The most interesting Scottish election commentary yesterday from Ailsa Henderson. Some good pointers for what the “independence majority” should do, at least in terms of tone, next: “I’m not talking about the rights and wrongs of holding a referendum or of independence, but just how people react to the... issue. And we pick up in the data frustration about the way in which the constitutional issue has pushed other issues off the agenda. We absolutely see that in the data. But one thing we also see is that the Scottish electorate is much less nostalgic than the English electorate. And the same is true in Northern Ireland as well. And the thinking is that by having these important debates about our constitutional future, yes, they may well crowd out debates about how to improve education or how to improve health. But they also do shift our temporal focus from thinking about the glory days that we used to have to thinking about how can we build a different future. And regardless of what side of the constitutional debate you’re on, that shift in temporal framing does change the mindset. As a result, the Scottish electorate is also much less angry than the English electorate…”show more

"Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large." "Scotland is annexed, a dominion under the English crown. And it is the English crown, not the fictional UK crown, that we're all told about. "Not a partner, not of any kind. In fact, the whole partnership story is a concoction fashioned to convince the world that Scots are part of a joint state and to disguise the fact that Scotland is, in reality, nothing other than a colony. "It's not a partner in a marriage, but a kidnap victim. And you do not escape from a kidnapper by filing for divorce from a fictional marriage. "Second, even if it were possible to break free through a referendum or an election, or to propose any other route that would be approved as lawful by the kidnapping state, the political system in Scotland would not guarantee any of the things that sing in our bones as Scots. We dream of justice, compassion, equality, prosperity and care for all without preference or privilege. "But what we have is an english system of concentrated power and privilege, which those Scots who enjoy it will not give up easily. Where the government sits in authority over the people, and the people surrender their hopes, their ambitions and their human and civil rights to the whims of their elected representatives. Where all that we hold dear, all that we depend on for decency, fairness and security, depends on the honor, honesty and good faith of those elected. "Because once it is elected, we have no means of curbing, challenging or preventing anything a government may choose to do, whether or not that's lawful, just, rational or humane. "Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large. Our helplessness in the face of the state marching side by side with destitution and despair. "This is why liberation was born. Because the route to the Scotland we dream of neither can nor will come through the present political system, but through the restoration of the political, territorial and judicial rights, the constitutional provisions that belong to the people of this nation, in law and in justice, even under the terms of this fraudulent union, and certainly under international law. "They mean that we, the people, are sovereign, in fact, not in sound bite, the ultimate authority of this nation of Scotland. "They mean that the interests of the people, collectively known as the common good, are not only the primary purpose of government, but the only condition on which it's permitted to exist. "They mean that we are entitled to overrule, remove or replace a government that violates that condition of its existence, that fails to honour its promises, to consult the people or to act according to their wishes and welfare. "And in the modern world, that means the right to all the mechanisms that we see in a nation like Switzerland, which will make that sovereign power a reality. "All this is part of what we call decolonization, true Scottish self determination. And it is the soul and purpose of liberation Scotland. "Impossible? Other nations have trodden the path to decolonisation. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. "We know now that we can gain our independence as a state by first gaining independence from a colonizing power. So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."

INVESTING IN OUR CHILDREN IS PRIORITY: Usha Vance was asked about her efforts to help the literacy rate of children increase, and it's something she's PASSIONATE about: "I think one way we can kind of counteract that is giving them the tools they need to be able to think critically and pursue whatever it is that they care about, but also the gift of concentration and focus in a really challenging world and I see childhood literacy is the start of all that." Our children are the FUTURE of the country, and we should be doing EVERYTHING we can to ensure that they have a foundational education that sets them up for SUCCESS!

Pan: I think about this effort in sort of three pillars of innovation, collaboration, and communication. On communication, we have really valued the work of Katelyn Jetelina…people are getting information in different ways now. The old way of doing things was getting it out on the evening news… and it’s a very different and smaller demographic that does that now. So, really thinking about how do you get information out in a different way and then get that feedback on what people are hearing, what information do they need to know to make healthy choices. On collaboration, We’ve already started these alliances with the West Coast health alliance and building on other kind of partnerships we had but there’s a lot of different emerging efforts as we worry about withdrawal from the global health community and some of the communication and coordination that’s needed—Dr. Houry is going to help us on that—how do we make sure if federal resources and coordination to decrease—how we can continue to uphold that science and communication. Then the innovation is also really exciting around thinking about how do we better partner with the private sector with our academic partners and one key area we’re talking a lot about is data exchange and how do we better work with healthcare systems and public health to improve and accelerate making sure we also have access to tools to do more efficient exchange of information, there’s required reporting of certain diseases or for all of us to know what are the health trends in my community or in my state—where are the highest portion people with the most uncontrolled diabetes or where is this emerging outbreak happening—how do we do a better job using modern tools to have awareness and have communication with our healthcare system so that’s another area we’re really excited to work on with Dr. Monarez.

