SourceHut creator Drew DeVault is fed up with LLM bots crawling the site to death, and has some strong words for the AI industry and the people that work in it: (thread) "Please stop legitimizing LLMs or AI image generators or GitHub Copilot or any of this garbage."

The proliferation of these groups is a bit odd given it's all the same people on all of them. (And they have fairly similar policy views to most of the existing right-wing think tanks).

What a hollowed-out fucked-up corporate “local news industry” we’ve got, reliant on disillusioned poverty pay graduates rewriting dodgy press releases that are gamed for SEO by a casino, all enabled by Google pushing this shit through its Discover tab. pressgazette.co.uk/news/the-pr-...

Labour have played their first year very badly. Voters were at their most attentive after the GE. The end of 14 painful Tory years, and the novelty of a Labour government. Even people with no interest in politics paid a little attention. But Labour used that time to paint a hugely negative image.

I'm increasingly confused about who the actual Prime Minister is. Looks like I share this confusion with Morgan McSweeney.

"I’ve been voting Labour for as long as I can remember. For the last few elections (at least three) I have had misgivings about their manifestos and leaders, but... I have voted Labour... I’ve recently written to my MP to say that this is no longer the case, and I want to explain why."

No amount of “concessions” on disability benefit cuts will make them more “palatable” to those who will still suffer as a result. Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is always inhumane and unjust. It costs lives. MPs can't be expected to sit by and allow this to happen.

For the kremlinogists, this feels significant – McSweeney and McFadden have until now been operating hand-in-glove (often in a way causing significant frustration to others in government). So this first sign of discord marks a moment.

The Liberal Democrats have tabled a bill to legally require a Parliamentary vote ahead of the Government deploying British soldiers abroad, as polling commissioned by the party shows that nearly 6 in 10 Britons (57%) believe Parliament should vote on any UK military action taken in Iran.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” Starmer’s policy: a transfer of resources from the poorest, straight to the arms industry.

Chaminda's work on the disability cuts has been invaluable. This shows that contrary to many media assumptions that PIP cuts are primarily around mental health - they would affect lots of people with cancer, heart disease, and numerous other physical illnesses and disabilities.

Under anything resembling normal times, this level of political self harm would be unimaginable, especially over a policy which does not have public support, is counter to expert opinion, will cause immeasurable harm to individuals, and will undermine the economy. These aren't normal times though.

Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall photographed today wearing an Omega Seamaster watch worth around £10,000. That's roughly how much she's planning to take away from the annual incomes of disabled people despite a huge rebellion of her own party's MPs.

Everyone should be furious at Daniel Hannan. If you voted Leave you should be furious at how different life in Britain on 24 June 2025 turned out compared to his pre-referendum fantasy. If you voted Remain you should be furious at what Leave voters were promised. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...
