The tactical vote to stop Reform in Makerfield on 18th June is: 🔴 Labour - Andy Burnham

A progressive majority can be invisible. If we stay divided, an extremist minority wins on a fraction of the vote. We’re joining @compassoffice.bsky.social to demand strategic cooperation. Let’s act like a majority. Sign the letter: forwarddemocracy.com/neighbourhood

“Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz,” says @billmckibben.bsky.social. “That makes it a very appealing alternative, especially now that it’s cheaper than burning coal and gas and oil.”

Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

rough first version of atmosphereconf VODs up on atmo.rsvp too, more updates coming soon atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere... really love what @stream.place is doing with that vod jam :)

What may be the most heartening part of #AtmosphereConf, besides the community, is that it's a *technical* conference at which people present on politics, authoritarianism, epistemic challenges (in the opening keynote!). Because, for technologists, *that's* the job.

Any #atmosphereconf folks interested in the PDS extension we've built for passwordless sign-up/login? Hit me up if you wanna talk

NEW PROJECT FROM ME for #AtmosphereConf remote viewers! This is a web app (and PWA for mobile) that lets you see all 3 streams in one place, with a realtime #AtmosphereConf feed (from @atmosphereconf.org) embedded. atmoco.pages.dev

Excited to join @atmosphereconf.org this week 💫 @sharfyae.bsky.social @adamspiers.org @holke.xyz will be there representing Hypercerts. Come say hi:) We'll present our work on Sat, 28th, at 5pm. Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones in the @atproto.com community.

Vibe-coded a couple of TUI apps for @dolthub.bsky.social from scratch yesterday. Before AI this would have taken weeks or even months. github.com/aspiers/lazy... and github.com/aspiers/madolt

Steve Yegge is a genius, but beads is an absolute bonfire of instability and unreliability. I think people tolerate it because on a good day it can help agents achieve near miraculous productivity, but there HAS to be a better way. github.com/steveyegge/b...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

⚠️ Breaking news! ⚠️ Our exclusive new poll carried out by Opinium for Forward Democracy and Byline Times shows that tactical voting can stop Reform in Gorton and Denton with the Green Party's Hannah Spencer the clear tactical choice. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/24/e...

🚨 Over 50 leading academics have sounded the alarm on the UK's voting system ⚠️ In an era of multi-party politics, First Past the Post risks “random and arbitrary” results like never before 🗳️ The experts' letter warn Ministers they must address this to stem growing instability and distrust

I built an improved OpenCode notification plugin which (as well as playing a sound) tells you exactly which prompt in which session just finished. Especially useful when running multiple agents in parallel. github.com/aspiers/ai-c...

steve-yegge.medium.com/the-future-o... from @steve-yegge.bsky.social is a great read. These quotes are so insightful. It's just like the beginning of the cloud revolution all over again, but this time with AI.

Seems like OpenCode has really been picking up momentum recently while Gemini CLI has been declining. ossinsight.io/analyze/anom...

Wrote my first AI agent skill - allows Claude Code / OpenCode to safely delete files without asking the user for permission github.com/aspiers/ai-c...

Super excited to be a small part of this hyper-talented team!

Don't run AI agents in YOLO mode, kids. Also, maybe don't put super sensitive stuff where the LLM can reach it. (I didn't, BTW.) Even Docker containers won't protect you from this 😟

Gemini 2.5 Pro is trying to repeatedly gaslight me into thinking that a Youtube video about Claude Sonnet 4.5 is actually a video about Super Mario Bros. Seems to be a bug with their "Temporary chat" feature where it randomly picks a different video each time you paste in the same link. #LLMs #AI

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?

"You're absolutely right to be disappointed." -- using Claude Code as a therapist for managing frustration / self-congratulatory ego stroking when all the LLMs fail and waste hours of your time and you realise you should have not bothered using them in the first place

Really happy to have just connected with the folks doing amazing work on www.openlabelsinitiative.org An integration with OLI would vastly improve UX across all dApps - watch this space!

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end. I raised this in Parliament last week 👇

1/8 Last week we wrapped up our hypercerts retreat in Berlin, full of inspiring ideas and progress 🙌 Huge thanks to @sharfyae.bsky.social @adamspiers.org @bitbeckers.bsky.social @daviddao.org @jamesfarrell.me @carlbarrdahl.bsky.social @juanbenet.bsky.social @holke.xyz Here are some highlights 👇

Open call for all AI agent developers: please stop relying so heavily on insecure bash tools and flawed wildcarding. We're in the era of prompt injection (thanks @simonwillison.net for covering this), and while this isn't quite the same as Simon's lethal trifecta, it's still dangerous.

After a small misunderstanding regarding model choice, Claude Code now summarises all of its work for me in haiku. "Code flows like lightning, Cache now whispers secrets fast, Performance sings joy"

Want to stop Reform? There are council by-elections every week, and it only takes a handful of people to swing them by getting the word out. stopReformUK.vote/elections It’s easier than you think, we are the majority. (Keeping Reform out of councils reduces their #GE2029 campaigning capacity too)

Climate change poses a threat to us all - and the evidence clearly shows the need for action. Yet today's Telegraph continues the effort to make this all about one man - & frame urgently-needed climate action as dangerous & extreme... With advertising from Coop, BMW, Trailfinders, Lotto & B&Q

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks. Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them. Read the f*ing room. More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.

Just wrote about the UK Apple encryption mess. This is a BIG deal. It doesn't just apply to the UK. It would be an absolute disaster for online privacy and security. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/07/u...

In 2019, if you were earning £100k/yr, what do you think your personal annual financial contribution to the EU was via your taxes?

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Based on the science in this thread, the US now has either a female or non-binary president - not sure which is correct but either is hilarious

This is George Monbiot's "X" leaving speech, and wow ❤️ @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
