"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I

“This is an orchestrated throttling of fact-checked, editorial standard news and accountability journalism at the hands of two tech bros who inherited digital public squares and turned them into hostile playgrounds for outrage, conspiracy, and disinformation” www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-brolig...

White Men have been abandoned is a PsyOp by the Billionaire Media to place the blame on migrants and foreigners. When it is the billionaires who are destroying everything.

THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause. (More pics to come.) www.32auctions.com/organization...

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22 (1/1)

Nice discussion on the joys of music education in the 3rd hour of James O’Briens show yesterday (24th March).

@williamcrawley.bsky.social good conversation on Garron today, glad I listened. He freely expressed his view and others have freely disagreed. If you have a feeling that something is wrong, get your ducks in order before you present them to a large audience. Facts don't care about feelings. 🤷‍♂️

The Curriculum & Assessment Review Interim Report is out: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Any school based mobile phone bans are welcome but won’t solve the problem of the toxic manosphere alone. Better mental health service engagement (money in short!) and regulation with teeth over SM content are drastically required too as well as other socio economic measures that will also cost £

“In 2011, Mel Gibson pleaded guilty to battering his former romantic partner, who reported he hit her while holding their baby & broke her teeth. Shortly after I informed the deputy attorney general’s staff that I could not recommend rearming this particular bully, I received my termination notice.”

i'm still thinking about this piece by @janus.bsky.social from last month, and despite the title, it makes me feel a lot better about Things; maybe it'll do the same for you www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Spot on.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

I didn’t know the implications AI has for creative industries and LP investment in UK data centres. Must have left my head behind somewhere. Will be looking into it more. They’re having a consultation on it. Good template for MP letter here if you’re so inclined: www.creativerightsinai.co.uk

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Never mind “unbelievable”, her conduct was “unlawful”. Again.
