A billion sausage rolls a year — and almost no one asks what that really costs.
My latest piece looks at the moral blind spots hiding in plain sight.

Few things illustrate the lack of compassion in our society better than the humble sausage roll.
Two almost‑identical options on a shelf. One requires the suffering & death of a fellow being; the other doesn't.
Our choice reveals who we truly are.

Lots of #FamousPeople "go #Vegan" for a while and they go back to eating bodies and bodily fluids, because they think it's healthier.
There is a lot wrong with that.
A: Practically every kinda normal #plantbased #lifestyle is healthier than a carnist one. That's a well documented fact.
B: Once you go Vegan, there's no going back. If you go back to a SAD diet, you didn't understand the #ethics behind #veganism.
You ate plantbased. And then not anymore. You were not a Vegan.

Do you look in the mirror and still recognize yourself? Look what the Christian Nationalists made you do.
WTF has the affiliation to any faith to do with life saving medication?
Can we please stop put people in files and just see them as people with inviolable rights to live, dignity, and seek happiness.

Watching ministers talk about NHS data strategy is like watching someone confidently rewire a house with no understanding of electricity. The language sounds polished, the reassurances are endless, but the substance just isn’t there.
Choosing a company like Palantir isn’t a neutral technical decision. It’s a long-term structural commitment with real implications for control, access, and public trust. Yet it’s presented as a simple procurement exercise.
And when political careers move on, as they always do, there’s rarely any reckoning for decisions that reshape public infrastructure for decades. That asymmetry should concern everyone.

What strikes me is how cognitive warfare is becoming something more than “just propaganda”.
This feels different. More personal. More precise.
Not only about misleading us, but about wearing us down — cultivating ignorance, fatigue, and passivity in the face of rights, injustice, and responsibility.
This report helped me put words to that shift.

#Bunnings Windsor Gardens has a lot to learn about customer service..
This morning, american accent girl "serving" couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge existence:
Me: "Hello"
Her: "Flybuys?" [Turns back to her coworker and continues chatting with him]
Me: "No, Hello..."
Her: "Cash or Card?" [Turns back to her coworker and continues chatting with him]
Me: "Card"
Her: [Shoves card reader towards me while continuing chatting with her coworker]
Her: [Hands receipt to me while continuing chatting with her coworker]
I don't care if your worker has the "major hots" for the guy working next to her, when you're serving a customer acknowledge and serve them.

BREAKING: Pentagon ultimatum to Anthropic (Claude AI). Remove bans on:
Fully autonomous lethal weapons (AI selects/kills without human control)
Mass surveillance of US citizens
Or lose $200M contract. Or face Defense Production Act coercion.
Anthropic resisting. For now.
This is the moment: private ethics vs. military necessity. Machines deciding who lives and dies.
Politicians have bunkers. We have hope. Hope isn't enough. #Ethics #Control #AI

Hello.
This is my nth attempt at staying on #Mastodon, after leaving Meta, X, and related noise.
I work around (dual-use) #technology and #ethics, mostly from my hometown, #Barcelona, and sometimes from the Italian Alps (a long love story).
I don’t have a clear plan for what to do here.
Maybe existing, slowly, is already doing something.
Perhaps I’ll post occasionally — or not; who knows. I might leave again after a while.
I love #philosophy, sacred places, reading both digital and paper #books, and listening to #music — all day long.
Somewhere in between, a #catcow walks across the keyboard and takes partial control 
My mother tongue is #Catalan — English, Spanish, and Italian also happen here.
Time zone: CET.
If that resonates, welcome.
P. S. Much of this is typed on a neo-vintage phone, complete with a physical keyboard — for reasons.
... Només un vianant.
