Early morning round of trans women being excluded, ADHD being judged and sneered at, and young people being forced to work for their benefits.
May I say, from the bottom of my heart, fuck this Govt. and all who sail in it. Have voted Labour all my adult life, but will NEVER bloody do so again.

Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

Looking forward to what other regional employment tribunals the media will be reporting on en masse today! Race discrimination in Scunthorpe? Sex discrimination in Yeovil? Homophobia in Wrexham? Or is it only GCs who lost their case that get this treatment

It’s not much more complex than: Labour, Tories and Reform all regard Thatcherism, crackdowns and migrant terror as non-negotiable Grown Up politics, and everything to the left of that as idiotic, foofy, probably treasonous lunacy that has to be crushed utterly. The press agrees, and enforces this.
Labour, a supply side explanation for the rise of populism, and the growing acceptability of xenophobic discourse in the UK
I never cease to be amazed at how bad Labour politicians are at politics. It may seem arrogant for an economist to say that, but it’s not ...

ads like this one would usually be made with real actors and real production staff, who would get paid real money with which they could pay for their daily necessities. maybe even Christmas presents for their own families. now where does that money go?

So it didn’t actually make it easier and humans still need to do the brunt of the work?

'We crunched for weeks',
'got paid less than the cast and crew that we could have hired to make this far better and less creepy',
'damaged the environment',
'and *still* created weird, odd-looking slop that we know we couldn't keep YT comments open for',

I think this is the most miserable video I've ever witnessed. AI videos are already so uncanny they literally make me feel sick to my stomach, and the breakneck pace and deflating pessimism only make it worse. I've seen actual gore videos more comfortable to watch than this.

These companies are so vehemently against people making memories for the holidays. What's funny is that you can feel the executive loneliness in this. Literal scrooges making these ads because "how can people possibly be HAPPY during holidays?!" The misery of immense wealth fueled this ad.

Something bleakly funny about replacing real unionised actors and film crews making your Christmas ad, not with, say, a horribly crunched traditional animation crew but with horribly crunched, AI prompt writers pumping out creepy uncanny slop.

My grandpa was born in the US to German parents. He had younger cousins who were in Hitler youth in Germany. Decades later I talked with some of them about it (with the ruthless candor of youth). Why did you do that? What were you thinking? What they described was a lot like this.

The BBC News at Six is highly misleading. They present the story as if the bigot has won the case, which is false. To make matters worse, they end with their editor reading a proclamation “of the Supreme Court” that is entirely incorrect.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

My thread earlier focused on the discussion re. FWS - but I just want to draw this out really explicitly:
The press absolutely monstered Dr Beth Upton in the most appalling way – only for the Tribunal to find that Beth had done nothing wrong, but that Sandie Peggie had harassed her.

Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".
