OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

#ReformTheLords no heredetaries, no church, no appointments, PR as basis of seats, fixed terms, Geographical accountability, no one above state pension age, a proper 2nd chamber!

Notably blameshifting excuses given the level of professional guidance and media coverage about the hazards of Gen AI in legal work. More interesting: clear indicators that both Westlaw and Lexis AI legal research products, as already known, similarly “hallucinate”.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

Trump: "If you don't like what I'm saying you can leave the room. There goes your rank & there goes your future." <nervous laughter> Many of these US generals were no doubt aware of Hitler's notorious "Führereid", the oath of personal allegiance he made German generals swear in 1934..

Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for more private-sector usage of AI and fast tracking permits for more data centers after Big Tech companies donated huge amounts to his inauguration.

Here's the recalled items. Your packaging may be slightly different, more details in the image description.

Im not the sharpest tool in the toolbox... but "gender neutral" and in the same breath "male standard" kinda contradict each other no? Hegseth is an unqualified idiot.

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

They aren’t applauding because it’s against regulations

Is this because the 'birthday' military parade for Trump was so unbelievably cringeworthy? This is their retribution for being so shamed by the US effort at a military parade (vs China/Russia).

I know that the idea is 'flooding the zone' and is deliberate, but my heart rate hasn't actually gone down yet from his 'peace deal' for Gaza before he starts on something else that sends blood pressure through the roof! How do they manage to be this unrelentingly shocking? Day in, day out.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

NEW Gross misconduct inquiry launched into 11 police officers/staff who worked at Charing X police station, says polie watchdog, IOPC. One officer criminally investigated for perverting course of justice. Follows undercover BBC Panorama filming. But it's too late for common assault charges...

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

Did I miss the bit where the military have been 'worshipping' climate change?

The global conspiracy of MAGA has thrown away the mask. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Is he saying this so that a tonne of military personnel resign on the spot and saves them sacking a tonne of them? Is only explanation I can think of...

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

These idiots have no idea how important universities are to the modern British economy and the towns and cities in which they are based. On average, a British university returns £14 for every £1 of public investment. So yes, let's slaughter these golden geese and scorch our economy.

'He added: "But also close down half of universities and turn them into vocational colleges just to open the conversation."'

Is not "fun" spending mornings on picket line and so was delighted to come home to my BFF newest book! That's my afternoon sorted!!!

Many people think immigrants automagically get ILR after 5 years. Not so. The average student would already qualify only after ten years. 3 years on a student visa. 2 years on a post-study work visa. 5 years on a skilled worker visa. So they'd currently qualify in the 11th year of their residence.

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as… Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change. What little fixes'd you want?

I’m honoured that my book, MULTICULTURAL BRITAIN: A PEOPLE’S HISTORY has been shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize. Hugely grateful to the judges and the many people who have supported this work along the way @wolfsonhistory.bsky.social www.wolfsonhistoryprize.org.uk/2025-wolfson...

What if there is a tech device that will substantially decrease your risk of dementia? My new blog post. And yes, I have started using this device. (Hearing aids. Hearing loss is strongly associated with dementia risk. Hearing aids solve things.) www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ment...

If this doesn't (re)start a wave of global terrorism and wars, I'll be amazed. Everyone should be radicalized by this evil, abhorrent plan. Tony Blair has also helped make the target on Britain 100x bigger than was already for our collusion with genocide.

BCG has lots of other clients; maybe they could be made to understand that continued association with a company that's bringing their consulting expertise to ethnic cleansing will be interpreted as approval of that ethnic cleansing

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

Trump: “Many European leaders called, most saying: Is this true? Are you really doing peace in the Middle East? This is the most incredible thing.” And other things that didn’t happen.

That's great so I've added #AltText so that more folk can appreciate it.

I think by now, if I added up all the salary I've had stopped because I've been on strikes (feels almost non-stop since my PhD!) I could have employed my own research assistant! (yes - we're back on strike at Leicester!)

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

The 'volunteering' kills me (the rest is awful too of course). I don't volunteer, and nor do most of the people I know - because we're busy working 24/7 and caring/ doing everything else! How on earth are the expectations so much higher for people who normally have even higher hurdles? Shameful

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Its Monday morning and the President of the United States has committed another impeachable offense by threating to withhold funds from a major city in order to persuade voters not to vote for a certain candidate.

I mean, I am not travelling to the US until he's gone and sanity is restored, but I think Portland might be first on list of places to visit - it looks lovely!
