It's simple. Just take a photo of everyone who does want pizza but not anybody who doesn't want pizza. If the photographer wants pizza make sure they're in shot, or if that's too hard, ask someone who doesn't want pizza to stand in. If everyone wants pizza and the photographer can't fit in shot, ask

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

It can't be that the Free Speech Union are trying to repress free speech can it because that would make them enormous hypocrites and their entire existence invalid and pointless so it can't be that.
🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors
So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

These young people, who haven’t been convicted yet, could potentially be at home on bail electronically tagged.
Meanwhile a former MP accused of, and also not convicted yet, of child sex offences & child abduction is on conditional bail and still working.
Make it make sense for me, please?

I can’t stop thinking about a rejection letter a friend had from a publisher for his manuscript which said, “I think I’d have really liked this, if you were more famous.”
An actual person, who is paid to read books, said that.

Tell us - explicitly, with reference to existing law - why it's okay to visit a website that basically has a big "generate CSAM" button in its sidebar. Because sites have been shut down and people prosecuted for less. There's a reason this stuff is hidden behind euphemisms among offenders.

Love this, so glad there's a second series. Delighted to see @mralistairgreen.bsky.social in it too.
Found out thanks to Cookdandbombd that there's a new series 'just dropped' of Things You Should Have Done, with reportedly absolutely zero BBC promotion. I really enjoyed the first series, it had an inspired level of daft to it. Anyway, it's here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Things You Should Have Done
Get a job! Pay the bills! Clueless Chi is forced to fend for herself when her parents die. To get her inheritance, the ultimate stay-at-home daughter has to step it up.

I assumed it was already illegal to sell peat... but no.
More good news, the 'end peat sales' petition has happily flown past 6,000 people actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal... next goal is 10,000 @peatfree.bsky.social
