This is on @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social. 100% this is his doing. And if he thinks it won't spill over to the rest of the LGBTQ+ I've got news for him. When you shit on your own family, it splashes.

I have broad sympathy with the govt on housing targets & planning reform but while we are reliant on private developers to do the building those targets won't be hit. More importantly, the wrong housing will be built. We desperately need truly affordable housing stock.

Of all the problems with AI, I think we neglect this one: it is the enemy of diversity. Trained largely on white, mainstream creators, it creates a bland, soulless art form in which no individual voice, no diverse life experience can exist…