Something worth thinking about: how did America get so extreme and so divided over the Middle East...and along what lines? There is a big part of our society that is taking a complex situation that is new to so many and making it a competition of which side is worse. I'm not asking you to draw any specific conclusions, but there is something to the nature of selective outrage...so many being so angry about things that they only see happening in what, in whom they oppose....despite how clear the situation may be. We have to focus on what matters - you have to be caring about the hostages and the situation on the ground.

We talked to Carl Pei (Co-Founder & CEO Nothing) about the future of AI in smartphones. "The smartphone is one of the best devices for applied AI." "It has the distribution, but it also has the data." "I do believe that in the next 10 years we will all be carrying another sensor as well." "Sometimes the phone is in our pockets and we need another sensor to capture data for us."

At the Forever Canada rally in Red Deer, one of Thomas Lukaszuk’s people followed me through the crowd and said he was there to “protect” me. I wasn’t sure how to take that, so we joked about it a little. But then we talked about something serious. A few days earlier in Edmonton, a Forever Canada supporter attacked an Alberta independence supporter who was peacefully waving his flag on the side of the road. The man tried to rip the flag away and pushed him toward traffic. That could have ended very badly. We both agree that that kind of behavior is wrong, and the person responsible should be in jail. That matters. We can disagree about Alberta independence. We can debate equalization, immigration, pipelines, federal control, Ottawa, the constitution, and the future of this province. But political violence has no place in this debate. Peaceful Albertans have every right to wave a flag, support a referendum, ask questions, and advocate for Alberta independence without being assaulted or threatened. But that is where we are at right now in Alberta. Full video:

Gov. Spanberger: "In his farewell address, George Washington warned us about the possibility of 'cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men' rising to power. But he also encouraged us, all Americans, to unite in a common cause to move this nation forward. That is our charge once more, and that is what we are seeing across the country. It is deeply American and patriotic to do so, and it is how we ensure that the state of our union remains strong, not just this year, but for the next 250 years as well. Because we, the people, have the power to make change, the power to stand up for what is right, the power to demand more of our nation."

