When America, as it if not the republic will, emerges from its present dark place, history will ask the hardest questions not of those who bought into the poison but of those old white Democrats who passively enabled it.

One reason it's possibly even worse than that is the "regular" media is trying to copy Fox explicitly by hiring Jesse Watters basement clones like Scott Jennings to justify misinformation as a valid alternate form of information

The greatest danger of LLM genAI is its intrinsic vulnerability to gamification. It is why it can never be trusted. Even if it controls its hallucuinations, its reliance on a model that must keep refreshing itself makes it inherently untrustworthy.

Hot today, by my standards anyway. Looking to be a very fructiferous year. After a cold winter, blackcurrants are plentiful and ripe a good fortnight earlier than usual. The blackthorns in the lane are already bent over from the weight of developing sloes.

This is why the BBC should be restructured to become a bastion of objective truth. Ros Atkins and BBC Verify should be viewed as (nice) viruses that spread and consume everything else. Leave "heated debates" to others. Lord knows we need a factual anchor in this brave new world.

London has always opened its arms—and heart—to the world. For reasons of moral principle, and practical reality. Because it’s our openness that powers our economy, stimulates our creativity, and strengthens our global standing.

Reeves given £27,000 donation from lobbying firm linked to Thames Water bidder KKR. Companies don't donate, they buy access to policymakers to advance their interests. No matter what politicians say, people see this as corruption. Must ban all political donations. archive.ph/BMaQ9

For 11 years I have spent a lot of time arguing that the western world must oppose Russian terror and aggression. What amazes me is that opposing Russia is still something that is debated, not universally agreed on. How could we become such miserable cowards?

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."
