"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

YouTube/Google is currently ripping off advertisers harder than EVER before. Just looked at my watch history and since recent change, half shown are not videos I watched at all, and several, all ads, are ones I have never even seen at all. But you bet they are telling the advertisers I did.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Don't be evil? "Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officers..." www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

He'd still be a poor Christian, after all, I've rarely heard of a bigger wanker...

Farage: epic grifter

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The biggest issue with relying on people being loyal to the Constitution rather than to POTUS or the Commander in Chief personally is that through failure to impeach Trump in his first term, the system, the failure of Government, already showed Trump to be above the Constitution.

Throwing myself into researching Farage’s Russian links including Nathan Gill’s treachery, which the mainstream press is refusing to cover. @bylinetimes.bsky.social is though. The self proclaimed patriots are traitors. Obviously. This is a must read 👇🏼 bylinetimes.com/2025/10/04/t...

If AI can write your content, I'd seriously question whether it should be written in the first place. What value does it add?

With the 4th Amendment, and almost all of 'common law' making clear that Police officers (and similar) must clearly identify themselves, surely someone needs to challenge for a ruling in the Supreme Court that facemasks clearly go against the spirit of the law? Small wins add up.

Needs a wider audience. There needs to be a lot less dishonesty, and a whole lot less of 'letting it pass'. Tommy Robinson is backed by oligarchs that want to tear apart the UK to swoop in & profit. So is Farage. THIS shows who they are USING to get to that chaos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez1c...

For those who heard about the UK's Channel 4 TV station airing a documentary "Trump v The Truth" on "over 100 false claims" made by Trump, aired during during his State Visit, but didn't get to watch Ch4 directly, it seems it is now available on YouTube too - www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqY8...

Think it's time to rewatch and remind www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfyi...

Reform UK with yet another link to paid Putin mouthpieces other than 'Tommy Robinson' & Snide-Nige Farage? What a surprise this isn't. Comes right as Robinson's other major sponsor, Peter Thiel, had his name show up in Epstein documents too along with Farage sponsor Elon Musk...

"Special Ops: Lioness" was a damn good watch on Netflix. Much more thoughtful and nuanced than most series of the type. Zoe Saldaña was superb in a challenging, multi-faceted role, but the entire cast & crew did work they can rightly be proud of. Recommended.

What a weird way for Trump to tell everyone he's watching Trans Gangbang porn... Bet he'll append the words 'teen' to his search, eh?

The Right-Wing, both here in the UK and abroad, often pretend to be anti-establishment, pro-free-speech but the truth is they are always, always Authoritarians. They favour smaller, more powerful, more autocratic government. In answer, I present: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Hf...

Remembering Russ Jones today on what would have been his birthday. I don't really believe in an afterlife, but you did, so I hope you and @alanbleiweiss.bsky.social are chatting it up like we used to together. Between y'all, Jordan, Erik and Eric, you must be having a great SEO chat. Miss you all.

Britain's Far-Right MAGA wannabees are trying the American tactic of utterly ridiculous lies stated boldly. They are claiming, for example, that 3 MILLION people marched for Tony Robinson... 3 Million is roughly 5% of the entire population of not just England but the whole UK. Utter Nonsense.

Met a hot girl at a bar the other night. We ended up going back to her place. She looked me in the eye, leaned in and in a low, sultry voice said "I want you to do me like a whore!" Turned out she meant no kissing, she kicked me out the second it was over, and I had to give her $500...

It has to be hard to decide whether you are fleeing, like a coward, or setting up a rallying point for resistance in the only untouchable space... But the conclusion is the same: There is already no truly safe space in America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXR9...

Epstein: It will not go away, but it will never come out either. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCS_...

As we quickly approach day 1,300 of Putin's 10 day "Special Military Operation" I wonder if he's planning a parade to celebrate his glorious accomplishments? So far he has ruined his country financially and politically, shrunk its population by 4 million, and failed. Lots. Surely time for a party?!

Zelensky wore a suit this time.

Fun Strange Fact: In the 1980s, Ghislaine Maxwell was a prominent socialite in the London scene, and founded a women's club named The Kit-Cat Club (after an 18th Century political club that 'toasted beauties' and was political). Melania Trump claims to have met Donald at the NYC Kit Kat Klub. 1/3

“It’s a bit of an obscenity that I’m asked so much to speak on this subject because I happen to be Jewish and because I happened, as an infant, to have survived the Holocaust…Why aren’t we listening to the Palestinians?”

Watching the US Gestapo, ICE 'agents', seemingly the cowardly, bullying Hitler Youth wannabees, continually violently, viciously, and cruelly attacking unarmed women, the elderly, callously attacking parents right in front of small children, America must pledge never, ever, to forgive, or forget.

This is a superb primer on how LLMs work. Helps lift the veil from this technology and explains why it's not actually 'intelligent' in the way we perhaps hope it is.

With Google's AI Mode officially launched in the UK now seems a good time to remind you (and all those folks that ask you): HOW DO I TURN IT OFF!?!?! I built a free Chrome plugin for that: optimisey.com/optimisey-se... Shares appreciated. 5* reviews appreciated a smidgen more. 😊

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics. How big tech is force-feeding us AI:

A worthwhile, interesting read. With flaws, but still really important thinking matter. It isn't that nobody makes money from a bubble, it is that it is short-term and unsustainable. People do make fortunes - until the bubble bursts. Like selling shovels and land parcels in a gold rush.

Why are American TV news people so bad at their jobs? When Dirty Don says the Epstein files, and specifically the evidence of clients, are a hoax, the *obvious* question is "Wasn't it in your first term that Epstein and Maxwell were charged/tried/convicted using that very evidence?"

What's with the fascination over the Epstein List? We all know the list! It goes: 1. Donald Trump & His close friends. 2. People Trump introduced to Epstein (at Mar A Lago). 3. People introduced to Epstein by people Trump introduced to Epstein. End of list.

I have been back and forth over the span of 5 years about whether to publish this article. All opinions and experiences in this post are my own, or from people I personally know, backed up with recent reports and statistics.

I feel like @not-a-robot.com and @tentaclequing.bsky.social could end up fighting for these somehow, and rightly so. Quite gorgeous.

Trump's insistence that only Criminals are being sent to concentration camps is LITERALLY from the Nazi playbook. Naturally, only they can determine who are criminals, and for what 'crimes', like any kind of opposite views. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Next week the DOJ and the FBI conclude there's no evidence to suggest that Jeffrey Epstein ever existed.

‘Impartial news currently lacks any metric to express that one wrong newsworthy thing is several billion times worse than another.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social rejects the idea Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury comments were ‘more worthy of attention’ than the latest actions of the IDF.
