Fediverse! I'm Clayton from NOLA. I nuked my algorithmic feeds to find genuine connection. By day: logistics, dog walks & hospice volunteer. By night: mixed-media art, poems, & costumes (recently: green anole, head louse). When not creating I'm reading, running, lifting, dog, cats, tuned in to #DemocracyNow or my local radio, watching #anime or #StarTrek, music, #insects, #astronomy, #math #Introduction #Art #MixedMedia #CostumeDesign #SciFi #TaoTeChing #NOLA #Running #IndependentMedia #WTUL

DemocracyNow reporting on a AI generated argument between Sam Altman and Naomi Klein is where we are now. The internet is increasingly LLM content, and because it's so much easier to generate soon it will be, or maybe already is, the majority. That will discourage actual content creators to create and readers to read, advertisers to advertise and hosters to host. This is the path to the dead internet. https://youtu.be/BbcC-hp687M #AIslop #SamAltman #democracynow #Naomiklein #deadinternet

Oooh - normally I'd rather use an RSS feed directly but this is one of those rare times that a fedi bot is on the side of good,I think. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat was just shared by @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss@burn.capital which, yeah, kind of important to be forthright about this? Just a little? And corporate media isn't doing a great job of that. A third of a million climate evacuees this week! among the largest peacetime evacuations in France since World War II with important facets omitted in other coverage: the firefighters’ strike in Madrid? They had been warning for years about being underresourced, ... they are in, ... Madrid, a conservative-controlled area where the head of the region talks about, oh, climate change as being propaganda. #DemocracyNow #news #Spain #wildfires #climateChange

these academics have context that bloviators lack: The extreme temperatures and severe drought conditions have created a new category of sixth-generation wildfires what's a sixth-gen wildfire? these are not normal fires. They are so intense that they create their own weather systems — right? — and making them virtually impossible to extinguish until the weather recedes just how cataclysmic? flames exceeding a hundred meters, so these are 30-story-tall flames and It’s extraordinary, kind of end times-class energy that is being released by these systems now. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat #wildfires #spain #DemocracyNow #climateChange

Give MPs a vote on NHS pharma deal with Trump

Last year the UK government agreed a deal with Donald Trump that will see the NHS pay pharma companies much higher drugs prices. This will cost the NHS £45 billion by 2036 – yet it was barrelled through by Keir Starmer’s government without transparency or giving MPs a vote on the deal. Research in the British Medical Journal shows that diverting NHS funds to pay for it would result in more than 200,000 avoidable patient deaths by 2036. On this matter of crucial importance to the NHS, the UK must

... Our system of #electing #MPs, #FPTP, means national outcomes often bear little relation to how people actually #vote

  • In 2024, #Labour’s 34% vote share translated into two-thirds of the seats. But that massive #majority hasn’t lent stability, because #stability comes from popular support.

Keir Starmer’s resignation is the latest product of the chaos of First Past the Post

Today Keir Starmer announced he will be resigning as Prime Minister. It is hard to overstate how remarkable that is. His government won 63% of all MPs on just 34% of the vote in 2024, gi
