I need people to understand how easy it is to hijack the #Eurovision televote. It doesn't take that many people Only 5 to 10% of viewers vote. It's a 26-way vote, so the percentages involved are low. It's entirely possible to win a country's televote on 10% of the votes or less

People have genuine, serious, concerns which need to be recognised and addressed. The problem is they keep being told that these concerns are caused by immigration, and when you are struggling you will take what you can as a reason. This isn't to say people are stupid or racist, just struggling. 1/

Large language models make me think of cargo cults. The belief is that by creating strings of words that superficially look like those created by intelligence, intelligence will later magically appear Or, in Chomsky terms, it's the belief that by aping surface structure, deep structure will appear

Transport section. Reform voting motorists, you may think Farage is on your side & scrapping cycle lanes will improve motoring exp. It won’t. It will push more traffic onto roads - cyclists who would have used the cycle lane and more cyclists driving instead. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

But this manifestly isn't a way to "counter" Reform. It's just an endorsement of Reform. If it's what Glasman believes, then he should simply join Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
