I know Silksong is good because it's making me do something I haven't done for a game in so so long where to procrastinate attempting the big scary boss again by doing all the side quests

From the UK govt, not an environmental pressure group:
"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse"
"Serious + Organised Crime will exploit & gain control over scarce resources"
"Conflict + military escalation as groups compete for land, food & water"

The future of work is changing. And we have to evolve with it or fall behind. That's why we're proud to introduce: Serfdom dot AI. Our platform allows SERFs (solo entrepreneur revenue facilitators) to rent affordable housing that they can subsidize by picking up work with Baron, our AI assistant

weird how the solution to unregulated industries is to regulate people instead
Welcome the positive signs coming from Government on this.
Young people should be protected from the clear harms social media pose. Industry has had long enough to get its house in order, and the Online Safety Act doesn’t go far enough.

Many Labour MPs back an Australian led ban on social media for under 16s.
The UK Government should give it full consideration.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

LLM users desperately trying to make ‘LLM shaming’ a thing.
Quite simply: not all of the problems with LLM usage are solvable by individual choice. The correct analogy is not dietary preference but more like driving. You can’t escape the negative effects of cars on society by choosing not to drive.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
thinking about how long leftists were blamed for making twitter inhospitable for MPs who are refusing point blank to leave now it's full of nazis and child porn

Been rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist recently which has been both disquieting and comforting. Genocide is the same as it was when that original manga was written. Illegal warfare and greed, also the same. Hard, heavy, passionate resistance was and still is the right call

Allow me to connect some dots for you:
Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

New releases from the National Archives of government records from 2005 show how ministers and officials reacted uneasily to the implementation of FOI, and how they handled some initial cases - "This is becoming a real problem". What I found in the files: rosenbaum6.substack.com/p/tony-we-ha...
