techcastrophe

Singular unpredictable random events that inflict devastating consequences of life, liberty or property beyond the occurrence itself that were directly enabled by a technology, not of the off-the-shelf variety and not immediately obvious to the human consciousness, which taken in totality can be seen as deliberate scattered plots invoking conspiracy driven by counter narratives distributed by media outlets to the obfuscation of all but the undeniable common denominator - technology beyond the publics' access.
The number of adverse events while increasingly devastating and seemingly unconnected and each random are not just common nor ordinary tragedies but a very real emerging techcastrophe to society as a whole. Take the Charlie Kirk killing whose death appears to be have been remotely detonated mic that Charlie wore on his shirt. Very much a repeat use of the RF radio triggered bombs that Israeli Zionists used to kill and crippled more than a thousand Hamas politcal enemies. Not to forget the airborne plane that fell out of the sky carrying a Putin operative - turned antagonist by remote detonation. Nor Sars-CoV2 global deaths from a virus that to this day has never been found in nature. 9/11 devastating deaths were wrought by commandeered technology but by whom remains undeterminable. Technology, high tech, is the new mass weapon devastating, untraceable and definitive in outcome. MH-370 is the penultimate example to date.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
