I think so much about middle class-ness at the moment. More research in news this week how it’s the top 10%, those with incomes over £36,000, who are largely responsible for CO2 emissions; but it’s even more than that; middle-class aspirations shape everything. So conscious of this now as I am so driven in finding work so as not to have to sell our (nice, middle class, highly mortgaged house). Then a friend just sent me this - must read. #ClimateDiary

This LinkedIn post resonates … wanted to share here just in case there are others who are in this situation too.
Also one reason I hardly ever add to this any more is that, of course, I am literally trying to #FollowTheMoney, or rather, divert some from somewhere to my bank account
#JobSearch #FediHire
@Flowermob Ah yes, classic move:
Ignore scientists for decades, funnel billions into denial campaigns, block legislation…
…and then blame scientists for not “communicating better.”
Next up: blaming the fire alarm for not putting out the fire.

I don't want to hear a peep out of any #GOP #PartyOfStupid asshole claiming to be the "patriotic" party, the "pro military party," the family values party or some other bullshit. STFU.
Heading into the evening and seeing more headlines from Reform UK?
Here’s something to chew on: we’ve traced the fossil fuel millions backing their attacks on Net Zero.
This isn’t about the public — it’s about protecting profits.

Mike Sivier says, Who’s funding Reform UK’s war on Net Zero?
Our latest piece dives into the millions poured in by fossil fuel backers, aviation tycoons, and climate denial networks.
It’s time to ask: whose interests are they really defending?
> CBS owner Paramount reportedly intends to settle Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/cbs-owner-ready-to-settle-trump-lawsuit-in-apparent-bid-to-get-merger-approved/
Translation: The #PendejoInChief is basically extorting CBS, who needs FCC approval for a merger. Still, CBS is basically folding like a cheap suit.
Imagine if we had truth in political advertising laws - with fact checking, & consequences - & real time disclosure of funding sources.
We could be so much more well informed when we vote.
Whose interests are served by not doing this?

FTA: "The only way to combat her anti-trans rhetoric is to let these fictional worlds move into obscurity, rather than boosting them up for another generation to embrace and telling Rowling we want to keep hearing her hate."

Correction: Oligarchy HAS been, is, and will always be in America. Where the hell you guys been? There, fixed that for ya. Will gringos confront it? Not as long as they see themselves as millionaires in the waiting.
Meanwhile, your tax dollars at work in the #BadEconomy

Duh..who knew? Fund managers fear the Traitor Trump Fascist Regime doesn’t have a tariff plan & that he ‘might be insane’
& fear this isn't only about his Nazi ideology.

> America underestimates the difficulty of bringing manufacturing back https://www.freethink.com/opinion/us-tariffs-manufacturing-in-america
This is written from a factory worker and trader POV, so there may be a point or two of contention but also makes good points. A lot of it is it was relatively easy for US to outsource. Given things now, it is near impossible to bring the outsource jobs back.

The move away from remote and hybrid working is also driven by commercial building owners wanting the income from office based workers.
There’s a similar monetary drive for transport and service companies, e.g. cafés, meeting the needs of office based workers.

Okay. I think I get it. It is market manipulation. His inner circle take market positions to take advantage of the massive drop and when he reverses his decision the market jumps. It probably is that simple. #FollowTheMoney
@kattascha Man kann sich relativ sicher sein, dass gewisse Herrschaften immer kurz vor und nach ihren eigenen Aktionen mit ordentlich Volumen an der Börse handeln oder handeln lassen.
Sich mir put-Optionen eindecken, Zölle ankündigen, Kohle einsacken, dann mit call-Optionen eindecken und danach gleich die Zölle erstmal für 4 Wochen aussetzen. Parallel versucht man ja auch, die SEC zu dezimieren. Hoffe, die schaffen es noch, auffällige Transfers zu identifizieren. #followthemoney
