It's an absolutely specious claim that artificial superintelligence will benefit everyone. Humanity's problems are not caused by a lack of intelligence, our problems are caused by greedy plutocrats like Zuckerberg. It's like a serial killer telling us we can stop serial killing by making serial killers smarter. Reading by Tim Foley.

The bread was designed in a lab to be furiously addictive, and the circuses track your preferences to serve you up all your favorite performances. Empire psychosis keeps us in a constant state of distraction and escapism, always scrambling to avoid the here and now like we're trying to climb out of our own skins. Reading by Tim Foley.

Transhumanism. Space colonization. Virtual reality. ASI. Immortality. These are all visions which revolve around escape. Escaping from the human condition. Escaping from our planet. Escaping from reality. Running, running, running away in a mad scramble to get anywhere but here. Reading by Tim Foley.

Doordash has reached a historic $131.5 million settlement to repay workers in New York City for wages the food delivery app stole from them over the last four years, which sounds like a big win for the little guy if you don't think about it too hard. Reading by Tim Foley.

I strongly disagree with the idea that it's unhelpful to bully celebrities about their position on Palestine. On the contrary, I think we should bully them more. Reading by Tim Foley.

The most obvious and imminent threat right now is not that artificial intelligence will outsmart us and escape our control, it's that it is being fully controlled by humans who are stupid and evil. Reading by Tim Foley.

Some Words About This Whole Caitlin Johnstone Project by Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley

I still believe humanity is headed toward a mass awakening, as unfashionable as that is to admit here in the late 2020s. Reading by Tim Foley.

"Not everyone will remember it but there was a time when this was almost impossible to imagine." Reading by Tim Foley.

"This is a Trump-appointed US government official knowingly lying to the public so they will continue to support Israel's US-backed abuses of the Palestinian people." Reading by Tim Foley.

As American rapper Macklemore becomes a frontline for renewed mainstream discourse about Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Israel apologists have been falling all over themselves to circulate the demonstrably false narrative that the artist has a history of antisemitic behavior. Reading by Tim Foley.

Awakening To The Truth On Every Level by Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley

American oligarchs kicking an artist off a tour for supporting Palestine is a very in-your-face illustration of why mainstream culture is so vapid and fake these days. Reading by Tim Foley.

Western liberal democracies are like a narcissistic wife beater who postures as a sensitive he/him feminist on social media. Like a pop star who makes a show of fighting the power and defending the marginalized while supporting Israel. Our society isn't what it pretends to be. Our entire civilization sustains itself through an endless river of blood, sweat and tears from the global south while making movies about fighting for justice and saving the world. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's so undignified how Zionists keep trying to resurrect the "stop calling it a genocide" conversation about Gaza when every relevant human rights group on earth says that's exactly what it is. The latest effort to revive this long-dead debate comes in the form of a letter signed by 5,000 high-profile Israel supporters like Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionist megadonor Haim Saban, and neoconservative war criminal Elliott Abrams. Reading by Tim Foley.

We have more than enough resources to care for everyone, if we would only redesign our systems to advance the interests of humanity over the interests of capital. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Israeli press has published three significant revelations about the Gaza holocaust, reporting (1) that Benjamin Netanyahu concealed advanced knowledge of the Hamas attack on October 7, (2) that Israel rejected a Hamas offer to release all civilian hostages immediately after October 7, and (3) that according to an IDF drone operator, the Israeli military was intentionally firing on civilians throughout Gaza during its operations in the Palestinian territory. Reading by Tim Foley.

“Antisemitism” watchdog groups are flipping the fuck out about hip hop artist Macklemore saying “Free Palestine” while opening for Ed Sheeran, and the western press are of course helping to spin this ridiculous nonsense as a massive scandal. Reading by Tim Foley.

You don't generally look at construction equipment and think of it as a tool for genocide, but in occupied Palestine that's exactly what this machinery is used for. They use it to knock down homes. To bury their victims. To conceal the evidence. Reading by Tim Foley.

"For us, opposing that river of blood is the only path to a respectable life. We have no control over the fact that right now we live in a society that is fueled by a system of imperialist extraction propped up by the barrel of a gun, but we can control our response to that reality." Reading by Tim Foley.

In a recent appearance at the Hampton Institute, Hillary Clinton stated that Benjamin Netanyahu's "first and foremost" offense is the damage he has done to Israel and its reputation. Reading by Tim Foley.

Join James and Phil as they hop into the Campervan to catch up on what’s happening (or what’s not happening) in the world of Doctor Who. Tender talk is rife throughout fandom, but what exactly IS going on with our favourite show?! Is anything actually happening? When will hear anything that promises new Doctor Who on our telly screens? Meanwhile, Michele and Ashley check in and review some brand new Doctor Who with the latest instalment of Nine Lives – that’s Dark Tides, the most recent Ninth Doctor and Rose audio from Tim Foley and Big Finish Productions. And not to be outdone, Drew is back with his bite-sized review of The Tourist Trap by Bex Axford, the second story in the new Eleventh Doctor range. And that, and the usual DWP silliness. Enjoy the show!

