At some point even these people's most subservient followers must be asking if they keep trying to change the answers, maybe it isn't AI, maybe it's something else.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Starving civilians bombed out of their homes are having to basically run up Omaha Beach under heavy enemy fire, just to grab a bag of flour. It should be very clear indeed what this is, and what the military force doing the killing is.

For anyone still wondering what Starmer really ‘believes’, this is it, this sums it up exactly.

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

Can't wait to see 28 years later on Saturday. Also a perfect excuse to watch 28 days later tomorrow - one of my favourite films, not least because it introduced me to this track and so a whole genre of music..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWNn...

Nothing wrong with well targeted capital spending - but nuclear and roads? The UK is going to be hammered by extreme weather in coming decades. No mention at all here about how the country will be made more resilient There is one hell of a shock coming www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Problem is lots of the people driving AI never wanted it to be truly independent, they just want another tool to shape the world, an automated propaganda and money making machine.

We are a state that prioritises political theatre and short term private profit over the needs of its citizens and the media have a huge responsibility for that. We are not a modern or serious country.

Amazing statistics. Ireland, in particular, could be transformed overnight if we gave up beef and dairy or just made it a niche product.

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

I think there's an under-discussed phenomenon that applies to AI, Facebook etc., even print media and it's that people using them assume that someone, somewhere is fact-checking them, that they wouldn't be 'allowed' to just print anything. A hangover from the days of......

The damage caused by liberalism is in precisely this dynamic: they absorb all the oppositional energy that emerges in the population naturally in response to the impact of conservative policy, and then throw it away, leaving people even more frustrated and bitter.

This study is a must read... Microplastics are an overkill for the biosphere Even suppresses the formation of Sea spray aerosols which are important for latent heat loss of the oceans and cloud formation Impacts on photosynthesis and deoxygenation of the oceans just devastating #climate #earth

A puff-piece about Wes Streeting from Andrew Rawnsley is no surprise, but it does remind us how much political journalism depends on an aversion to institutional (as opposed to personal) history and even straight-up gullibility. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

What the British media wants, the British media gets.

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

“she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror”

"It's not really about the girl, it's not really about abuse. It's not really about a sense of what the victims are going through, that is a pretext." Why anti-migrant riots in Northern Ireland are the result of online radicalisation and racism

This country's bizarre, evidence-free, sadistic, and self-defeating obsession with high-stakes terminal exams has never made a shred of sense to me or to anyone who knows anything about pedagogy. Why are we still having to ask this question? The answer is clear. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

Why it's almost as if "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.".

I asked a BBC spokesperson to set out any examples of the corporation drawing up specific plans to secure the support of voters for other political parties in the UK, but they were unable to do so bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Said it for a while, but today is really driving home the reality of this: Liberal "equality" was never about accepting other people as actually, really, fully human. It was about extending charity and politeness to the inferior scum, so long as they behaved and were duly grateful.

NGL stories like this just consolidate my worst doomerist-thinking. We're not going to be even close to being in a position socially/politically to change this for 2-3 generations minimum & that's too late/it'll be so much worse we're done as a species, the only q is how much we take down with us

I appreciate what this looks like, but for real: what they are saying here is that if the left broadly are angry about something, then it must be some dumb vexatious bullshit we thought up to get attention and make trouble. The lads just do not put much more thought into it than that, ever.
