Ok so Lam is clearly just millenial Thatcher. She looks uncannily like her and has the same contempt for the basic concept of compassion. The fact that she is a "rising star" in the party only serves to underscore their complete irrelevance in national politics.

My interview with rising star Katie Lam

“If you take something like asylum, the whole concept of asylum – it’s a 20th-and-before-century idea for a 21st-century world,” she says

Katie Lam: The Whole Concept Of Asylum Is Outdated

Why else would governments spend so much money on it for basically no return on their investment?

It doesn't matter how you communicate those dystopian policies. We all still know what they're for and that's why we oppose them. The sensible thing for Labour to do is to drop them entirely and go back to the drawing board.

Government must do "a lot more" to sell its policies online, the AI minister has told PolHome

Kanishka Narayan said that means "communicating in a much more modern way", and cited digital ID as an example of where government must be "winning" online

And then of course there's the other problem where ChatGPT could be sending your naughty conservations to the cops. It doesn't take a genius to work out why people might not want to upload their passport to use a kinky chatbot that narcs on them.

You see a real relationship with another human involves getting to know the person for reasons other than wanting to pull, and the two partners have to respect each other's needs and be honest about them to keep it going. AI tech bros would rather not do any of that which is why nobody likes them.

Honestly what's so pathetic about the "AI erotica" thing isn't the erotica itself. It's that these AI tech bros are investing billions of dollars, draining lakes and jacking up electricity bills just to avoid dating real women and dealing with the realities of being in a relationship with humans.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Do you not understand tankies at all? I've been in left-wing spaces and it's usually tankies that say trans people are bourgeois or something. Only them and the far-right say that, and you were parroting their talking points with a dumb liberal spin on it.

Ari Drennen @aridrennen.bsky.social · 18h

Tankies are always telling me how much they hate me and now they’re mad that I listened lol

I...what? Did Eric Trump just invent a new kind of heresy of something? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be God saving man, and not the other way around.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 21h

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Omfg why does she care lmao? Also the left aren't anti-electoralist at all. Even now they're participating in elections to get their guys in, and they're winning in NYC without the "far-left" which she thinks is actually powerful online. It kinda feels like she never stopped being right-wing.
