Author of You’re Not Crazy, the World Is: How Narcissistic Leaders Have Perverted Morals and Countries - available online everywhere.

We need to move fast on climate and we’re still going in the wrong direction. We cannot get there without social justice and equality - all eco and justice groups need to join forces.

I blog occasionally about how narcissists and other sociopaths are literally driving us off the climate cliff. 1% of the population but they occupy most positions of power….

On Israel nuking Iran:

"If you have a crazy leader and they feel that they are losing, I don't exclude it,"

The same has been said about Putin: if he's going down, he'd love nothing more than to take us all down with him. I have said the same about Trump. These men are psychopaths, they have no conscience, an unlimited ego, and are sadistic by nature.

Disgusting.

"Carney responded by saying, "I can outlast her," and then laughed, with Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow doing the same.

"I am disgusted with the prime minister for saying 'I can outlast her' because our people are dying prematurely. Shame on him for laughing at people who are sick and bullying a woman, and shame on those who laughed along with him," Grassy Narrows First Nation Chief Sherry Ackabee said in a statement."

Yes.

Also getting tired of the media looking to paint Lewis as a radical. He's really not, he just believes in collective solutions, publicly funded and publicly owned.

There's some new ideas for sure, but much of what he proposes is stuff we used to actually have in this country before everybody became obsessed creating opportunities for private profit funded by the public purse.

Well, yes the #Canadian #pacific #railway was built in 4 years. But we bulldozed through #indigenous lands and imported #chinese labour. Yes, it will take longer now but it is still a good, nation building exercise if we do it right.

I agree; too many world leaders are acting like Trump is an abnormality and when he is gone things will return to normal. Unfortunately the reality is that Trump is the symptom of a corrupt system and there will be someone just as bad, if not worse, in the future to succeed him. No one can trust the US again until they clean up their house but world leaders are too afraid of changing the status quo and that fear will drag us all down.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@randahl/116331035017175907

Normally, I would agree, but I could see people like Starmer slithering back to the USA as soon as Trump is gone. Former Canadian leader of the Liberal Party Stephane Dion said we just need to wait out Trump and everything will be normal again. Feckless, senseless, immoral fools.

This is not going to go over well with our narcissistic CEOs who both want everyone in the office and for (white) women to have more babies.

„By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions—known as source code—that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.“

Because if there’s one thing GenAI companies absolutely don’t take lightly, it’s copyright.
