🧨 When I first saw the Together Against the Far Right march announced I was immediately cautious because there was no mention of trans discrimination being part of the issue in their promotional material.

“Together Against The Far Right” is following a variety of groups - but they’ve not actively engaged with ANY LGBT or trans, orgs 🤔
Maybe it’s because their Interim Chair, Kevin Courtney, has a history of aligning himself with anti-trans hate groups??

You get away with a lot less saying it to the customer, so if they were emboldened enough to say it to them, they were much more emboldened to say it to colleagues.

Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Chipping away at it to pander to the far-right risks undermining those core values.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

There’s a type of LLM advert which essentially depicts
1) a person using an LLM for a task it absolutely can perform
2) but a person who is qualified to double check its working wouldn’t need to.
Feels like this is the type of “AI misalignment” we should really worry about!
