French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Have a societal problem? Is it due to a range of complex factors and previous failures? Will it take significant investment and dedication to solve, more than you're willing or able to put into it?
Well don't worry, just announce that teachers will fix it! They've not got much else on.

Charlotte Proudman: No child should ever be bound to a man who raped her mother
The High Court ruling that a child must keep the name of the man who raped her mother reveals a deep problem in our family courts, says Charlotte Proudman.

Errr... Would this not include someone who has Nigerian citizenship through her parents, and who has admitted to hacking Harriet Harman's website, a crime which at the time carried a maximum sentence of five years?

As per fucking usual. Cops lie. Press lie. MPs lie. Families campaign in pain and anger. The truth comes out and no one, NO ONE gets punished no cops go to jail. Again and again and again it’s the same story but what is wrong with the justice system? Too many jury trials.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

For 20+ years I've got my info on Israel-Palestine from academic literature and leading independent civil society orgs. And I can tell you, its not the young pro-Palestine activists who've been radicalised into a dark place by virtue of inhabiting an information bubble. Its the political class.

The thing to understand is that there is a particular contingent within Labour who assess their own performance not based on the support they get from the right (which will always be, basically, none) but on how much they repulse the left. So they turn into Reform, without actually getting votes.
