This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

Why does nobody ruling us know anything about economics? Or do they know and are willfully destroying western democracy?

Rachel Reeves has just destroyed our economy. She has just destroyed our medium to long term futures...unless you're in the top 10% then you can just say "fucking awesome" until you realise there's no one left to bleed for you.

State support for UK banks

Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England

Who else gets this level of state support?
Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty
Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

Saw Sofia Isella last night at her sold out show at the Troubadour. It’s been a while since I’ve been back there. Love this young woman’s vibe, talent and artistry!

They looked under our skirts one morning
But all they saw were maggots
They bang their head on the wall
They fucked the art on that afternoon
The dolls are off running and laughing together
Swimming in the milk of the moon
Wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother

Paint popping off of us like rockets
Stepped right out of a fantasy, the words still stuck to our pockets
The beauty and the buyer, take the screaming one because
A woman who doesn't want it is much hotter than one that does
The doll people are gone
They don't know what happened
October 30, 2025 at 3:08 PM
Drink the dolls
Legs spread like butter
We are wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother
The beauty and the buyer, take the screaming one because
A woman who doesn't want it is much hotter than one that does
October 30, 2025 at 3:07 PM
The doll people are alive!
Or so they say
You can never trust
Never trust the art these days
To be admired takes precedence over admiring
To be desired takes importance over desiring
October 30, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Oh, the beauty and the buyer, take the screaming one because
A woman who doesn't want it is much hotter than one that does
Wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother
Wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother

The doll people are quiet
What is there to say?
Art does not interpret itself
There are men with a day to save
We are paintings with legs
We are art you can fuck
Drink the dolls
Legs spread like butter
We are wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother

Today's earworm...
TheDoll People
Song by Sofia Isella ‧ 2024

The doll people are not men
They are made of ass and glass
Our skin is clay and painted blue
Our head can detach
We are statues with a pulse
We are art you can fuck

Tackling the cost of living crisis goes hand in hand with tackling the climate crisis.

We need food security, insulated homes, and cheap renewable energy.
UK food inflation is being driven by climate change-induced extreme weather, driving up price of butter, milk, beef, chocolate & coffee

The price rises in those staples is contributing 40% of overall food inflation

Climate change is hitting peoples' pockets, right now

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose to destroy facial recognition cameras. Choose anti-fascism. Choose your gender. Choose socialism. Choose your family. Choose a kink. Choose your friends. Choose to ignore propaganda. Choose to be happy. Choose your algorithm. Choose your life.

I'm struggling to think of anyone who has, and is, meaningfully improving world peace. The negative voices of the world's leading bullies are too loud. Maybe we need a collective heroism prize for all those trying to stand up to the bullies, like the boat crews imprisoned by Israel?

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital.
Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism.
