‘Elon Musk’s X not facing action from UK government’ If incitement to violence isn’t enough, what is? I mean, the gov knows how to act quickly to quash/expel/prohibit voices it thinks threaten national security. Clearly, public safety doesn’t matter, so what’s the point of them?

‘EU orders Meta to open WhatsApp to rival AI chatbots’ This is literally the wrong way up. wtf do we need a ‘chat bot’ inside a bloody messaging app for? It’s even more ridiculous that I can’t turn the ruddy thing off. If anything, EU should demand the removal of useless self-serving features.

Version of #AI tool 'too powerful for public' released to public 🚨 ‘Model release comes with risks’ says #Anthropic, the company which, in the absence of legislation, claims to ‘self regulate’. 🤯 Utterly irresponsible. 🤦🏻‍♂️ This crap has to be reined in, immediately. 😡

There are no ‘concerns’ so ‘legitimate’ that they justify organised violence against immigrants and their property.

Every politician, public figure and journalist who promotes the ‘legitimate concerns’ line is part of the problem. They are complicit in spreading hate in our communities and must be held to account.

Why is the Labour gov on X and not here? Simples - they’re more interested in the folk over there than over here. Feeling abandoned? Yup, absolutely. That’s Blue Labour mission complete. Now join.greenparty.org.uk

Frustratingly this adds to the too rapidly growing pile of missteps being made by a gov seemingly devoid of a compass. No, X is NOT too big to take on. And when one European gov starts the ball rolling, momentum will very likely soon follow.

No excuses - let’s get it done! 👇

When will Gov realise the infosphere IS the front line? When will Gov, as Sam puts it, ‘get out of a defensive crouch’ and defend our people and our democracy? It’s almost like they’re not trying.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Denounce the perpetrators as much as we like, but what would @greenparty.org.uk do instead? This isn’t going away. It’s clear that different policy and moral choices need to be made.

AI giants' race to raise funds They’ve decided the next step is massive investment in new computer power - data centres. Not a new paradigm. A bigger hammer, stealing data, water & electricity.

RSPB buys Bass Rock after 300 years in private hands Excellent.

Dear Putin. Please keep Yaxley-Lennon & Musk. You are welcome. The world.

Will Starmer respond to this incitement to disorder? 🤔 Tiny Tommy Turd should be strapped next to Space Turd on one of his rockets and fired at the sun. 🚀☀️ It really can’t come soon enough. ⏰

Starmer. Burnham. Streeting. 3 cheeks from the same arse. The most pointless by-election in modern history.

Could humanoid robots be heading for the battlefield? These over-enthusiastic Silicon Valley startups really need to stop, think & watch some Black Mirror. Nothing good comes from this. If you reduce the human cost of war you’ll just get more of it & more collateral death.

Spoiler: he spoiled it. Instead of the national anthem they should’ve played ‘Wrecking Ball’.

Badenoch strutting & clucking again. She must live such a miserable existence.

Starmer wants to gut the NHS and education budget to increase defence spending. It's outrageous and we need to show him just how unpopular this would be. Sign the petition to save our services! 38d.gs/defence-spen...

Here is foreign office minister Hamish Falconer in a bout of wishful thinking, wanting us to believe that Iran’s blockade of Hormuz is ‘illegal’ (but USA’s presumably not) when neither Iran nor USA are signatories to UNCLOS. Mmm. 🤔

Throwing more good money at duff projects, here we have the Lower Thames Crossing. It is a bad way to spend money on the wrong mode of transport, but here we are, with contractors salivating at the prospect of limitless budgets and forever tolls.

‘Starmer tells supporters he will fight any leadership contest’ And so he should. But I would want to see a proper choice, not a theatrical Blue Labour beauty parade leading to a least worst choice.

#10 ‘hits out after Vance post about Henry Nowak’. And so it should. 2 test q’s: - was it done in good faith? (clue, ‘righteous anger’ never is) - does it raise or lower temperature? Vance spoke in bad faith to raise temperature. #10 should say so, directly not obliquely.

Why on earth is any sane government still giving contracts to Capita? Didn’t they thoroughly and irrevocably burn their reputation, more than once already?

‘Righteous anger’ never is.

I see Satanyahu has upped the ante to keep his forever war going. And Trumplethinskin let him. Humanity is not their strong point. No small wonder Iran is pissed off.

On the positive side, the garden is looking greener. Happy wet Monday.

Went looking for Woodcock in the woods at dusk. Mrs GF is suspicious & thinks me weird. And if you’re wondering, I saw plenty.

Iranians have spent 75+ years suffering as a direct consequence of the sin of having oil under their sand & not wanting it taken without benefiting the Iranian people.

There is no Planet B 👇

Seen on side of van: “Leaders in cogenerational solutions”. Me neither. 🤷‍♂️

State enabled commoditisation of vulnerable children. Disgusting. Nauseating. But highly profitable. This is the deregulated, privatised society we’ve become.

The downward spiral of bigotry meme via Stop Brexit & Restore Hope

Kegbreath is a disgrace to his office and the memory of every soul who died defeating Nazism last time.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action!

Brexit a crime? Oh, fuck yes. Of epic proportions. And btw the whole Mazzucato interview, with Channel4 news is well worth the watch.

Put this in yer pipe and smoke it, Matt BadLoss.

Even now in these divisive times we have much more in common than divides us. ‘Fault lines’ are manufactured, weaponised and exploited. They need to be the space where we listen, collaborate and work hardest, from the common ground out, not across ever higher algorithmic barricades.

Clearly this. If something is threatening national security, don’t whinge about it, grow a pair and deal with it. 👇

This is an excellent interview for a wet Saturday afternoon. 👇 From author of the provoking ‘Mission Economy’, An even more provocative and extraordinary necessary ‘Common Good Economy’.

“AI development must have a brake pedal” Colour me shocked. The smartest thing one of these zillionaire tech goons has ever said.

‘Trump to meet AI leaders to discuss US investment in their companies’ “Too big to fail”….. Bubble, bubble …..

Oh do shut up Vance, you fake Christian shitweasel. Matthew 7:5.

Scared they be, my preciouses, very scared.

He has a point.

Lots of folk saying Gov should get off X. Yes and no. Yes bc ethics & values. No bc then SM becomes even more tribally voiced. Surely Gov shld try to communicate with all? I dunno… seems a bit nuanced to me. Maybe Gov being here would balance things up?

Data centre ban? 👏🏻 Now this needs to trend, and quickly. 💚✊

Imagine a future in which everyone enjoys high levels of wellbeing; where 90% of the world’s population doubles their income but works half the hours we work today.

“An equal and habitable world Is possible”? What are we waiting for?

One of Starmer’s better moments. There’s no clearer way to say ‘Farage, you are a cunt’ in parliamentary language.
