Girl I've been seeing made a an interesting point, we keep seeing stories about kids being brainwashed by Ai and killing themselves but we dont see any stories of Ai encouraging violence on the powerful for all the misery they create so obviously those safe guards are in place for certain topics

I have this, and it's beautiful.
It's the pride of my tarot collection.
If you're looking for a gift for someone special, and just a wee tad eccentric, in your life, a combined gift of the book with the tarot could make them very happy.
I was reminded recently that many people are unaware that I painted a tarot deck that was published a couple of years ago by Clarkson Potter! The Phantomwise Tarot makes an excellent gift and is available where books or decks are sold, including @bookshop.org 🖤 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I agree, absolutely pointlessly evil, Disabled people pay upfront for these cars that they lease themselves. These are often the only companies that provide the vehicle adaptations required.
More throwing disabled people under the bus.
Pointlessly evil.

Disabled people choose these brands bc they come with a guaranteed replacement vehicle WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU'RE DISABLED.

They pay the difference themselves.

So all you've done is tell disabled CEOs/working disabled people that they have to drive a Kia.

Luxury cars removed from Motability scheme ahead of budget
The programme has been criticised for allowing people with non-visible disabilities to get luxury vehicles as part of their welfare. The chancellor wants to support the British car market with the new...

Many will be pleased to see the back of the awful two-child cap and rape clause, but hard to understand how Reeves was happy to a) keep it going for 16 months and b) see MPs suspended for wanting it ended, if she really thinks it an unconscionable policy

Okay but here me out:

A nighttime library in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, an emotional support library ghost leads you to the books you are looking to find, and midnight croissants are served during every full moon.

To put that these Motability cuts into perspective...

It will save around £300 million.

Latest figures show the DWP has spent over £400 million fighting people on PIP appeals.

Scrap policies that punish Disabled people & stop pretending it's about economic efficiency! #Budget

Absolute Units returns tomorrow! We're back again with the brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social, continuing our conversation about land use under capitalism, colonial agriculture, and divisions between town and country.

Your weather for this evening:
- gloomy skies above will be matched by a greyness in your soul
- a northwesterly wind will bring a sense of longing for lonely castles on shipwrecked shores
- 65% chance of heavy sighing & ennui will continue into tomorrow

So apparently the correct response to shopping centre Santa ringing his bell is not to shout "bring out your dead!"

No sense of humour, some people...

It's never too late to learn something new.
It's never too late to read dusty books of dark magic.
It's never too late to weave a cloak of moss, feathers, and thorns and become the horror that haunts the forest north of town.

Curious how Sophia, (remember a teenager who wasn't on trial), being arrested by EIGHT officers didn't make front page news. She didn't get a supportive statement from the PM or the Free Speech Union for some reason
Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.

Sure, this isn't sinister at all, with an authoritarian government and judges who tend to rule whatever fucking way they dinner party guests suggest over wine without a jury to keep them honest...

The abdominal pain has flared up again.
It never went away, but it did ease off enough that it became just another one of the constantly hurting body parts.
I've also gone up 2 clothes sizes in 3 months without any change to diet or exercise.
Should probably see a doctor but with the one I've got 😐
