Half of progressive politics is Knowing Who To Be Mad At, and a lot of you bitches are flunking the course.

AI is a very general term, you have to be more specific. Do you mean the AI that stole my copyright, the chatbot causing teen suicide and psychosis, the deepfake porn of women without their consent, the bots driving political division or the ones polluting communities and driving electric bills up?

It took 24 hrs for the Johnson mass killing reporting to come and go.

Only days later no one is talking about how the worst PM in modern political history killed 23,000 (and possibly many 1,000s more).

We're not even discussing the #CovidInquiry

Think about that.

Let this short thread radicalize you.
Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.

His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.

He wasn't turned regularly.

He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

Greetings from Ireland where my mother was a big fan of Ivermectin and other crank remedies. "You're all in thrall to Big Pharma" she said, as she bought paracetmol tabs by the thousand and who died a few weeks after a dangerous 'treatment' by a struck-off doctor.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Things like this are never about saving money and they often increase costs. They're about making sure that disabled people feel a suitable amount of shame.
Rachel Reeves has removed Audi, BMW, Mercedes from the motability scheme because disabled people aren’t allowed nice things ignoring the better resale values and the fact cars like the Audi A1 and BMW 1-series are hardly limos www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/con...

"That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it."

They did the same thing for Covid. And it worked.
Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Or both.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*.
Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”
On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

Never forget. Never never forget the scumbag buffoon who killed so many people and scarred the lives of so many more.
Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.

This is precisely the point, BBC. Anyone challenging does not know whether they are challenging someone trans or cis "based on appearance". They just suspect. Based on what? Height? Shoe size? Grooming? Make-up? Clothes?

All women's rights put back decades, by a group of toxic, rich transphobes. 👏🏽
