I know, I know, change the record - but it's genuinely hilarious that there's a sinister musical sting as the President writes out the word ISLAM in this episode opening 😆 #TheWestWing

A lot of people are angry and I am too.
It is down to each one of us, the trade union movement, politicians, activists, and campaigners to offer a different and better vision.
A vision that puts hope before hate and that puts people before corporate greed.

How long before someone sees this post, takes it seriously and decries the Woke Transit System
Queer-coded transit news: the M train is taking over some of the F train’s service and the F train is taking some of the M train’s service. So, put simply, F to M and M to F.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

Like the BBC, Sky News also appear to be working to downplay the CCTV evidence of Israeli soldiers executing Palestinians who had already surrendered in cold blood, injecting doubt where there is none.

When something uses "AI" in any form it makes me immediately less confident about (and interested in, and appreciative of) anything else they've done. They've already surrendered at least some of their own intention and decision-making to a probabilistic algorithm, and so are less interesting to me.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
