"The cost, they say (tech oligarchs) for #AI is EVERYTHING that EVERYONE has ever OWNED. All of our data, all of our intellectual property, all of our land, water, energy.

Once you realize that's their framing, it doesn't sound like a good bargain at all."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave. Neil and Chris xx

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

I see Michelle Fadden on the train every morning
I picked up her name from a lanyard that dangles
Through fiery hair on her porcelain neck.
I’m out of my nut ‘Chelle trying to drum up the courage,
To tell you I’m Tony and I work there as well.

Find the people who remember the future
Before they and I forget.
When this clench fisted forest fire exhaust’s itself
Which it will,
Serotiny.

#pennedreveries - Day 16 ‘we belong’

They are here. Will you be long?
They want to know if we belong.
I don’t know what to say.

They want to take us.

They say
We are not allowed belongings.
Are you close by?

My phone is dying.

I heard a young person in the UK saying more old people need to protest as ‘they have less to lose’. Kids are scared.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Yes a legend. Died quite recently sadly . The Cork/Rock thing was on t-shirt ( or painted in a wall ) in a Sultans of Ping cover shot for the NME, never forgot it.
