They're pushing so hard for AI because (when hypothetically fully functional) it allows wealthy access to skill while restricting those with skill from accruing wealth. It uses theft of the past to steal the future from humanity and give its riches to the already rich

One of the great things with just outright saying that Labour are not on the left is that there is no friggin way Starmer would ever dare say “labour is left actually“ lmao thanks zack for finally someone putting this on the record
this interview is full of real bangers, but my favorite one is

'the idea that labour are left is completely incoherent.'
People aren't leaving the Labour Party.

The Labour Party have left them.

Russians started evicting people from apartments in occupied Mariupol, with courts declaring flats "ownerless" if residents missed Russian property registration deadlines or could not return, Andryushchenko reports, calling it state-backed raiding and legalized theft through fake courts.

A Polish judge refused to extradite a Ukrainian citizen to Germany, arguing that if Ukraine carried out a mission to destroy enemy pipelines, such actions would be lawful during a war. The judge emphasized that Ukrainian soldiers, including special forces, cannot be labeled terrorists or saboteurs.
