I joined @AaronBastani for this wide-ranging discussion on capitalism, imperialism, ecological crisis and what the future may hold. Have a look and see what you think --> youtube.com/watch?v=bjlqWH…
Underlying AI is a fantasy of pure domination, of an intelligence which doesn't resist and remains entirely responsive to whatever its master desires. The frenzied investment in AI, even as its capabilities remain severely limited, arises entirely from this libidinal economy.
“The idea isn’t to convert the French to Marxism…but to regain a taste for life, and to say to ourselves: we can do great and beautiful things again.’ There’s a reason Melenchon revived the French left. What a line, and what a guy.
Rail passenger numbers have been released for 2023-2024 and as predicted by literally everyone who knows anything about transport, they have already surpassed pre-Covid figures. Birmingham’s passenger growth second only to London.

Yes we need concerted action against illegal & hazardous parking in Birmingham but we can't shy away from underlying issue: sheer volume of vehicles in city of many Victorian/Edwardian suburbs not built for cars. Mass transit & active travel are solution. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Shocking thing about the left at the moment is complacency. People & organisations on autopilot, banging on about “austerity” and “neoliberalism” as if it’s still 2012. Gravest weakness is the failure to apprehend climate change as a real, material factor in people’s lives now.
See the tree lined grass track central reservation? Birmingham pioneered these in the early 20th century. It’s why so many arterial routes in the city have wide grassed central areas to this day.

The planned regen of the Grade II @HistoricEngland listed Birmingham Methodist Central Hall looks to have collapsed as the developers have fallen into receivership. A building of huge historic importance to Birmingham @BhamCityCouncil @WestMids_CA must now act to stop the rot.

Chimes with Dominic Davises’ idea of broken promise of infrastructure. Not about what RW Gilmore calls the freedom to stay in a place, but public infrastructure as transactional about only ever moving through

I really wish the media would point out a simple fact. Private finance is much more costly than public investment. Using private finance to fund core physical, green, social infrastructure pushes up costs for households and business.

Really thinking about the amnt of public infrastructure for just being outside on my recent trip to Lithuania while I watch the set up for Brum Xmas ice rink. Absurd level of outdoors detachment and resources
English harvest second worst on record due to excessive rain. Now think about what this is likely to do to prices and food security. Climate change is here and it’s affecting how we live in ways both dramatic and more subtle. theguardian.com/environment/20…
