"The cost, they say (tech oligarchs) for #AI is EVERYTHING that EVERYONE has ever OWNED. All of our data, all of our intellectual property, all of our land, water, energy. Once you realize that's their framing, it doesn't sound like a good bargain at all." —Karen Hao, Empire of AI #EconSky

We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave. Neil and Chris xx

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This guy deserves a medal 👇🏽

If SUVs were a country, they would be the world’s fifth largest emitter of CO2. These oversized cars are choking our cities and fuelling the climate crisis. This #WorldCarFreeDay we imagine cities built for people.

Doctor Strange #169-174 cover dated June-November 1968.

This #TrumpUK visit is like those old war movies where the broke aristos and all the villagers have to pretend they still have money, land and staff to the oil rich parents of the American Officer who wants to marry their daughter.

This is excellent. In three minutes she explains how democracies become dictatorships. It's happened so many times, yet in each country, most people said, 'it can't happen here'

Incited by Farage & a significant swathe of the once ‘respectable’ right-wing media, we are already at the some men running wild point in this arc. And we are not controlling them early. We are giving air time & column inches to the people who egg them on & approve their crimes without any challenge

So, to be clear: trans women have been using these facilities without a problem and the membership have voted to have them there. But a group of zealots are now going to launch a legal challenge to force them to discriminate. www.thetimes.com/uk/law/artic...

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

The Silent Voice (1893), painted by British artist Gerald Moira (1867-1959). It's a haunting work about a voice in the lady's head, inspired by a poem written in 1833 and 1834 by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The poem is called "The Two Voices" and deals with depression and suicide. #art #painting #poem

someday we are all going to feel bad that it was the stupid that killed us all . . .

I was a child of the 1970s, a teenager of the 1980s and a young adult of the 90s and the rampant homophobia and racism I remember is utterly horrendous It was horrendous then—please don’t forget how terrible it was In the UK we had section 28 in 1988 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section...

Glad all over and Eagles Soar headline’s tomorrow I’m guessing. Brilliant.

This is a good interview and not because of the shout out (although thank you!). It accurately points out how anti-science tech has become. The thermodynamics point alone is worth the read. Because it’s become a folk theory among AI shills but their science is wrong!

"I'm as good as there is on macro risk management. All these folks in #AI are telling us we're creating something that's really dangerous & we're helpless to do anything about it. It's really disturbing."- Paul Tudor Jones (who probably just bought a bunker) #econsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrES...

In electing a serious and fearless progressive, the College of Cardinals looks like pretty much the only electorate in the world that hasn't had its brains boiled by far right propaganda & toxic social media. For a Catholic of my generation, this is an almost unbelievable development.

After demanding an election for the past two years, now a week away, piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre still hasn’t released a costed platform? The reason, of course, is he and Jenni Byrne don’t want the media, experts or voters any reasonable time to examine it and pick it apart. Vote wisely, 🇨🇦Canada
