Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Michael Morpurgo, Chris Packham, and Isabella Tree at the Oxford Literary Festival The three authors talked to Philip Lymbery, author and CEO of Compassion in World Farming on 21 March in the Sheldonian Theatre westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

If I might tack onto this: NO FUCKING HATE WATCHING, EITHER.

You know that thing you or someone you know likes? I've probably drawn a picture of it. Why not buy a shiny copy to cheer yourself or that person up when you or they look at it. Great idea. www.happytoast.co.uk

Keir Starmer urged to ban ‘cruel’ greyhound racing in England

If the code was written entirely by LLM, then Anthropic doesn’t own the copyright on this leaked source code.

This is largely by design. If we stop thinking about AI as simply technology and instead as part of a political and economic program, its chief function become easier to see: namely to erode interpersonal trust so that ultimately we give up on forms of agreement & negotiation arbitrated by people.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

More medically important antibiotics are used in farmed animals than humans. Not because animals need them more, but because the system does.

OK my 45 HMs for #THETENX5 have been submitted. About 20% are songs I'd seriously considered for my 50, 20% new discoveries during the picking. The rest aren't necessarily my favourites but (tactical/cynical) the ones I like most of those I reckoned stood a fair chance of qualifying. Thanks all!

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

Please repost & help me find a home (UK) for Johnny. Needed through absolutely no fault of his own - details in alt text. Scottish Borders but will travel. Many thanks.

This response is why I’m a proponent of a healthy amount of shame

From Bicester to Lebanon 💚 Oxfam colleague Rupert shares the journey of water tanks made in Oxfordshire and now en-route to Lebanon to help families access safe, clean drinking water. Donate today to help more families access clean, safe water: bit.ly/DONATE_ME_Appeal

Excited to see this new series of Star Trek

In September, a government-commissioned report warned: "AI's water demand could reach billions of cubic metres annually, posing a substantial threat to water security worldwide and, critically, within the UK." "Growth" that does such damage is utterly insane.

What is “the E-Bike Effect?” “Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.” Fewer car trips. Via @lloydalter.bsky.social

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

Bad news, it's somehow still being burnt.

“HIELANMAN'S UMBRELLA” should be a new law of journalism, which states that if AI generated photos are used in a news article, all reporting from that publication should be instantly distrusted.

This shows the sort of misleading framing that 404 Media, which prides itself on reporting accurately and tech-focused, can provide to third parties. In this case, users who don't know the difference between privacy and anonymity, and that you can't expect the latter when paying with a CREDIT CARD

*Interesting aesthetic assessment there -- when contemporary AI slop becomes nostalgic dead-media, as of course it will medium.com/ai-in-plain-...

Wonderful slip by Rachel Reeves in her statement to the Commons. The ‘changes we promised’ morphed into the ‘promises we changed’.

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

It's not a sustainable way of eating. Each year, 766 million tonnes of grain fit for human consumption are fed to livestock instead of people. It is time to recognise this for what it is: the largest form of food waste in the world.

#THETENX5 HM 5 (*5 points*) Work Bitch by Britney Spears (2013) Looks like I'm picking four 2013 songs beginning with W. Which is Weird but they're Wildly different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt8V...

#THETENX5 HM 4 (*5 points*) I Heard by Young Fathers (2013) I remember someone playing me this and straight away I said "well they're just a flash and the pan." I was wrong and it's not even funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcRK...

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

#THETENX5 HM 3 (*5 points*) Bomb Thrown by Czarface & MF DOOM (2018) Like lots of DOOM-related tracks, I love the instrumental version as well. Which, for such an amazing rapper, must say something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YiH...

This is why I was concerned, long ago, about the UK government wanting "anonymised" health data to be made available. I knew it was only time before the technology would catch up and make it possible to de-anon.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.

"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Trading secrets? Trading succulent state secrets?"

This is deeply concerning. These chemicals are additionally having impacts on aquatic insects due to dogs swimming in natural bodies of water. I stopped putting chemical tick control on my dogs due to this.

Gonna post it again... Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...
