“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

People on the 'far' Left want Healthcare, Housing and good wages for all. People on the Far Right want to deport or exterminate all the groups they don't like. Not the same.

They're all at it.

Naw, we're not supporting the scoffing at trans suffering, taking JKR's bigotry factory money, Kiera Knightly anymore.

We'd probably be actually surprised to learn just how much of the UK is run on paedophilia. If they cover it up they are also complicit in it. Probably more Royals than not, police, news editors, probably a lot more in the govt than anyone knows. Probably more religious leaders etc. Burn it down.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.” Mahatma Gandhi

How's that AI first, AI slop quantity over accuracy approach working out for a product that is supposed to teach human communication through languages? Genuinely hope Duolingo fails.

If you don't have clouds just now in Europe, go outside and look North for the Aurora Borealis.

How Streeting was anyone's pick to back for politics is so funny to me. Was it the same people who thought Liz Truss was a good idea? Bc my goodness it's all such a clown show.

I'm perfectly fine with locking every one of them up being Royal, CEO, richest man, President whatever.

Sex Matters coming swinging in to the BBC debate in the only way they can with the demand that trans people be expunged from all media content (unless they're being demonised). Because that's their aim across society as well as media. Hate groups will push hate, they're just very open about it.

Dear Physical Asia and Eurovision, Australia isn't in Asia or Europe. Can we please stop with pretending their continent is somehow roaming around the world? Geography isn't actually hard.

UK and Starmer have no problem being complicit in Gaza though.

Is search not working for anyone else?

New post from me, for UK folks only, on how you need to start preparing for Apple to switch off Advanced Data Protection and the end-to-end encryption of the data you store on it. Like I said, UK only. #SunlitUplands heatherburns.tech/2025/11/10/t...

Rich people are the source of most of our problems.

The greed world has got to go. The need to show growth every 3 months has got to go. The aim of governments trying to ruin economies on purpose to put people through pain on purpose to try and lay down some global order has got to go. AI = fash www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3h5...

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

The state of the media in the UK is so dismal. Just stupid arrogrant time wasting gotchas and for what? Just to make the ruling class show what soulless and out of touch a holes they are? We need that better world post haste bevause this aint it. Well done Polanski.

A historic win for equality in #Albania! Parliament has passed the Law “On Gender Equality”, keeping protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and withdrawn a proposal to recognise only two genders. A victory for unity, dignity and democracy. 🧵

Why is tourism in the US collapsing? Idk maybe it's the fascism and the fake fash being kidnappers, assaulters, robbers, on top of the racism, bigotry, religious extremists and gun violence?

Reform are just a grift.

Watching Physical Asia, once again Australia is insufferable to watch. Kinda just ignoring them and paying attention to the other teams. Let's go Korea! 🇰🇷

UK Energy profits, 2025 - £130bn a year, 1979 - £0 Water profits, 2025 - £6bn, 1979 - £0bn NHS profits, 2025 - £14bn, 1979 - £0bn Landlord profits, 2025 - £80bn, 1979 - £15bn All this money is stolen from you and from Public Services, this is why there is 'no money'.

These are the American extremist, abhorrents influencing the UK govt and policy. 👎

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

Pickled red onions and pickled jalepeños are staple foods for me. I eat a jar of each a week. They taste good in nearly everything. Currently making an aioli for my onion bajis.

Substack still sucks. Lots of articles I would like to read yet won't. We don't change the world funding the baddies and riding in their vehicles for profit along the way.

Say what you want, but these companies’ commitment to releasing half baked, insecure, or just plain dangerous products is something to behold.

Good on the Cuban representative!

Tick tock for the AI bubble. A very informative thread worth reading from the beginning.

This October, in a huge win for tenants, a new Scottish Housing Bill was passed in Holyrood. After almost ten years of pressure from Living Rent, we saw parliament approve the most progress for tenant’s rights in decades bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/10/31/a...

Abolish the monarchy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

Hurricane #Melissa strengthening again to almost a category 2 storm, as it leaves the Bahamas en route near to Bermuda..

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Watching #PhysicalAsia good show but Australia is definitely winning at being overconfident/obnoxious. Definitely the villains w the dirty play. Proud of the other countries. Turkey's female wrestler is hands down one of the strongest people on the show what a champ. www.netflix.com/gb/title/820...

A happy next GW2 expansion release day for all GW players (and future players bc this game is soo good 😀) Visions of Eternity is almost time to experience! Tapping fingers, doing dailies waiting for the drop today.

The Windy app for phones has a very good hurricane tracker. Been watching Hurricane Melissa on the windy app and it's predicted path to come to Ireland and the UK in about a week. Thinking most about Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas area though! Hope everyone can stay as safe as possible there

Get ready for a slew of dishonest social media ads from Labour claiming the Renters' Rights Bill as a triumph over demon landlords. Ads won't mention caving to vested interests, nor: • Eviction loopholes • Insufficient tenant protections • Court delays • Discrimination & affordability

Weird watching those who complained about the SNP/Greens not being Indy enough,are leaving ALBA party,decanting into a London based party that has NO policy regarding Scottish indy(in fact many leading the YP machinations in Scotland are pro-union).So far, transphobia seems to unite these oddities?

"Reform are on our side..." Are they fuck.

It's almost as if you can trace every problem we have back to the existence of the wealthy, and the reluctance of our government to tax them, isn't it.

anti-fascist today. tomorrow. always.

Didn’t know that 3 of the YP MPs voted no in the abortion amendment 🫠

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/th...

We need tech replacements for every single US brand of software and hardware.

Days since the last Your Party Incident of: bigotry, sexist, organisational clusterfuk, comms mistakes, PR whiplash, etc. - like what is wrong with them? Just join the Greens as nobody actually believes you all will deliver anything other than an unelectable hypocritical centrism that moves right.

Hey John Swinney, time to stop pandering to that evil family. Be more Janey Godly.
