Can't share the whole thing but #AI is indeed making us stupid. My English-as a-foreign-language teacher son has to stop students from using #ChatGPT and #Gemini from translating text they should be trying to comprehend. From the #Observer

Robert Jenrick claims Reform is for workers Reform voted against the Employment Rights Bill because they back zero-hours contracts & fire/rehire If you really were the party of workers you'd be asking why someone working 40hrs/wk cant afford to pay their bills in the 1st place

I think the EU is a bit remiss here by not working out some special arrangement for UK citizens, as they are probably the most numerous travellers into the Schengen area. It was also years late +the ETIAS scheme should have come first and helped avoid the current mess. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

ADL put out a new report on record high antisemitism in America, and documents more than 40K cases. Guess how may they document by Muslims and leftists? 3 Not 3%. Three total. Antisemitism is real, and it’s almost entirely coming from Christian nationalists. www.qasimrashid.com/p/who-is-ign...

This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

The climate crisis is now a public health emergency, according to WHO-backed experts. The science is clear. The consequences are impossible to ignore. Action cannot wait any longer.

I am desperately hoping (but secretly want this resolved on favour of transrights) that the #WesStreeting and #AndyBurnham competition does not throw attention on that tiny #transminority that will become the target, again, of much vitriol.

The endless failure to deal with raise the flag idiots in a nutshell.

Good to see Tim Bearder taking the reigns. I know he is keen on Active Travel, we met when he came to Goring last year to help our campaign for a Greenway between Goring and Wallingford. Here he is taking photos of @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social and @maggieflpv.bsky.social

Admitting they can afford the tax, but they simply don't want to pay These rich dickheads have forgotten that taxing their wealth is the moderate option

Contrary to news reports #Wigan is still a Labour hold as only a portion of council seats were up for election. Obvs it is bad news that all contested seats went Reform....

This is so great to watch! 😅 Emmanuel Macron sings a French chanson accompanied on the drums by the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan! This is what's possible at international summits when there are no stupid MAGA clowns around to drive people to despair. 🇫🇷 🇦🇲 🕊

Concentration camps, undue influence, I do hope the UK population remembers that WW2 was fought to stop this.

This needs circulating...

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

Love this author for his quirky stories, “The Villager” contains the famous village online notice board exchange.

They’re changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Schrödinger…seems to be open and closed at the same time…

We had a meeting with landowners re #Goring #Wallingford #greenway Fingers crossed! @robintucker1.bsky.social @emilykerr36.bsky.social @maggieflpv.bsky.social

Maybe the reason why there are so many potholes isn't because the council aren't doing their job, but because so many of you selfish pricks are driving round in 3 ton SUVs

While the govt seeks to stop rights to jury trials, 500 arrested at Palestine Action protest despite initial court ruling its ban is unlawful. Reminder: @CIVICUSMonitor rated the UK as ‘obstructed’ on civic freedoms, same as Orban’s Hungary. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As we approach 100k signatures, the anniversary of the SC ruling, and 12 months of our campaign, engagement has been hugely positive. We’ve purposefully curated our feed to shed love and light on the trans+ community, while highlighting true causes of harm. Please keep sharing notinourname.org.uk

🚨🚨Whilst unsurprising still quite a scoop by @politico.eu revealing that #Hungary and #Russia struck 12-point cooperation agreement for closer ties in light of the forthcoming general election. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/hung...

He started a war so he can declare a ceasefire after threatening extermination of a whole civilization. Just handing him the Nobel peace prize without all that seems like not a bad idea .... #Trump #Nobelpeaceprize #ceasefire #Iran

Und beschwert sich über EU Einfluss auf die kommende Wahl.

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

I know people don't like to think of bad things happening, but anyone could become chronically ill or disabled at any time, through no fault of their own, no matter how healthy they are It shouldn't only be disabled people having to fight the government all the time, it's up to all of us

Okay paints are put away and no gardening to do today so back to politics I go. Things may have gotten crazy in LA No Kings but some of these shots are epic. A thread of No Kings everywhere on Saturday: / <—-this means it’s a thread, people A 🧵

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation. But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times. Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.” Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

The IOC testing policy ban isn't really a trans ban, it won't stop anyone (too few trans athletes at that level) but it will cause distress and discrimination to a group that will be inadvertently caught up in this.

As a Gen X, and in some ways a Millenial, the answer to dealing with AI slop is not to read things that are too long. TL:DR is your guide here. In Gen X speak that means, can't be arsed.

Oxfordshire’s councils are set to change – and the Government consultation closes soon. Leader of South Oxfordshire District Council, Maggie Filipova-Rivers, writes for the Clarion on why she believes two councils is the perfect solution for Oxfordshire - not too big and not too small.

#AngelaRayner gets it.

Pretty sure Charlie Mullins has a team of professionals who can help unblock the Strait of Hormuz....

New reports CONFIRM the US was responsible for killing an entire girls' school in Iran. But that didn't stop Trump’s biggest donor & co-founder of ChatGPT, signing a deal giving AI to the US military for mass surveillance + killing. Be a shame if everyone found out and deleted their account x

Just looked up "Enshittification" as I am suffering from that badly. Take note DPD and GWR. If you feel I am defaming or libelling you, go for it. Your apps are shit.

This UK govt needs to ditch #Palantir double quick, esp as linked with unsavoury elements of the blue labour wing and #mandelson.

It is #men and #Egos doing this bombing, exploding, breaking & smashing everything, makes them feel macho. Cities, houses, fields, streets, schools, all blown up, destroyed. Lifeless. Never has this been so obvious. #Iran #USA #Trump @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices. It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.