I’ve made a short film. Look at the things around you: doors, bins, staircases, furniture, railings, doorhandles, windows. Do you like how they look, or not? Modern design has become boring, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The word “beautiful” is overused. We don’t need “beautiful” lamps, bus stops, and water fountains – we just need lamps, bus stops, and water fountains that are interesting, that actually mean something. Or, at the very least, not boring. Because the aesthetics of architecture and urban design aren’t just a bonus; they totally change how we think, feel, and behave. Boring environments make us more stressed and less productive; they erode our sense of community; they make us sadder, less trusting, and lonelier. A boring world is one where we spend even more time online and where our addictions are even harder to battle. The Problem There is global, widespread dissatisfaction with how the world looks. In this film, and the series it will lead to, we want to investigate that feeling and give it a voice. The point isn’t that we should return to the past or get rid of modernism. It’s about learning from the past in order to improve the present, and about giving the public what they very clearly want, which isn’t the eradication of modernism but the co-existence of modernism AND traditionalism. Just look where tourists go, where they take their photos, and that tells you everything you need to know about what most people find interesting or beautiful. And look at where people go on holiday. It’s always to cities filled with old architecture and design, with churches and mosques and palaces, with charming little alleyways and stone staircases and wrought-iron railings. Of the world’s fifty most visited buildings, only four were made in the 20th century, and they’re all museums or memorials. There’s a reason why posts about this go viral online all the time. Regardless of why the change happened, it is clearly the case that we no longer make things how we used to. People are rightly confused by the fact that old lamp posts (to take the example we focus on in the film) are usually so pretty, while modern ones are usually so boring. Some people say this is just an example of survivorship bias… and they’re mostly correct. But that’s the whole point! Saying old buildings are usually prettier than modern buildings is not to say that architecture used to be better, or that the past was better. It is simply to say that certain kinds of buildings, because they have been preserved, are good examples of what people like most. In which case... shouldn't we try to design at least some buildings in a way that we know people like? A Unifying Cause Everybody, from all sides of the political spectrum and all backgrounds, stands to benefit from a world that is designed more thoughtfully and imaginatively. The world could be such a colourful, meaningful, and thrilling place! So this isn’t about left versus right or conservatism versus progressivism; it’s about making our world a more interesting and meaningful place to live in. This should be a unifying cause, because everybody loses out when our homes and cities are badly designed. I want this film to unite people who think they’re on opposite sides, and to create a consensus that we need to change our approach to how we design our buildings and the objects – benches, bus stops, bins, lamp posts, aircon units – that fill our cities. The Importance of Details We are incredibly rich and have a sprawling choice of shows to stream, phones to buy, or shoes to wear… but everything feels more and more generic all the time. If you want to understand a society, don’t listen to what it says about itself – look at what it creates. You can learn everything about the Victorians – the good and the bad – just by looking at their lamp posts. And what do the ordinary details of the modern world say about us? That we are technologically advanced, very efficient… and care more about making money, about making things as quickly and cheaply as possible, than making our world an enjoyable place to actually live in. It’s important to learn about why and how things have changed, but that’s for another time. The first step is establishing that the public aren’t happy with modern architecture and design, and that something needs to be done. But what we need isn’t a total revival of so-called ‘traditionalism’; the truth is that traditionalism and modernism can (and should) co-exist. The trouble right now is that we only have one, and that people are tired of it. The Power of Noticing But this film (and the series it will, all being well, lead to) is about more than the specific argument it presents. Above all it’s about a way of seeing the world around us, a way of noticing and thinking. “How you do anything is how you do everything.” That is probably true, and it also applies to whole societies, not just individuals; a single doorbell implies everything else about the whole socio-economic and political system that gave rise to its creation. And, beyond being merely “useful”, the ability to notice details makes the world a richer place to live in, and life a richer thing to lead. This is what the film is about, more than anything: the power and joy of noticing. A Bigger Project This short film is just the beginning. We want to make a full series about the history of art and architecture, both for their own sake and also to see what we can learn about life in the twenty-first century and how to improve it. To keep updated you can join our email list over at our website, linked in the reply below. Final Words You can watch the film here on X, or over on YouTube, also linked in the reply below. So… this is where the dream begins, the dream of a new series and the dream of a more charming, more interesting, more meaningful modern world. Spread the word.

Polish PM Tusk: We know very well that Ukraine's independence keeps the risk of aggression or war away from Polish borders, and the fall of Ukraine as a result of this war would mean a direct threat to Poland. So we are also looking at this, in a certain sense, egoistically—that is, thinking about the Polish interest.

Warnock: We can’t allow people to distract us, even with the ideological differences we have in our party. If you think about some of the most spirited debates we’re having in our party right now—and they are important, and I don’t mean to smooth over those debates—we’re arguing about how to help ordinary folks. I’d rather be having that argument and be in this party than the party that is focused on giving billionaires tax cuts. What I want to see billionaires do is spend a whole lot less on elections and a whole lot more in taxes.

Chris Christie made a joke of UAPs during the debate. Reality: this issue has been raised by credible and decorated members of our military & is currently being investigated by Congress. We deserve a government that stops lying to its people and just comes clean about what we know & what we don’t - about WMDs in Iraq, about the ‘08 bailouts, about the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, about the origin of Covid-19, about Hunter Biden’s bribes, about how our $$ is being blown in Ukraine. We CAN handle the TRUTH. And we deserve a government that gives it to us.

The culture today is toxic. Media reflects it and amplifies it. As a society, we’ve become… Cynical about the motivations of others Simplistic in our thinking about complex issues Certain that we have all the answers Scared of the challenges we face It’s understandable, but unsustainable. And it doesn’t have to be like this. Progress happens when we’re… Curious about new ideas Thoughtful about hard questions Open to considering other perspectives Constructive about the challenges we face In everything we do at Freethink Media, it’s our ethos that makes us different. And it’s our ethos that makes what we do matter. Freethink: A platform for the people and the ideas that are changing the world

🇺🇸 GOV. NEWSOM: WE HAVE TO BE MORE CULTURALLY NORMAL AND A LITTLE LESS JUDGMENTAL Newsom spoke about the direction of the Democratic party and the broader economic and cultural challenges facing the country. He said too many important issues get ignored in national debate and called for a shift in tone and priorities: “We don't talk enough about interest rates. We didn't talk about incumbency, issues related to Israeli politics, immigration, the border in particular. We could talk about all those things, not just 107 days, not just talk about Biden's determination or lack thereof in terms of passing the baton. But I think there's a broader narrative that we have to address, that is we have to be more culturally normal. We have to be a little less judgmental. We have to be a party that understands the importance and power of the border substantively and politically. We have a party that needs to design and develop a compelling economic vision for the future where people feel included.” Source: DealBook

