Establishment media are now firmly opposed to anything that even resembles cooperation between the opposition parties. Labour, Social Dems, SF, PBP etc should see this for what it is: the Status Quo pissing its editorial pants.

As an author who has had 2 of his books on #DataEthics (coauthored with m’colleague Katherine) I have signed this petition. Tomorrow I will be doing something else about this fucking arseholery. I am pissed. They stole my IP for their fucking training data.

Just in case our irsh gov decided privatisation of water would be a good thing - always look at the UK #speirgorm

Rent in Cork and Galway city rose by 10% last year but remember to always "Pity The Poor Landlord" because that's why our grandparents fought for independence #DerelictIreland www.thejournal.ie/rent-prices-...

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey
