This is going around. According to Snopes, the second sentence is a verbatim quote. The other two are not, but are fair paraphrases of things he said around that time.

The Oatmeal says what I think about GenAI Art, only better and with pictures. As a writer, I feel the same way about the slop that passes for AI-generated writing. Why would you care to read something nobody cared to write? theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Who looks out their window and goes, "yep, that's what the world outside looks like"? Stephen Miller is pure, distilled evil.

There are 2,500+ turbines in the UK: they should be helping bring energy bills down. Instead, Brits have paid £1,000,000,000 this year switching turbines off while overpaying gas plants to switch on 👉 octo.ps/3KiVhcu

The American presidency is literally a protection racket now. At least Nixon tried to keep his Enemies List secret. Is nobody in the media or the Democratic party going to say this out loud?

Note that you can "report" that something "has been described as" if even one person has done so. But should you? Note also the weaselly use of passive voice. Who exactly has described it this way? What are their credentials for making that judgement?

If anybody is at all interested in understanding how we got where we are with GenAI, it's because somebody looked at an incredibly complex problem and came up with an answer that was clear, simple, and wrong. All you needed was the right algorithm. arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762

Should any Labour politician stand up and tell the truth: Immigration is not the main problem. Asylum seekers on small boats is less than 5%of total. Immigration is higher because of brexit. More are needed due to a declining birth rate, and a labour shortage. Imagine the apoplectic media response.

If nothing else #RejoinEU might be enough to save Labour.

New paper on the state of democracy today.

Happening now in war ravaged Portland: the city's Parks and Recreation Department (the most subversive of all government entities, is giving away trees.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

AND here’s the war zone

Nigel Farage wants to unban Handguns, which were banned after the Dunblane School Shooting. How do you feel about that, do you think we need School Shootings? Do they need bringing back?

Curious …

I've said it before and it bears repeating. Keir Starmer looks like the villain of a minor Dickens novel, and the title is Low Expectations. It's not a good look for a supposedly-Labour prime minister.

Opening this weekend: Birds, Bugs, Botanicals of the Bluecoat: A Blue Room Exhibition 🕊️🌿🐝 Artists from Blue Room present a new collection of work inspired by the biodiversity of our garden. Open Sat 20 Sep - Sun 12 Oct. Free entry.

This whole thing is so unimaginably gross. Makes me sick to my stomach. inews.co.uk/opinion/king...

Arrested for embarrassing a wee girl shagger? 🤢🤮

Starmer is the only one sitting in the HOC that still thinks he’s on the right course !! There no genie waiting to come out of his bottle I’m afraid . Playing the Tory gaming blaming the last government for all the country’s ailments . It’s going to be a long long 4years as the uk sinks !!

I'm speaking from experience. I am not kidding when I tell you that I have letters from J Edgar Hoover authorizing the FBI to dig through my my grandparents trash. It ruined their life. Ruined my mom's childhood. Do you want that for yourself? Or do you want to live to protest another day?

Nigel Farage is now threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding £885,000 down the sofa to buy a house that definately isn't for him. So don't talk about it, you wouldn't want to make Nigel Farage mad, would you?

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Why? Hordes of Tommy Robinson fans are allowed to rampage through London? but a harmless projector is now a crime? IS after speech alive and well in the UK? Or is this now a police state, even BEFORE Farage moves into No10? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can we talk about the thought that America fetishizes freedom of hate speech and guns, and that is a toxic cocktail? Other Western democracies recognize that (a) gun laws reduce gun deaths; and (b) hate speech does not have to rise to the level of an immediate threat to be harmful. 1/568

I'll just leave this here without further comment, in case the shoe fits any feet that happen to be around.

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." Charlie Kirk, CEO Turning Point, died today from gun violence #turningpoint #Kirk #gunviolence #uspol

America is so fucked up. What will it take to get people past their irrational attachment to guns?