Throughout American history, we have faced mortal crises of our democracy. From the 1770s when we broke from Great Britain, the 1860s in the battle to end slavery, the 1930s and 40s with the collapse of our economic system and the war against fascism. At every one of these moments, the Americans that stepped up fundamentally understood that the world they needed to build could not be the world they had come from. That to protect the rights of their children, they needed to give them new rights, new freedoms. We are in one of those moments of crisis. Nobody wants to live in interesting times, but we do. Nobody wants to be asked to do the hard work, but we will be asked. And we must rise to the occasion. But as we do, we must understand this is not just about going back to what we had. This is about building something new.

"Money is a tool for reducing our uncertainty about the future. Undermining that tool raises social anxiety. Getting it back allows us to... ponder the possibilities of what we can do with the future. And it is thinking about the future that helps build civilization." 🎯

Another strong conversation in Red Deer was with a supporter who put his finger on something important: for a lot of Albertans, this is no longer mainly about oil or even economics. It is about freedom, rights, and whether Alberta still has a future inside a country that no longer feels like the one people grew up loving. He says it directly: this is not the Canada he fell in love with, and more and more people feel the same way. What makes this exchange significant is that it shows how the movement is maturing. It starts with the visible size of the line, the honking, and the energy on the street, but very quickly the conversation goes deeper. He argues that if people really understood what Ottawa is doing, they would be all over this. That is a revealing point because it frames Alberta independence not as some fringe impulse, but as a conclusion people arrive at once they stop assuming Canada still operates on the values it claims to stand for. We then get into one of the deepest issues of all: rights. He makes the argument that Canadians are taught to think they have rights, but in practice many of those rights function more like privileges that can be overridden. I respond by pointing to the first clause of the Charter and the broader constitutional problem that Canadians often speak as if they have American-style guarantees when they do not. That matters because once people conclude their freedoms are conditional, they stop thinking only in economic terms and start thinking civilizationally. What kind of country do we actually live in, and what kind of country do we want to build? He also makes a crucial point when he says this has gone way beyond oil and pipelines. He brings up unfair representation, the treatment of Alberta, and the feeling that the system has never really been fair to this province, only now it is being said openly and to our faces. That is one of the reasons the independence argument is broadening. It is no longer just resource frustration. It is about political dignity, democratic legitimacy, and whether Alberta is treated as a partner or as a region to be used. And the ending says a lot too. He brings it back to the kids, to affordability, to family formation, and to the people who are hurting the most. That is the deeper moral force behind this movement. For many supporters, Alberta independence is not mainly about anger. It is about creating a future where the next generation can still afford a home, raise a family, and live with real freedom and real opportunity.

"Many of us shed tears the morning after that vote." Bonnie Prince Bob "Not only did the SNP fail to secure independence, right, so it's a failed independence project. You only have to look at how invested the Scottish National Party are, in cultivating anti-British culture, anti-British state culture in Scotland. They control Scottish arts and culture, Creative Scotland under Angus Robertson, the Minister of Culture, the Z-ion-ist Minister of Culture. And rather than funding art and culture, and expressions of Scottish identity and Scottish national sovereignty and nationalism, that embody, you know: what is Scotland as a country, distinguishable from England? Who are we? What does it mean? Rather than looking at that, they will give an artist from London, a triple-barrelled, rich, privileged girl from London, £120,000 rather than supporting our local culture. But not only that. If the Scottish independence referendum was the most seismic event in Scottish politics and culture in a century or more, we have not had a single reenactment of it. No dramatisation, no funded plays. If the SNP were genuinely interested in harnessing the energy of the independence referendum, keeping it on the boil and then focusing it into how we win sovereignty in the subsequent years from that point, we would have had dramatisations, we would have plays, we would had all kinds of things that sought to channel and make sense of that event. Many of us shed tears the morning after that vote. Many of us had put time and effort and belief and hope and we wanted something better. And we found that destroyed. And the people, the people that were most satisfied and comfortable with that, were, those that were interested in one thing and one thing only. They never wanted independence. They wanted electoral power and they got it. And they got another 10 years out of us. The failures. They got another 10 years out of us." WhatTheX Discontent Liberate Scotland The SNP The SNPMedia
