But oh no, we have sunk all the money into shit stuff like magic mirrors and bird choppers.
Or billionaires making vanity trips into space? Due to launch in 35 minutes.


I have no desire to go into Space, don’t drive so won’t be buying an EV, don’t live in the US and don’t have an X account - I therefore live a life free from Musk’s technological revolution by choice and proud of it. 🙂

Forget big tech and social media for a mo. That’s just the tip of the iceberg we’re sailing towards aboard HMS Modern Life. Probably make a case for Big Tech destroying communities, cultures, destabilising democracies and advancing autocracies. And how they’ve been allowed to wipe out millions of tax paying businesses worldwide, to be replaced by a few tax evading ones with all the consequences that’s had. Blimey, even bloody VAR is a product of Big Tech! Naturally, if you never knew any different you’re going to get defensive at older generations pointing out things were perhaps once better. But then why do so many rage against the Boomers? Is it because they possibly did have the best of times (before AI kills us all)?! ;)

You think today is bad for the impact of big tech. Just wait until AI and fake news reach their ultimate potential. Lies, fascists and Elon Musk will rule the world. Until climate change destroys us all of course.

Sleep well

Not affected in some way by Musk's influence? I wouldn't count on it! :(
