Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms:

"online video" instead of "YouTube video".

"online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".)

"music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist".

Do not give these company any free advertising by using their names.

Do not make them the default term for something.

Student debt at £231k!

Jo Grady, UCU's general secretary, said: ‘Overloading students with levels of debt this high is frightening. When those working in crucial services like the NHS owe six-figure sums it's clear we need to urgently change how higher education is funded. Tuition fees have become a new form of debt bondage and must be scrapped. We need a new funding model that instead makes employers pay their fair share.’

Ok friends I need you to listen closely:

Elon Musk doubling down and compounding his bad decisions is NORMAL. This is how rich assholes behave.

This is how they ALL behave.

We're going into a climate crisis. One that requires immediate action. We have unprecedentedly unchecked corporate power structures and an elite that has zero understanding.

And they will make WORSE decisions the more they are pressed.

The rich will destroy the world rather than admit they don't know what they're doing.
