The only zero-sum game is our planet, not money, not health, not happiness. Those three are only limited by how we manage our society, our ability to live together.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?

"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."

All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

Having practiced in the unethical US system for nearly 15 years I fully endorse this message. Alberta’s dual practice policy will make care more expensive and less accessible creating a two tiered system.

I wrote about this just before the Canadian snap election in April.

4. the disregard for the corrosive power of anthropomorphism, which is taken advantage of by industry to sell & steal our data, in the base case scenario, and in the worst to abuse and push vulnerable groups to dependance and worse.

3.4 Anthropomorphism and other circular reasoning While opacity is a distinguishing feature of many other areas of science and technology, the myths surrounding computing may stem less from the fact that it is an opaque esoteric subject and more from the way in which it can be seen to blur the boundary between people and machines (Turkle 1984). To be sure, most people do not understand the workings of a television set or how to program their video cassette recorders properly, but then they do not usually believe that these machines can have intelligence. The public myths about computing and AI are also no doubt due to the ways in which computers are often depicted in the mass media — e.g. as an abstract source of wisdom, or as a mechanical brain. Brian P. Bloomfield (1987, p. 72) There is circular reasoning at play when we suggest and assume machines can think, reason, or argue like humans can, and therefore, treat them — and test them — like humans. Within human-machine 10 Against the Uncritical Adoption of ‘AI’ Technologies in Academia interaction research, often, AI technology output is compared to human performance, mistakenly assuming such benchmarks are informative about AI’s capabilities. However, correlations with human output mean little to substantiate claims of human-likeness, especially when the input to the AI models tested is the output of human cognition in the first place. There are so many cases of this from daily life and the history of science that it appears shocking such results are taken so uncritically to be cognition (Bernardi 2024; Guest 2025; Guest and Martin 2023; Placani 2024; van Rooij and Guest 2025).

Une Constitution n'est pas un modèle Lego sur lequel on attache des morceaux selon le goût du jour. C'est un document qui donne une vision universelle et partagée de ce qui constitue un monde juste et libre pour l'ensemble des citoyens, présent et futur. Cet article magnifique le démontre bien.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.

But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

In social media, suspension without telling the suspended account why is not moderation, it's schoolyard ghosting. I expect better from this platform.
