Refuge isn’t weakness. It’s an investment. And the returns are human, immeasurable, and generational. Britain once understood that. It can again. 8/8

Mamdani is going to implement My Sharona law. Everyone will have to create songs with undeniable rock beats.

And if our day-to-day politics was anything more than a cavalcade of increasingly grim betrayals of stakeholders and the interest of humanity in general by Labour desperately pursuing short-term electoral or economic gain while refusing to waiver on its fundamental electoral or economic programme.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

Incredible amount of China-panic over at the other place, apparently they might be trying to influence the UK away from democracy. Funnily enough not mentioned is the other superpower whose leaders have explicitly stated their intentions in that direction.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children. This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Sure, let’s collate every member of the public’s personal and private information into one giant database right before handing whole swathes of the state over to multinational corporations using an emergent technology with numerous security issues

Well funny they had Trump fly out of Stansted. Ending on an authentically shit British experience.

Americans are careening towards a 'years of lead' scenario, in some cases willingly, and none of them seem to understand just how horrific that will be.

“You're taking advantage of people who are still trying to recover.” 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, the residents of the Ninth Ward are still fighting for survival. The latest threat? A $5 billion canal project that could drown them all over again. Our collab with @capitalb.bsky.social:

They’re selling our country to US corporate tech bosses without our consent or even letting us see the deal - it’s FUCKED UP.

The UK Parliament had a full opportunity to recalibrate #dataprotection & #ePrivacy compliance for #AdTech in Data (Use and Access) Act & did so. In immediately eroding these rights, the ICO’s stance would seriously undermine both the rule of law and democratic processes. 3/3

The sheer lack of self awareness and integrity required for them to post that juxtaposed with multiple articles about the unethical and dangerous realities of the actions of these tech companies is staggering. @theguardian.com has been completely compromised by these scam artists.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

The EU is a market with 450 million people. There is vast public support for regulation of big tech and for companies to meet their responsibilities. Giving in after a decade of efforts in this space is undesirable and unnecessary. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/b...

Meta and its pasty robot boy are pouring billions of dollars into "AI" and the products are just hilariously unpopular and bad.

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@ionawonderbox.bsky.social another for your collection.

Starmer's Labour had one job to do – to reverse the evils of Thatcherism and restore the people's faith in parliamentary democracy – and with a thumping majority he was given the tools with which to do it. He has utterly failed and will never be forgiven for paving the way for a Farage government.

Nah boomers, you're just old and bitter now that's all.

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing.
