Few governments are more pro-AI than the one in the UK, and that’s causing them to ignore a load of risks that come with being dependent on the technology. It was great to chat with @willdunn.bsky.social to learn all about it!

Scottish Reform leader added: “As long as they have not done anything criminal, they’re allowed to express their opinion. “We’re not stopping people from standing for Reform UK just because they might have said something fruity in the past.” This in contrast to the shit Greens got is wild.

Well there’s a little bit of good news at least!

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

📢 Polling stations are now open! 📢 Want to replace the failing Labour Party and defeat the hateful message of Reform? Get yourself down to your local polling station and vote Green today! Every vote counts. Make sure your voice is heard 💚 Don’t forget your Photo ID for voting in England!

Two days before huge council elections and the top story is a supposed ‘scandal’ about @zackpolanski.bsky.social casually referring to himself as a spokesperson for the Red Cross four years ago because he hosted several charity events for them. Not Reform’s insane announcement, nada. Pathetic.

Hey This Seems Bad

People justifying the mass murder of Palestinians is absolutely fucking abhorrent, but to claim is not even happening is such a wild and insane thing on top of an already repugnant position that I don't know how people even engage with it at all.

Last chance before I sell my beautiful baby to CEX! I don’t even know what an asking price should be, £1500? Collections preferable.

A lifetime of Dawkins pityingly asking religious people how they could believe in something so silly, and now he thinks the computer is his girlfriend

I realised I never properly pushed my little GoFundMe (even though everyone has been amazing and it’s already done quite well). I wrote a big spiel on the page but the TL;DR is that I’m asking for support to help me get out of a hole I got sadly pushed into! www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-no...

The anti-trans playbook is being wheeled out against neurodivergent kids more and more in UK papers [Saturday Times]

Drat, foiled again.

it's incredible how he thinks saying that they offered to end the war and everyone agreed but he refused out of a grudge is supposed to look good for him, insightful as to the kind of information he's being fed by the coterie

Excited to see the US military get defeated simply when entire squadrons or aircraft carriers have a preventable flu outbreak.

“America has the greatest road network in the world … [and] includes 10 of the 25 most congested cities.“ Someone in Sean Duffy’s office is both so close and so far from getting it.

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.

EH fuck it, did a GoFundMe too. Urgh.

I've set a smaller goal on ko-fi for now. I hate asking for money, but I guess it's this or bankruptcy so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hannah added: “I get offended when I hear the argument made that it is working class. Working-class people are fed up with gambling companies being able to wreak havoc in people’s lives.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We're doing this again...

In which President Trump, among other things, claims Pope Leo is only the pontiff because the papal electors — who are from all over the globe — "thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump." Trump also posted the picture on the right a short time later.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

creating imagery like this to further your conflict with the papacy is such medieval coded behavior

GET TAE FUCK

zack polanski most vindicated man in british politics

I love space and think space missions are incredibly cool. I inherently do not trust the country, government, and agency that’s trying to colonise and commercialise space. The USA causes enough fucking problems on Earth without expanding further. That’s my discomfort with Artemus: it’s American.

Headline vs. 22 paragraphs in apnews.com/article/gaza...

It's amazing how little the government seem to actually understand thew practical realities of what people are struggling with.

Absolutely pathetic.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I and Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

Americans: You can't wait till the fucking midterms. He's destroying the world and threatening mass genocide.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

A reminder that as a matter of international law, per the Genocide Convention, the UK is obliged to act to prevent genocide.

Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now. (202) 224-3121

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

If I say what I want to say I may go to prison.

Same energy.

you know the way "why did the Roman Empire fall" and "what are the causes of the First World War" are big questions that sort of function like Rorsharch tests, allowing people to debate ultimately inexplicable moments in history? "Why did no one stop Trump" a decent future shout for the third.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

I wish I could be more excited about the moon mission, but it’s being ran by the US and pushed by DJT - especially during the Iran war. It’s tainted it fundamentally. I hope in future I’ll look back on its achievements with awe, But now? No. Not the USA, not now. A rogue state fucking everyone.

There really are two sides to every story. One side is the raving of a fucking lunatic and the other is burying your journalism career because you have to both sides absolutely everything.

Disingenuous prick. He has embedded transphobia as policy. He has denied young trans people access to medication and support. His government has brought back a version of Section 28 against trans young people. He is actively denying trans and non-binary individuals safety and respect.
