Inadvertent honesty from Trump tonight:

"I never thought we'd go into every city and take a really safe city that we've all been living with for years and make them safe... I did get elected for crime but I didn't get elected for what we're doing. This is many many steps above."

It’s deeply troubling that across the globe people acting in bad faith are attempting to poison each nation against each other from within. I hope and pray their efforts will be thwarted.
It hurts my heart that this is happening and that people feel threatened and made to feel unwanted 😞

Brico and Carrefour opt for AI music in their stores: "Artists in Belgium risk losing a quarter of their income"

Pieterjan Huyghebaert (VRT NWS) @pjhuyghebaert.bsky.social · 5d

Brico en Carrefour schakelen over op AI-muziek in hun winkels. Die muziek is rechtenvrij en dus ook goedkoper. Ook andere ketens denken erover na AI-muziek te draaien.

Voor de muzieksector in België betekent die omschakeling een fors inkomstenverlies, waarschuwt auteursrechtenvereniging Sabam.

Trying to make sense of the nonsensical decision to drop the Chinese spying prosecutions

How the positions of neither the CPS nor the government stand up to scrutiny

By me

emptycity.substack.com/p/trying-to-...

The more one knows about this case, the more confusing it becomes.

The CPS insists on further evidence it does not require, and the government insists it could not give that evidence, even though it could.

Neither side makes sense, and together they make no sense absolutely.

ALSO. Badenoch claims China was unequivocally classed as a threat in 2021 review and by MI5 in 2022. So can she please explain why the Chinese Nuclear Group was still involved with the Hinkley nuclear power plant project a full two years later - nine months even after Cash and Berry were arrested? 🤨

Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except:
-he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant
-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
-they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.
