Absolute destruction. youtube.com/watch?v=ZoO9...

Holy shit, We've already reached the ‘full confidence’ stage with Morgan McSweeney. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

I know this is petty, but one aspect of the Epstein files which I can't get over is how fucking illiterate these princes of the world are. All these emails from the richest and most powerful people in the world, and none of them can construct a valid sentence.

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...

What a farce.

Oh oh.

Britain’s @royalsociety.org still happy with one of its fellows running a company that enables creation and distribution of non-consensual sexualised images of women & children. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Elon Musk Files For Custody Of All U.S. Children

Don’t do it, France!

A return of Christy Moore posting

It's stuff like this which makes me regret my career in computing and AI. I'm not joking here. So much of the stuff we've built is pointless and some of it is vile.

Even the US embassy in Venezuela seems to have been caught off guard by this.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

BBC staff are not allowed to report that someone called Trump the most openly corrupt president in American history.

Nigel Farage urged to root himself out.

Oh my god. Cut to the bone here.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

The USS Gerald Ford is on its way to go hunt civilian boats in the Caribbean. This one ship probably has more aircraft and firepower than most countries' entire air-forces Those civilians are fucked.

Such a relief that Russia lost in Caerphilly.

Musk says there's a limit to AI's ability to improve human productivity, but there's no limit to its ability to improve productivity when it is embodied... "that's why I call it the infinite money glitch" folks

The government is cooked, the economy even more cooked-er, but I just found a 4 part series on @tg4.bsky.social about capailliní (ponies) so things aren't all bad.

Looks like Cancel Culture is... out of control. (God this is an old meme.)

I'd love to see details on what kind of jobs this is expected to generate, as data centres don't need that many employees and not high-level ones. More data-centres in the UK could just mean an increased ability for US companies to sell us their product, with all the cash going out of the UK.

No @theguardian.com, he did not link the vaccine to cancer, her *claimed* there is a link.

This is absolutely insane.

The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says. There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.

Waiting to see if the government will treat this as seriously as they did some people throwing paint at some planes.

At some point the government are going to buy those magic beans, and it won't just cost £2 billion - they'll give away all our personal data as well.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: The Best In-Detentions

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

Wow! The actual, real Elon Musk now follows little old me! Dare I dream that maybe he might allow me in on some once-in-a-lifetime crypto deal?

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Thanks to "new evidence" which no one is allowed see, the Trump admin has confirmed that Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed. This could potentially be awkward next time they want to say Iran is weeks away from having a bomb, but it's not like anyone will call them out on it.

Watching news on @tg4.bsky.social is kind of wild. They lead with local objections to a mussel farm in Kinsale, then spend a long time talking about planning permissions in Galway, then after all that they just casually say "oh yeah btw, Israel did a bombing on Iran because of nukes or whatever".

I know this looks like a big change, but my money is that Musk is just on a come-down right now. As soon as he gets his re-up, it's going to be game on again. Don't worry Trump and all the others will forgive him, having hundreds of billions of $$$ buys a lot of forgiveness.

Today, as part of the @techpolicypress.bsky.social and @datasociety.bsky.social "Ideologies of Control: A Series on Tech Power and Democratic Crisis" series, @emilymbender.bsky.social and I write about the myth of AGI. www.techpolicy.press/the-myth-of-...
