Repudiating generative AI wherever possible has now become a moral duty.

It is an act of rebellion, an environmental stance, political resistance against technofascism, and our strongest weapon against the Silicon Valley billionaire class.

Burst the bubble.

Gaza is now single deadliest conflict for journalists in history.

This is not only an attempt to extinguish a whole people, it is also an attempt to extinguish the story of their genocide.

“One day, everyone will have always been against this.” - Egyptian-Canadian writer, Omar El Akkad.

#Gaza
The city of Beit Hanoun in the north east edge of Gaza is seen from above. It is completely destroyed, not a single building is standing. It is all rubble, as though the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. The city had a population of 52,000

Eighty students from Gaza, who have overcome unbelievable obstacles to get a place at UK universities, unable to take them up due to the UK Home Office disgracefully putting even more obstacles in their place.
