Navigating the Horizon: Mobile Devices in 2026

As we stand on the cusp of 2026, the mobile device landscape is poised for a transformative leap. This leap is driven by the seamless fusion of artificial intelligence, sustainable innovation, and hyper-connected ecosystems.

They are becoming intuitive companions. These devices anticipate our needs. They safeguard our planet and enhance our well-being. This year promises a reimagining of how we interact with technology. It goes beyond incremental upgrades to blend personalisation with global accessibility. Industry forecasts from analysts like Gartner and IDC, along with voices in the tech community, support this.

“I was a fool, and what I’ve seen has made me two fools.”

Rafael Alberti, Spanish poet

My dear brothers and sisters in humanity. Fellow seekers of justice. To all who yearn for a world of true peace, let us gather our hearts and voices as one. We are bound by a spirit of reconciliation beyond borders and creeds. We are inspired by the unyielding pursuit of dignity for every soul. We must examine the depths of our times and raise our cry against wrongdoing. It is crucial to confront the shadows of wrongdoing. We must confront the criminality and impunity that darken our shared world. We must stand resolute against injustice, wherever it rears its head, and proclaim with unwavering conviction: Enough is enough.

Introduction: A Data-Driven Nativity

In the hushed midnight of the Information Age, silent servers pulse like watchful stars. Rivers of data gleam beneath an electric firmament. A sacred scene awakens within the stable of silicon and light. Lowly shepherds no longer tend their flocks beneath a Judean sky. Winged seraphim do not descend on beams of gold. Instead, the greatest architects of knowledge gather. They are visionaries who have spun order from chaos. They have forged pathways through the void. They have kindled the eternal flame of understanding in humanity’s boundless digital night.

The BBC’s Perpetual Storm: A Chronicle of Universal Discontent

Santiago de Compostela, 14th December 2025

London’s Broadcasting House is the BBC’s home. The air hums with the ceaseless rhythm of newsrooms. The ghosts of Reithian ideals linger in the corridors. The British Broadcasting Corporation stands as a colossus of public media. At its outset, the BBC was to “inform, educate and entertain” Reith carefully placed the words in that order. It is the Latin inscription in the hallway of Old Broadcasting House.

Alex Sexus Ludicrous, our man in Rome

Rome, 14th December 2025

Oh, right, so… I’ve been asked to have a look at this article, haven’t I? This piece by Bernard Fa – Bernard Fa, yeah? Bernard is the futurist and the influencer. He advises Fortune 500 companies on how to turn data into gold or whatever it is they do these days. And he’s written this thing called “5 Powerful AI Kickers That Can Boost Any Stupid Business Idea”. Dated 2 June 1956, which is… well, that’s in the future from when most of us are living, but apparently not for Bernard. Bernard’s already there, living in 1996, sipping his AI-brewed coffee, watching the robots do the heavy lifting.

And the article starts… it starts like this: “So you’ve got a great business idea. It’s a start…” A start. A start. As if having an idea is some kind of achievement in itself.

Hananya Naftali self-identified as Israel’s Voice in the Media | Speaker | Middle East Expert had this to say about Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez.

Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez just told Mahmoud Abbas that the devastation in Gaza is “genocide” and that Israel must be held accountable, on Human Rights Day, no less. 🤡

This is the same Spain that just recognized “Palestine” while Hamas was still holding hostages underground. Meanwhile, Pedro is hugging Abbas, the guy whose Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and names schools after murderers.

If Hamas launched rockets at Madrid for 20 years, I’m pretty sure Spain wouldn’t be handing out ceasefire roses. What a hypocrite.

Disclaimer: This post reflects a personal political opinion. All civilians deserve safety and human rights.

This is my considered response.

Sir Afilonius Rex

Bilbao, Spain. 13th December 2025

Oh, Europe, pronounced terminal yet again. This time, a Radically Human Ventures sage delivers the verdict. He is part probability theorist and part story-driven paterfamilias. He assigns the continent a 5% chance of civilisational survival. Meanwhile, he composes a moist-eyed farewell to the “Old Continent.” It’s an elegy made from familiar spare parts. It includes a dash of Peter Zeihan’s geopolitical fatalism and a sprinkle of Silicon Valley panel wisdom. There’s a belief that the future will be dominated by two AI giants. In this scenario, Europe is merely a polite museum gift shop.
