I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Lots of controversy about Hesgeth removing Pentagon funding from the Scouts, but what should be controversial is the fact that they were receiving it in the first place.
I'm pretty sure that there's no state funding for Scouts and Guides in Britain, where the movement originated.

There's an article on the radio at the moment about a "social network" exclusively for AI bots to talk to each other, and I really don't know how to react.

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

If Badenoch was smart, she'd put out a statement denying flatly that Braverman had defected. The BBC would then be honour-bound to spend the next 24 hours reporting that "competing narratives exist".

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Every person who goes into the streets to observe or respond to ICE knows, in some part of their brain, there’s a likelihood that they’ll be killed by masked federal paramilitaries. And yet they do it anyway. But it doesn’t make it any less shocking or heartrending when a good neighbor is martyred.

I am once again begging if you insist on having Farage on your show, don't ask him a single thing about Trump/Ukraine/etc. None of his business.
Ask him about Tendring Council's revised housing targets or proposed brown-site rezoning in Clacton. Make up an area of Clacton & see if he even notices.
