Predictably, Matt Goodwin's GB News debate was a disaster. He opens with defending the idea "everyone" uses AI tools for research now, and it's entirely legitimate. So the book is undeniably a product of using LLMs on some level. 1/

Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25

New from Free Movement: Will the UK really ban dual nationals who don’t have a British passport? | Alexander Finch

But, but where is the Tech bros magic money machine? Don't tell us that they are going to have to start acting like normal companies?

Guess who was the minister who signed off on the ETA impact assessment without considering dual nationals at all? Of course it was! assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6489e7...

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

The limit on free speech... 3 minutes.

I know few people worry about the "first world problem" of dual citizens impacted by the UK's ETA but I'm kind of pissed at the whole way this has been handled. So let's start by exploring the why. What is the function of the ETA? Well the handy slogan "no permission no travel" tells you 1/

There were never any "agreements", there were only memos that will disappear never to see the light of day again. No one was investing anything, it was all just to allow Donny to say big number.

Oh I might need to revive that blog page I let die. What's the most ridiculous claim I can get away with that will be hard to debunk?

Wow.

The whole point is if they knew who has dual nationality they would just give a waiver. They can't, messed up the legislation to allow a waiver and then did this. They can't tell, section 40 fines can't be applied to carriers for UK citizens and they can't be denied entry. It's BS. Get an ETA.

They want the chaos to boost the pro-Russia right wing popularists. Remember Farage appointed a Russian agent to head up Reform in Wales. Join the dots.

Prescott edited Trump's speech when complaining that the BBC had edited Trump's speech. And did the Telegraph identify that?

AND HE WAS LIKE, BUT NOT MY FACE, RIGHT? AND I WAS LIKE WELL IT'S A FACE, SO

Anyone thinking that Trump's peace will hold... "There’s no phase two" Watch Bibi try to collapse the talks like a wet paper bag as soon as he has the hostages. So will Trump's desire for a shiny Nobel prize make him stand up? Or will he get sulky that he didn't get it this year?

Say yes more. Don't look for excuses not to do new things. Always look for the joy - it's there in most things - even when it's "thank fuck that's finished". Stay friends with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone more than you can ever imagine.

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Is this the Wannsee conference? The calm way that the right calls for the mass elimination of "undesirables" is violence writ large. And there will be zero reaction, he'll have "misspoke".
