Palantir is a military corporation profiting from genocide and emboldening surveillance of civilians by abusive police forces.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social delivered a letter today to Palantir CEO Alex Karp demanding the end of its contract with the NHS.
Get Palantir out of our NHS- now.

Welsh Labour have had 27 years to deliver all of this, and this hasn't happened. Not once have they brought "fairer funding and stronger powers" to the Senedd, nor expressed any real interest in pushing UK Labour governments for them. The sooner Eluned loses her seat and the election the better.
Wales needs a 'new chapter for devolution' underpinned by fairer funding and stronger powers, the First Minister will say today (22 January) as she sets out an agenda for constitutional reform

As bad as Europe's relationship with America is, spare a thought for the Kurds. They've turned to America for help for decades. Every time they trust America they throw them to the wolves but they don't have any other choice but to turn to them.

Starmer doesn't care about facts like these. You saw yesterday how he treats Greens, he hates them more than Farage. Even if not for that, Starmer and his pals still cling to the old style of politcs whereby you do some of your opponent's policies to weaken their appeal even though it's not working.
24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.
0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Grok is the most aggressive right wing AI ever developed. It's actively designed to be as much of a fascist as human data will allow for. If it's too "woke" for you, then you are part of the problem.

Our history was that of invading countries all over the world and explaining it to the people at home by convincing them that the people we were subjugating were inferior creatures incapable of self-governance. It is *exactly* the same as the US, we just fool ourselves through decorum and smugness.

stop falling for moral panics everyone. it's always bad
Attempts throughout history to limit kids' access to jazz music, comic books, and movies deemed "harmful" have violated the First Amendment and failed to actually protect children.
Now, Congress and state legislatures are running the same playbook to restrict social media access.

Online Safety Bills Are Fueling a New Wave of Internet Censorship
State and federal bills seek to limit minors’ access to social media, but civil liberties advocates warn that the resulting online censorship threatens constitutional rights without delivering real safety.

All this is what happens when an entire society decides that narrow self-interest trumps any sort of concern for other people (or peoples even). That baseline mode of self-absorption will eventually evolve into main character syndrome, and that's exactly why American individualism is cancer.
Americans are so fucking self-absorbed and poisoned with main character syndrome that it makes me sick to think about it, for real. There is no getting around the reality that they live in the Evil Empire's administrative provincial regions. It is on their documents in black and white.
"will europeans hate us even though we're smol beans who didn't vote for him" feels like a really narcissistic discourse even by our unbelievably highly narcissistic standards

So Trump's not invading Greenland, he just wants to buy it but he has this extremely aggressive sales pitch wherein he calls the Danish people ungrateful and tariffs everyone that's against him? And also he's telling NATO they do nothing for Americans?
