Tax the rich before they kill us all

A new OXFAM report finds that the richest 1% of the world’s population is responsible for as much carbon pollution as the poorest two-thirds of humanity.

@breadandcircuses @ChrisMayLA6 These scandals are the inexorable approach of a republic. Like a snowball rolling down a steep slow it starts small and slowly but eventually gathers sufficient momentum, mass and force to push aside the status quo.
@epistatacadam @ChrisMayLA6 Perhaps abolish the monarchy and hand all that money to the public.

well, well, well... attentive to his public profile it transpires that when #KingCharles is revealed to be stealing dead people's money for his own projects, suddenly the Duchy of Lancaster is changing its #investment allocations.

This is a bit like an insurance company offering you a lower price only when you threaten to leave...they were perfectly happy profiting from your ignorance.

The change shouldn't be changing investments, it should be the end of bona vacantia

Last night, I deactivated my own Twitter account and walked away from an audience of 30,000 followers.

Due to the ongoing sponsorship of the Walkleys (by the same fossil fuel company that created them), I have decided not to enter this year. The Walkleys also declined recently to have Climate Change as a specific award category. I will be entering the Wokeleys instead.
I will be accused of being alarmist for posting this. I’m just working to keep history from repeating itself.

An observation on how #Mastodon is growing 👀

Over the past month, multiple journalists from top outlets have contacted me related to content I’ve shared.

While this was not uncommon on #Twitter when I was active there, it’s relatively new for me in the #fediverse. I suspect this suggests professional news outlets are becoming more comfortable here & posts have increasing impact. Good.
