post by Elon Musk, claiming that 80% of under 18 year olds in Belgium, were foreigners, to aid his far right, racist agenda. I was attacked by his sycophants, all misrepresenting what I said and why.
1/🧵
My point was very simple. The right wing populists, white supremacists, centred in the US, are spreading their white replacement conspiracy theories and whipping up hatred of "foreigners", with no irony, that they are all descended from immigrants.
2/
Even in the UK, the white English nationalists, totally miss the irony, that their claimed pure ethnicity, is derived from Anglo-Saxon boat people immigrants, that swamped the Celts inhabiting Britain.

This pure ethnicity stuff is nonsense.

This is a very good summary, of the threat to our food security, posed by the climate crisis, with a few ecological caveats I need to explain. However, it supports all my threads about this.

1/🧵theguardian.com/environment/ng…
The big caveat from an ecological perspective is this. Most of these projections, are based on average yields, which is a standard academic approach. However, we need to acquaint ourselves with the law of the ecological minimum, or the limiting factor.
2/
Whilst this is often called Leibig's law or the law of the minimum, dating from agricultural science in the 19th Century. However, I don't want to get into the academic history of this concept, but rather I want to explain what it means for us in practice.

I'm somewhat baffled about the strategy of not only Donald Trump, but the populist right in general, and billionaires. They have taken in people, by making false promises and claims, which will soon be revealed for the lies they are. Climate change denial is a good example.
1/🧵
Climate change is real and happening, the scientific evidence proves it. Yes, if you got a big platform, and a lot of money, you can get away with dishonestly, denying that climate change is happening, because of 2 factors.
2/
These 2 factors are:

1) There is variability in weather from year to year, which can temporarily mask a changing climate.

2) The changes in climate, are quite subtle at the moment, and won't be noticed by those not paying much attention. But soon they will be noticeable.

'There is a growing risk that Russia could attack the UK, and the nation's "sons and daughters" need to be ready to fight, the head of Britain's armed forces has said.'

Our leadership, has a clear case of brain rot, I mean they are totally unhinged. The idea of fighting a war with Russia, is totally insane.

1/🧵news.sky.com/story/uks-sons…
The insanity of this rhetoric, is that Russia has a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons, so if Europe were to fight some sort of war with Russia, there would be a very high probability of it going nuclear, and mutually assured destruction of both Europe and Russia.
2/
I used to have some sort of respect for the military, even though I am very anti-war, just seeing them as practical people. But if they are only slightly serious about the rhetoric, the military are coming out with, these are dangerously irrational people.
