I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Stay in the same room with the food you are cooking (unless it's a six hour slow cooker thing obvs) apparently this isn't apparent to many people.

Local Facebook groups are a window into a horrible aspect of UK public opinion. I'm certain this guy was a fervent campaigner against VAWG before he saw that someone with a non-anglo sounding name had been arrested for SA, but I could be wrong and he's just found a great excuse to be racist...

A useful thread, flypaper for fuck-knuckles keen to display their need to be antisemitic and get blocked. Sad and unfortunate that Rachel's post, which makes a perfectly valid and humane point was even neccesary.
I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology.
And that's without a mass terror event four days ago

(1) anti-woke politics is largely grift aimed at members of the educated class who feel like cultural outliers in their particular milieux; (2) practitioners of anti-woke grift are so generally incompetent at the adult work of running anything that even sympathetic academics eventually peace out
CBS News staffers might want to check into how things are going at their boss’s anti-woke “university” in Austin.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports from Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks. Nevertheless, it is quite a move.

OTD in 1994 The Budapest Memorandum was signed. It remains the most spectacular waste of paper, ink, and geopolitical optimism in the history of humankind.
The deal was simple: Ukraine disarms. Russia, the UK, and the USA promised, in return, to guarantee our security and territorial integrity.

Is saying that the Jews run the world antisemitic or just vigilant? Tune in for next week's episode of "is it racist to be racist"
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

New York, be careful about Mamdami. We Londoners elected a Muslim mayor and now we have a lower murder rate, higher GDP and have air that we can finally breathe.

People will tell you that the left has lost touch with society, but the expected next tory leader is nostalgic for football hooliganism, and the political editor of the Express is calling for MPs to be deported.
