Much like the Starmers being gifted 16K worth of fancy clothes and people going "this is normal, it's just how these things are done"

Well, do you not think it fucking shouldn't be? Do you not know how it looks?

Holy shit this sky

A sunset with several layers of clouds over it. There are some huge cumulonimbus clouds, dark with a storm, the edges of which are being lit up bright pink and orange. There are darker cumulus clouds in front, and bright blue skys behind and to the side.

new thing to have to worry about: actual employees you called at a company’s actual number transferring you to a scammer because they trusted search engine AI instead of looking things up through internal resources

Nothing Beats An Epcot Holiday @epcot.bsky.social · 2d

Heck one situation happened where an actual United employee agent transferred a customer to a scammer’s phone number in exactly this manner (Search engine AI showed scam number) and the person handed over their credit card because who would expect that as a fraud vector! Many reasons this can happen

At least another partial explanation for tge decline in reported hate crime.

If one Police for are doing it, there will be others.

SEEN Police Official Open Public Network @seenpoliceuk.bsky.social · 1d

SEEN Police UK state the drop in number of hate crimes against trans people is fraud, as GMP are taken to Judicial Review after a secret policy of refusing to deal with ANY reports of hate crimes against trans people is obtained.

How far does this go? This ‘data’ is shit

The Black Hole is cool, but TRON was the first movie I ever saw on VHS. It was round at my mate's house, right in the middle of the 80s "video nasty" moral panic & my mum went spare

I realise this doesn't necessarily say much for the movie but there wasn't much sci-fi so we took what we could get
