The political breakthrough we all need

Hey, have you ever thought about the future like this? All our existential crises — climate change, the corporate takeover of the world, AI — are global crises. And they can only be solved if we the people of the world act as one. To get there we need a spiritual breakthrough — that mystical a…

An all new, wild and wobbly kind of future

We're stuck in a machine. Its gears chew through us every day — capitalism, war, tech, finance . . . mechanized reality, swiped and scrolled. It's whirring faster and faster every day. Cooking the planet. Bleaching the coral. Mowing the ancient trees. Filling our oceans, our forests, our lungs…

Do we still have some fire in our eyes?

I can't believe it. Raoul Vaneigem died. He was one of my heroes in the 60s. His book, The Revolution of Everyday Life , was such a powerful force. The idea that every intimate, little aspect of your life can change if you really want it to. Fuck, what an epiphany. That's how I want to be .…

TACTICAL BRIEFING – Stop the Zombie Psychopalypse!

Hey all you blackspotters out there, Here's the idea that scared the shit out of us in our brainstorms last week: Social media made addicts of three generations. Now AI may turn us into zombies. The more powerful these LLMs become, the more tempting it is to hand over your life to them. Bit…

TACTICAL BRIEFING – The revolution is in your spirit or it is nowhere

Hey, India’s cockroaches have captured the attention of the world . . . and now it’s 1-0 in their face off with Modi. Here are a few bangers from the battlefield: * Protesters had lots of fun filming themselves outrunning panting, middle-aged cops charging at them with batons. * They stuff…

TACTICAL BRIEFING – Revolutionary fervor is building up all over the world

Hey all you rebels out there, the excitement in this week's brainstorms is palpable: the Cockroaches marched, Modi cracked down, but Gen Z is fighting back with fuckitall fervor. "It hasn’t been feeling like democracy here for the past 10 or 15 years,” said Wishwas Srivastav. “It took us…
