I like walking downhill. It seems to be where everything else is going these days.

Yes, you can put the genie back in the bottle. It’s called regulation. And “it’s there” is a very weak argument for not scrapping self-driving cars. #r4today

THE STRAIT OF WARMOOZE IS NOW CLOSED.

DON’T BE GOOGLE

After 8 whole years…

How about NO, GOOGLE!

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Norway is banning generative AI for schoolchildren under 13 starting in September.

Had a call two nights ago if I could fill in for a stills photographer on set of a new German/Greek series. Nice to see some familiar crew faces and meet some new actors. #onsetphotography

"The court’s order—requiring a temporary injunction barring Google from spreading the false claims in any further AI Overviews—may have global implications, as the court seems to be the first to hold an AI firm liable for AI speech."

this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

The US used Grok to fire missiles on Iran. Tell that to the parents of the schoolchildren killed in Minab. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Very telling how all the ads on YouTube today are either for creating AI influencers (I will NOT call them characters) or have obviously been made by AI. Google is pushing slop, and it’s high time to stop using YT and Google / Alphabet services completely if you value actual human creators.

A platform with great shows and no ads. It’s not that difficult.

We could all see this coming. Outsource security to AI, give everyone access to that AI, and see the security crumble faster than you can eat an apple crumble. Glad I deleted my meta accounts months ago.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

Widow’s Bay is the best show on TV right now. A horror/comedy that does both genres extremely well. Its Parks & Rec + Stephen King and I cannot recommend it enough.

The verdict stands and is upheld: Meta and YouTube are harmfully addictive by design.

This transition will affect roughly 2.5 million civil servants as part of a 2026 strategy to achieve "digital sovereignty." France already has a successful precedent; the national police force has operated 100,000 computers on Linux since 2008, proving that such a massive shift is feasible.

Thank you @dcrainmaker.com for this comparison and showing that DJI doesn’t want us to see comparisons, and why you’re one of the few reviewers still worth watching!

Finally, the UK has a chance to take affirmative action for the good of its children. Let the dismantling of addictive and dangerous social media begin. Crackdown on tech platforms will go ahead despite US intervention, says No 10 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If you're Netflix you don't have to do anything you just have to sit back and watch as this debt-riddled mess collapses like the last four time Warner Brothers has been involved in a merger, then buy up the scraps for half or less than your original 2025 asking price

How’s that deal around the corner going?

Personally I think it’s good that we will still have an AI-free haven here. It definitely doesn’t look good that Apple wasn’t honest about it. www.macrumors.com/2026/06/09/e...

This new Kill Photography feature brought to you by AI built on Google gemini. Thanks, Apple! appleinsider.com/articles/26/...

Slop-scrolling is the new cringe.

An AI-generated slogan was used for the marketing campaign. But human management didn’t even read it? How a Starbucks marketing stunt spiralled into mass boycotts in South Korea www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Alyko, Naxos. The irony that some poor patriot tried to chip away USA is not lost on me.

Another creative and important voice gone too soon. Marjane Satrapi, creator of Persepolis and acclaimed French-Iranian artist, dies aged 56 www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Glad I deleted my IG last week. With its over-reliance on/pushing of AI we could all see this kind of thing coming. “Hackers trick Meta AI support bot to infiltrate Obama White House Instagram account” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Actually that’s not even the worst but the worst is that socialmedia is now first hand a way for AI companies to harvest information and boost their business on your behalf and your knowledge

danah boyd recently argued that social media (as we knew it) is mostly dead; what we have now is parasocial media: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... I agree. Networked social media is disappearing, replaced by a new logic/structure of content creator, creator-centered community, & algorithm.

Most people struggling to even exist and these billionaires blowing up millions for what?

This is what we have to deal with. CEOs with AI psychosis.

Thank you @shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social for saying what we were all thinking about Tony Blair. Love to all Community Garden Radio listeners.

Hello world. I just deleted my last instagram account. It feels really good. Have a great day!

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

We all wish Harry Styles would break up with this Ticketmonster / Evil Nation. Great concerts should always remain affordable and stress-free.