Today in dystopia, war pundits have begun suggesting that the US could recruit sufficient troops for a ground invasion of Iran by offering young Americans debt forgiveness in exchange for enlisting. Reading by Tim Foley.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Today in dystopia, a Pentagon employee has published a McCarthyite list of suspected leftists and socialists who can now be tracked with the help of an interactive map. Reading by Tim Foley.

Reading by Tim Foley.

In this dystopia, mass surveillance is now so normalized that you can be designated a terrorist for helping people avoid being surveilled. Reading by Tim Foley.

You start pulling on one thread and then the whole thing unravels. Maybe you start with the Iraq war lies. Maybe 9/11. These days for a lot of folks it's Palestine. You keep pulling on that thread, uncovering more and more uncomfortable truths, until eventually you discover that pretty much everything you've been taught about your world was a lie. Reading by Tim Foley.

According to the rules of our dysfunctional society, you are inadequate unless you've become a productive gear-turner for capitalism and obtained enough wealth to consume products at large volume. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's crazy this even needs to be said, but if you are a westerner your ONLY job is to oppose the abuses of the western empire. Not Iran. Not China. Not Russia, Cuba or North Korea. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Wall Street Journal has a new article out titled “The Hidden Debt That Apple Owes to the CIA,” subtitled “Without CIA funding that helped keep NeXT afloat in the '80s, Steve Jobs might not have made a triumphant return to Apple — and the iPhone might not have its foundational operating code.” All the top tech giants have deep ties to the CIA. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon. Facebook and Instagram are overseen by “former” CIA operatives. Our whole civilization is run by an alliance of oligarchs and empire managers. Reading by Tim Foley.

I dunno man maybe it was all the wars based on lies or the corporate ecocide or the live-streamed genocide or the people sleeping on sidewalks while billionaires become trillionaires or the plundering of the global south or the mass surveillance or the police drones or the Israeli torture prisons or the IDF rape dogs or the starvation sanctions or the proxy wars or the acts of nuclear brinkmanship or the encircling of our planet with hundreds of US military bases or the CIA black sites or the Epstein files or the government secrecy or the increasing persecution of journalists and whistleblowers or the fact that the US just openly assassinates and kidnaps the leaders of sovereign nations or the internet censorship or the way all western media and all Silicon Valley tech platforms operate as propaganda services for the US empire or the aggressive push to outlaw pro-Palestine demonstrations or the legalized corruption of western governments or the way AI is being shoved down our throats while data centers choke our ecosystem or the thinly disguised rush to develop militarized robots for domestic use or the glaring plot holes in the official 9/11 story or the glaring plot holes in the official October 7 story or the complete impotence of electoral politics in an oligarchy where the rich get everything they want or the vanishing ice caps or the vanishing rainforests or the vanishing wildlife or the plummeting insect population or the ocean desertification or the giant continent of plastic in the North Atlantic or the microplastics in our brains and in our blood or the fact that we live under a globe-spanning empire that cannot exist without mass-scale violence and exploitation or the fact that younger generations are economically far worse off than their parents and grandparents or the fact that ordinary people are having to work harder and harder as everything gets more and more expensive while the capitalist class reaps record profits? Reading by Tim Foley.

Today in dystopia they're really going after books. A library in Sydney has removed the book "How to Sell a Genocide" by Adam Johnson from its shelves after Zionists complained about its criticisms of Israeli mass atrocities in Gaza. Reading by Tim Foley.

Today in dystopia, police have been wrongfully arresting people based on faulty information from AI-assisted Flock surveillance footage instead of actually investigating the evidence of the crime. Reading by Tim Foley.

Love and cherish our world. That's the secret to remaining both (A) deeply happy and (B) well-informed about the dystopian abuses of the empire. Reading by Tim Foley.

Life in the 2020s comes with so much dissonance and dysphoria because everyone knows this civilization is doomed, but it's not being acknowledged by any of our mainstream institutions. Reading by Tim Foley.

Our minds have been carefully groomed to accept the imperial status quo as normal and healthy, and to see every failure of the system as a failure of the individual. Reading by Tim Foley.

"That's right kids, welcome to the future, where the sky is filling with AI police drones while the planet burns." Reading by Tim Foley.

The only thing keeping the heads of the oligarchs and empire managers attached to their necks is the limitations of human perception. Reading by Tim Foley.

I've seen a lot of people on social media expressing sadness and grief at the news of Biden's situation, and I agree it is very sad that this is happening. Joe Biden shouldn't be sitting at home dying of cancer, he should be sitting in a cell at The Hague dying of cancer. Reading by Tim Foley.

One point I will always adamantly insist on is that it's entirely possible to live a joyful and exuberant life in the midst of this abusive dystopia. Reading by Tim Foley.
