We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Also unquestioningly repeating this line, despite people who sign up to Reform not having to confirm they are UK citizens, as is required for membership to other parties…..

Not speaking to Green party policies per se, but legalising drugs is not a bad idea and anyone arguing it means "selling them outside schools" is plainly disingenuous. Prohibition doesn't work. Regulating, and taxing, them like cigs and alcohol means better safeguards, and more money for treatment.

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.
They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.
Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.
What a scandal.

Mamdani appoints trans woman to transition team and the usual suspects are raging
NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has appointed a Jewish trans woman, Abby Stein, to his transition team and transphobes are, predictably, enraged.

Since Trump's presidential veto could prevent the release of the Epstein Files, one way to figure out who's in the files might be to look at which megabucks donors are giving money to his political campaigns.
I.e. who he's blackmailing.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.
