I guess my only real problem with AI is that it doesn't work, uses all the water, makes the worst people who ever slime-trailed across this green earth richer, gives monsters cover to crater organizations, destroys lives in both obvious & subtle ways & also isn't even AI. Besides that, I'm for it.

A) you’re not even calling it it’s chosen (not birth) name and B) I used Twitter from when it was 6 months old until Nov 24and now my brain is much better for it. I never used it for ‘clout’. I used it to connect, not agitate. And I don’t care if I never see any of your opinions again quite frankly.

I don’t know, it seems clear enough to me. If the Equality Act doesn’t, in fact, guarantee the rights it was intended to, then you announce you are going to amend the Act to do so, rather than publishing convoluted guidance about defective legislation.

I don’t see your name @chriswardmp.bsky.social

Hey UK friends and residents, please consider signing this official petition to rejoin the EU (needs to hit 100k by June 8th when the petition closes in order to get a debate in Parliament) petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Dear Politicians. You don't make people's lives better by making a targeted minority's lives much more difficult.

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

'I think [Group X] are all icky so the law should ensure they don't come into the same public spaces as me' is horrific as it is & can end up getting applied to a LOT of other groups if this opens the door to that being legally OK.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have in your phone.

New research shows that more people abandoned Labour because they were too tough on immigration - and because of their support for Israel - than because they were too soft on immigration.

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

Happy Birthday from Casper

Taken on my walk to a costume fitting in London today…no subtext needed.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

Last few days to take advantage of this deal! #immersive #awardwinning #24hourexperience #weirdfiction #horror #poe #lovecraft #cosmichorror #folkhorror #wales #monmouth

The Sun’s accounts are out and I haven’t seen anyone report on them so… *Pre-tax loss of £31m *Revenue down from £296m to £273m (Sub now in the same ballpark as the Guardian) *Phone hacking costs (now into its third decade) of £36.6m *Big fall in audience but still claim to be UK’s number one brand

Warehouses on fire, Molotov thrown at Sam Altman’s house, a data center supporting politician’s home shot at — attacks on the ruling class have begun. Every attacker will now be deemed a terrorist, that’s inevitable. But what the ruling class doesn’t want you to know is they made this inevitable.

good morning

Every con has an expiry date, and Altman clearly sees OpenAI's approaching at high speed. Years of hypergrowth and worshipping venture have created a culture of wish-casting that rationalizes waste and empowers con artists at scale. It's a disgrace. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-openai/

Good piece. It’s a big shame that publisher Dez Skinn doesn’t get more credit for getting this work out there (and got zero royalties from the film)

remembered a good tweet

Wes Streeting is planning a Cass review for neurodivergency. We are the latest group targeted for public punishment in Labour's vain quest for rightwing support. Lives will be ruined and lives will be lost if they get their way. Please sign this petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Marc Zammit’s ‘Jitters’, a nerve-jangling new Brit chiller, comes to Digital on Monday, we check out all the details. Look out for our review soon. #Jitters #FilmSky #HorrorMovies

Just remembered last week I stayed in a hotel that must have been designed by AI. I was staying on the fifth floor which was, obviously, in the basement.

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

Wuh-oh. I might be wrong here, but this says to me they can't find buyers to take on loans from "software companies," which might as well just blatantly scream "AI companies." finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorga...

Thank God for the House of Lords, standing up for the people against the elected representatives of the people.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
