Most days, the UK's top newspapers have a wide range of photos gracing their front pages. But on Friday, every image topping the British front pages was identical.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Memories of Valentines past. Manchester, overnight 14th and 15th February 2016.

This notice, sent on behalf of Peter Mandelson to British media, has been published by The National at www.thenational.scot/news/2583451... It is my view that it is in the public interest for it to be widely read.

🔴 BREAKING: Labour Together paid controversial PR firm £30k to investigate journalists who were digging into how its undeclared funding Reporters from Sunday Times, Guardian and other outlets targetted *And* Morgan McSweeney knew about it Full story: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.

Come see me at "Under attack: 15 Years spent photographing Britain", where I'll be discussing what it is to be a photojournalist: www.manlitphil.ac.uk/events/under...

The signboard.

Much to enjoy in this BWV frame grab. I think it'll work well in a "POV" section for an upcoming talk. The line down the centre is really pronounced in this wider view. Pretty much the key moment.

Writing this I had to look through Grok's mentions. Earlier I counted around 8 requests PER MINUTE featuring "bikini" and "her". Thousands of women and girls stripped each day. I found users stripping dozens of women per hour, from female celebrities to gym selfies. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

This New Year I am adoring Grayson Perry's take on A Rake's Progress, currently at The Box in Plymouth.

Welcome to the "disabled people shouldn't have nice things" era of heartless, irrational appeasement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

...it was just a happy coincidence.

Cost of living crisis hits the FT as @pickardje.bsky.social forced to take 2nd job with Getty Images

"google images" is not an acceptable credit for anything.

It's at times like this that I find comfort in the words of Millicent Martin m.youtube.com/watch?v=y5BU...

Sumo stars goofing about at tourist locations seems a more fun way to celebrate England than any number of flags.

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.

"Taking a break from x to prioritise my mental health" is artful gaslighting.

Two days to go and a few tickets remaining - fabulous photography and Aber's a gorgeous place to be: www.theeyefestival.com

I'll be talking about photographs like these at the Eye International Photography Festival in Aberystwyth at 10am on Sunday 19th October. It's happening in a cinema with a fab, big screen, in a stunning part of the world - tickets at www.theeyefestival.com/2024-ticket-... - come and say hello!

ABC has been barred from attending Trump’s press conference near London this week after a clash between the Australian broadcaster’s Americas editor, John Lyons, and the president in Washington DC over his business dealings

What a country.

Not disregarding Sunder's point re numbers, but I'd like to express appreciation for James Glossop's well made photograph, that leads the story @jamesglossop.bsky.social

Run. Run far, run fast.

Social media platforms should be regulated as other publishers who distribute people's work.

Grok is now creating AI video deepfakes of celebrities such as Taylor Swift that include nonconsensual nude depictions. Worse, the user doesn't even have to specifically ask for it, they can just click the "spicy" option and Grok will simply produce videos with nudity. Video from @theverge.com.

Bigotry in a clinical setting can be fatal if you have the wrong colour skin. I've met victims' families. See Furness General, Nottingham etc.

How lazy, desperate & self-absorbed do you need to be to nick a photograph of a man crying at his cousin's funeral for your Facebook page's crappy, clout-chasing pub meme? Here's the image source: www.michaelwyke.com/index/I0000p...

What a fabulous tribute to Britain's music, social and documentary cultures. Art with value, created by real people doing real things, enjoyed by the world, does more for Britain's wealth and wellbeing than all the thieving AI & social media tax dodgers we seem so desperate to enable 🪣🎩+🇮🇹+📸+🐝

I am ready to help, I was born to do this job.

Unbound stole our money. Unbound stole our money. Unbound stole our money.

Last week I broke my wrist and my spine falling from my stepladder. One of the ladder's legs just buckled inwards and I fell to the ground /1

Postman doesn't like being called "lovely". "I'm a straight man, call me postie".

The British automotive industry contributes £22bn to the UK economy. The creative industries contribute £124bn. Fucksake. Stop AI copyright theft.

Good to see Mariah Carey getting that asbestos sorted.

This from @bristolpost.co.uk - implying a living person is dead for clicks - Reaches a new low.

Image celebrity clickbaiting someone’s death. Take a good look at yourselves.
