I need people to understand why AI is being forced down our throats & so quickly:

1) They want us to have poor critical thinking skills & to be reliant on it b/c it makes us easier to control.

A smart populace will organize, ask questions, or revolt.

These are close to my feelings about the mix of people around us. I had a very nice conversation with a Sri Lankan in #Hull only this morning.

What dullards Jenrick and his kind are.

This is just brilliant. I'd like to think Benjamin Zephaniah would have loved it too.

The ‘British People’ were in fact about 37% of the electorate, and none of them at that time were the younger teenagers who now—nine years on—should have been enjoying all the freedoms of life in their wider continental neighbourhood.

Man alive, did the brexitists clip their wings, and good.

Ooh.

I don’t know about going. Still slamming though, evidently.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

The ability to discuss Brexit without fear is nothing less than the ability to discuss objective reality inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

You hissed my mystery lecture, Parker!

M’lady?

You hissed my mystery lecture and will be leaving London by the next town drain!

Are you all right, m’lady?

Oh, yes, thank you Parker. I’m always like this before my first cup of tea.

Yes m’lady.

This is a very important legal case, whereby the enforcement of equal human rights for trans ppl, ruled by the European Court of Human Rights, is actually carried out by the British govt. Having not done so, as legally required, brings the British state into disrepute, & undermines human rights.

ANNOUNCEMENT

That’s all I ask at present.
A clear, unapologetic and uncowed announcement of the direction of travel.

Every time Labour does this I simply cannot understand how they don't see that they are making Britain a stupider, crueller and poorer place, all on behalf of people who will never, ever vote for them.

Sure, planet Earth is eventually going to be consumed by the bloated, expanding Red Giant that is the Sun.

But come on.

It’s not the end of the world.

I analysed nothing. I stated a couple of verifiable facts.

Suz MacLeod @firmlyaground.bsky.social · 1d

The Referendum option read “… Leave the European Union”.

At 2300 UT on 31 January 2020 (more than 5 years and 8 months ago) the UK left the European Union.

There were many millions of witnesses to this event. It is a fait accompli.

Your ‘Brexit’ must be some kind of asymptote.

Goodness, Parker, that was a close call.

Yes ma’am.

Times Square, Parker. Quick as you can.

Yes ma’am.
