According to BBC Breakfast, Israel is "pushing" into Lebanon in an "incursion". Did Russia push further into Ukraine in a deep incursion, or did they invade? And as for Yvette Coopers statement. Its just words, while the UK govt continues supporting & arming Israel.

Well, we should make it a mainstream point that white people have often populated the land inhabited by POC, so now it’s leveling out.

Here we are, our biggest threats are AI proliferation, Russian aggressions and climate change. And politicians are debating if we have too many brown ppl. Feels like a satire.

Here are sitting Dutch MPs cheerfully meeting Milan Mazurek - a man who is so extraordinarily racist that that *the Trump administration* denied him a visa to enter the US last month, on the grounds that (in his own words!) “I am on a list of members of a Nazi party” bsky.app/profile/levi...

Lidewij de Vos isn’t well known outside 🇳🇱 but she’s not a marginal figure. Leader of a party with more than twice as many seats as Christian Union. And she is openly praising people who admired Hitler,denied Holocaust, said women can’t vote. And seriously want to deport all minorities. A dark moment

There’s not much new to say about this but I find it very sad that in multiple countries in Europe, including the Netherlands and the UK, “there are too many brown people and we should deport them” has become a fairly mainstream talking point for sitting MPs. Not something I expected to live to see

Talking about “remigration” implies you are merely repeating or correcting a minor error which already happened. Resuming what was before. A simple policy change which a new PM could implement at the press of a button. But opponents need to be clear about what it actually means:

'Remigration' is a Nazi euphemism for 'violent ethnic cleansing of immigrants, ethnic minorities and their descendants' and we must not let them get away with normalising these ideas, although this stuff is becoming more mainstream by the day.

📌 ICYMI — How to Stop Billionaires From Buying British Politics — Oliver Bullough Nigel Farage's £5 million handout from a crypto billionaire is a worrying sign of things to come. We must act now to prevent a complete oligarch takeover, argues Oliver Bullough

2026 marks the 90th anniversary of the Francoist uprising and the beginning of the Spanish civil war An estimated 120,000-150,000 people disappeared during Franco’s repression, their remains scattered across 2,567 mass graves The far right is dismantling the historical memory laws

Goes unnoticed? No, women notice. Women have complained and explained this to the media at large, but you don’t report it. What do you think incels are about? How about the wildly popular program The Handmaids Tale? What about the bro podcasters? Ever heard of Elon Musk? Trump the pussy grabber? JFC

Misogyny is an increasing factor in far-right attacks, but it often goes unnoticed.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

IMHO Its not simplicity and the lack of experts that got us into the mess, its the money being pumped into media, lobbying and politics that the issue. I think people understand that things ard sometimes not simple, but when the simple answer is constantly pushed as THE answer then you get the mess.

We get this kind of mess because too many can’t be bothered to inform themselves and are happy to be infantilised and hoodwinked by our politicians and media. We really need to grow up and start having hard but honest conversations about tax, public services, immigration and political accountability

“The moral of the tale on Brexit is simplicity, and a lack of experts, gets us into a big mess. And that is where we are.” Yes. But with Farage, Tories and rightwing media offering up yet more ruinous bullshit, blocking all routes back to sanity and prosperity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The final solution for AI in academia is a scenario where students are submitting AI-generated homework to be graded by AI-generated faculty using AI agents, all of which is being overseen by highly paid administrators who are extracting money from the students in exchange for a degree. The end.

administrators will look for any opportunities to cut costs to accommodate this new expense. They will remove faculty positions, and experiment with what many of them are already doing: asking students to pay to be "taught" by an AI-controlled professor "avatar" or "agent" that is trained... by us.

He had no satisfactory answer, but the answer is this: Academics who play along with automating various parts of our jobs are partaking in our own industry's destruction. When it comes time for these companies to begin charging real money for their devastatingly high compute costs, university (cont)

Perhaps most significantly, he did not address cost. My first question after his talk was what will happen if academics fully integrate AI into their curricula while the technology is still being subsidized by venture capital--who eventually will pay when the price arrives?

Gentle reminder that Nigel Farage backed Mandelson for US Ambassador. That’s not a thing you do lightly when you’re supposedly friends with the President.
