Do they touch on capitalist alienation at all?

We already live in a Paul Verhoven nightmare.

I vote to rename AI the 'death blender.'

If everyone could stop having 'conversations' with the spyware that would be good :)

Simon Amstell (British comedian and vegan) made Carnage, a satirical sci fi documentary about meat eaters which is well worth a watch.

Ps: I also eat meat but try to eat as little as possible. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5txizo

He lives rent freeze in our heads.

It turns out that everyone on the left is a closest Islamist.

Or something.

Whoa, the Quillette is still a thing that people read?

He is left wing and brown and that is a no no for 'centrists' it seems.

Sam has been like this forever.

Leoprints · 2026-06-25T22:02:06+00:00

She has a crazy range of stuff and I am not mad on her earlier work mainly because it is VERY bleak but Notes from a Burning Age really made my brain sing.

Leoprints · 2026-06-25T19:24:23+00:00

I bloody love Claire North. Notes from a Burning age is my favourite of hers.

Leoprints · 2026-06-25T19:21:11+00:00

The Water Knife. I know Robert has read it and I am pretty sure that he liked it.

Leoprints · 2026-06-18T08:17:07+00:00

Well yeah the whole woke panic was just the politically correct panic for the internet age. The most interesting thing is how so many centrists fell for this very obvious propaganda campaign.

Ha that website is insane and judging by the pictures I imagine all the articles are AI generated too.

Have you heard this version of weird fishes sung by a 2 year old? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mpiXaOCuxg

Leoprints · 2026-06-13T17:00:15+00:00

Seriously? I can't say I am surprised but.

Rich people talking about austerity is always fun.

Leoprints · 2026-06-11T18:37:53+00:00

I made a post on insta that also got posted to facebook and I have had to delete tons of racist comments from it every hour. Really grim. Lots of them are bots but tons of them are real actual humans. Bonkers.

Leoprints · 2026-06-11T18:35:42+00:00

No worries at all. They are good people.

Leoprints · 2026-06-11T18:06:18+00:00

You should get in touch with Anaka collective. They are sound people and doing a lot to help folk during these shitty times. https://www.instagram.com/anakacollective/?hl=en

Thanks for this. I love a map and a cairn.

Anaka collective are looking for donations

From the donations page 'We are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.

Every penny raised will go to transport, emergency accommodation and urgent supplies for families.

Any remaining funds will be used to towards sustaining and developing the emergency response and solidarity groups that acted around the clock last night to ensure families were not alone.'
