They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

“They are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state. We can see that happening in real time. This is huge amounts of data on every single person in America that can and will be used in opaque & unaccountable ways—and it is terrifying.” Must watch interview with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.

Good story on tech minister's overly close relationship to tech industry. Good to see it on front page. Now tell, the Guardian it's also too close to big tech & needs to kick the Google guy off its board. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's not Bake Off. It's a global far-right insurgency. To normalise Nigel Farage, is to normalise Donald Trump. We, the media, have to wise up fast. broligarchy.substack.com/p/springtime...

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is kicking off in 15 mins. Is Britain already at war with Russia? Why won’t the UK hold an inquiry into foreign interference? Sergei’s memories of the greatest KGB defector, Oleg Gordievsky, & is foreign money already flooding into UK politics again?

This 'interview' with Altman utterly fails to address @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's point (from earlier the same day) about copyright theft. There's an exchange 5 mins in, but Altman is allowed to evade with the usual platitudes www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MWT...
