The left needs to stop delusionally believing that socio-political "consensus", or social-pressure, is somehow going to be sufficient,
& begin using *aggressive & systematic* citizen-journalism to apply leverage against abuse-enforcing institutions, groups, alliances, etc.
"The Elements of Journalism" is required-reading for understanding the difference between what "journalism" nowadays does, vs what actually is required.
The longer that the left remains within its "our social-pressure will work!" delusion,
the fewer survivors of the current-regime's process there will be.

Europeans seek 'digital sovereignty' as US tech firms embrace Trump
Here are some stats from the article:
"Use in Europe of Swiss-based ProtonMail rose 11.7% year-on-year to March compared to a year ago, according to Similarweb, while use of Alphabet's Gmail, which has some 70% of the global email market, slipped 1.9%.
Similarweb data shows the number of queries directed to Ecosia from the European Union has risen 27% year-on-year and the company says it has 1% of the German search engine market.
Signal, a messaging app run by a U.S. nonprofit foundation, has also seen a surge in installations from Europe. Similarweb's data showed a 7% month-on-month increase in Signal usage in March, while use of Meta's WhatsApp was static."
It would be nice to have more growth statistics from 6 months after the BuyFromEU movement gained momentum. 🙂

The Nobel Prize and a Testy Phone Call: How the Trump-Modi Relationship Unraveled
President Trump’s repeated claims about having “solved” the India-Pakistan war infuriated Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. And that was only the beginning.

Aug. 30, 2025
During a phone call on June 17, Mr. Trump brought it up again, saying how proud he was of ending the #military escalation. He mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor for which he had been openly campaigning. The not-so-subtle implication, according to people familiar with the call, was that Mr. #Modi should do the same.The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. #Trump that #US involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between #India and #Pakistan.

"We see the Israeli families who have been waiting for almost two years for the return of their loved ones who were taken hostage. We see the hundreds of thousands in Gaza who, after months of brutal destruction, are now suffering from deliberate starvation. We know that on all sides there are people who want the same things: security, freedom, dignity."

So, a bit of weird synchronicity happened today. The Eldest played their first ever live gig, using a laptop and a controller (after being postponed yesterday).
I got home and my cloud storage account was saying I was low on space so went to clean up a bit and found this video. It is from the day I introduced them to Ableton and using a controller, aged 8 (13 years ago). Literally day one of their music making journey.
I saw them onstage today, cross legged on the floor in front of an audience with virtually the same kit, playing music from their soul. Life is fucking weird sometimes but this truly happened.
(Funnily enough, the Lego in shot is also one of their greatest passions still).

I came back not long ago from a visit to #SandyPark, #Exeter's main #Rugby ground. It's one of the ones hosting the Women's #RugbyWorldCup and today there were two back-to-back matches between #NewZealand vs #Japan followed by #France vs #Brazil. There was good atmosphere and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Here are the flags laid out prior to the first match.
#NewZealand's women's #RugbyTeam is know as the #BlackFerns and they have their own version of the #Haka which is ceremonially performed prior to each international match. It's impressive to see live.
The match was action packed though mostly one-sided with the #BlackFerns dominating after an impressive initial try by #Japan. It's not worth trying to capture the action in a mobile phone photograph but here are the teams during a #Scrum.
Win or Lose, the #Japan team always honours the crowd afterwards by going to each stand and bowing to the spectators. I think that's a nice touch showing mutual respect.

Why the Transistor Radio Was Actually the First Smartphone (And What That Teaches Us About Digital Transformation)
Before we had smartphones creating personal media bubbles, teenagers in the 1950s were doing the exact same thing with transistor radios.
They'd escape to their bedrooms, tune into rock and roll (that parents hated), and discover pirate radio stations broadcasting rebellion from ships offshore.
Sound familiar?
This isn't just tech nostalgia. It's a pattern that reveals something crucial about how technologies actually evolve—and why our current AI fears might be missing the point.
Radio didn't kill newspapers. TV didn't kill radio. The internet didn't kill any of them. They all found new ways to matter.
As Marshall McLuhan said: "The medium is the message." To understand what's happening in our digital age, we need to understand the media themselves—not just the content they carry.
New newsletter exploring this pattern and what it means for our hybrid analog-digital future 👇

From Justin Miller: What began as a demand from on high (i.e. the Trump administration) and sparked a national partisan gerrymandering arms race, has become the new political reality now that Governor Greg Abbott signed House Bill 4 into law on Friday.

in reply to 🌴 Seph 💭 👾 • • •The image features a sepia-toned photograph of a person crouching on a grassy area, holding a whip-like object in their right hand. The individual is wearing a dark leather jacket and dark pants, with a focused expression. In the background, there is a blurred sign with the word "BIRMINGHAM" partially visible, suggesting the location might be near a racetrack or similar venue. Overlaid on the image is a bold, white text quote that reads: "If hard work was so fucking great the rich would have kept it for themselves." The text is in a large, sans-serif font, with a black outline for contrast against the sepia background. The overall composition combines the historical feel of the sepia tone with the modern, provocative message of the text.
