“You are responsible for what you put out into the world, and you are responsible for its consequences. Stop functioning as an unpaid empire propagandist just because it's sometimes awkward not to.“ https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/why-dont-you-ever-criticize-russias?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
"We are now in a very bad situation, because I think it’s a historic wrong decision, for it’s against the majority of the population in Germany. According to new polls, the majority in Germany is against sending battle tanks to Ukraine. The majority is in favor for more diplomacy, for a negotiated peace in Ukraine," Dagdelen, who is member of the Left party, told a German news outlet on Thursday.
Funny how the tone of reporting on Ukraine has changed completely https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/the-mass-media-used-to-publish-perspectives?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

HS 2 will undermine the revenues of existing railway lines. It creates extra capacity when there are too few passengers. The costs are far too high with no credible plan on how to pay back the money spent. People near the works resent it and taxpayers will come to regret it.

Some of us want it to get better for everyone, because some of us aren't silly and selfish

“This is just little England elites drunk on the memory of a British empire that no longer exists. We have the lowest pensions in Europe, the lowest sick pay, we pretend the minimum wage is a living wage when it’s not. We miss our own economic targets time and time again... https://twitter.com/Tartan1320/status/1611031080710164482
The essence of privilege is that hard work isn't needed, just having the right face in the right place.
Which is absolutely all that Johnson and all the rest of the incompetent, lying, venal crew have going for them.
They're like light bulbs that make it seem dimmer.

Happy 79th birthday to the legendary activist, marxist, scholar and author Angela Davis.

If you’ve been laid off, please let me tell you something.
The best chances for landing your next gig are not through LinkedIn, Indeed, or anything like that. It’s through the people you’ve worked with before.
Start there. Keep checking in with them periodically. Don’t worry that you’ll be a bother, because they’d want the same from you.
And please, PLEASE be gentle on yourself. Job hunting and interviewing is hard and a deeply flawed, chaotic process.
