I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

“When there is no longer any place to talk to each other, politics becomes a face-off between the isolated individual and the grand narratives of the media – and in this face-off, discourses that offer simple answers have a structural advantage,” the study adds.

I love that im waking up to the sound of birds again. Urban wildlife not exactly thriving here but the robin in the garden feels like starting the day to the sound of hope.

YES! This is AMAZING! 🎉

Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights!

IT WORKS! ✊🔒

Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform.

But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere.

This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others.

Celebrate that. And keep pushing back.

"Recent research published in Science warns of the danger of "AI swarms." 2better understand the risk,these are systems t deploy thousands of fake profiles t don't simply repeat a slogan,but interact,adapt, &evolve 2create the illusion of a majority social consensus around an idea.
It becomes clear, then, t "synthetic consensus" is far more dangerous than a single piece of fake news,or the work t bot farms cld do before the development of AI

The Allegory of the Cave 2.0: when AI casts shadows on the wall

For us today, the cave wall is the screen of our phones and televisions; the shadows are not cast by statues, but by algorithms, deepfakes, AI swarms, and neuromarketing techniques

Special bricks to help birds put in every new home in #Scotland

29 January 2026

"A new law has been passed in Scotland which means that every new house built in the country will have to have a #SwiftBrick in them.

"A swift brick looks a bit like a normal brick, but it's hollow inside to allow birds - like swifts - to nest in them.

"According to charity #RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) the number of swifts in the UK has fallen by around 66% over the last 25 years.

"Conservationists say this is because of a lack of bugs to eat and places to nest.

"Swifts normally like to nest in little holes under the roofs of people's houses, and once they find a cosy nest, they will return to the same place every year.

"Scottish MPs hope that the new rules will help give the birds a boost."
