There’s something especially bleak about an industry dressing up exploitation in cartoons and sunshine. That’s exactly what The Happy Egg Co does - slapping a smile on slavery and calling it breakfast.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media — the 30-second sound bite (now down to 10 seconds kind of celebration of ignorance.”

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week.

Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK?

It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

The greatest threat to our democracy, freedom, and human rights is not Farage. It is the overwhelming majority of the British news media.

They promote Farage, and they protect Farage.

If they carry on like this, we will soon have no democracy.
