Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...
Defence of Labour asylum policy reveals backsliding on racism
Home secretary’s framing of failures is partly low politics, but also a result of ministers’ poor approach to race relations

I‘m seeing a disturbing trend on local Facebook groups of people replying with AI/LLM responses to requests for advice on really serious issues.

First, the OPs could have done that themselves.

Second, the stakes of the queries are very high.

Finally, the generic advice is sometimes very wrong.

An immigrant leaving the US because they’re one ICE goon away from being disappeared into a camp isn’t privileged.

An academic leaving the US because their research funding has been halted isn’t privileged.

Some guy from a blue state judging others for prioritising their own safety, is privileged.
I have said privately that while I don’t necessarily begrudge anybody who chooses to leave the US, but A. That is tremendously privileged and b. I do think we have to be very skeptical about giving them roles in the country once we defeat fascism simply because they didnt stand and fight
Sick story dude. I mean a Muslim democratic socialist just became mayor of NYC but I'm sure they were totally gonna make second rate Yale philosophy professors the number one target. Truly the most persecuted amongst us.

God I hate this loser shit.

Nick was musing recently on how early modern English speakers would spell the same word fifty different ways, mostly based on vibes. ‘How did they pick one spelling over the other?’

People on social media still do this, though. Maybe we should ask them?
