Interesting contribution on AI from the Social Democrats (who support Mícheál Martin accepting the invite to the White House): they say they will draft legislation so that everyone enjoys “copyright-like ownership” of their own image and voice, so as to effectively ban deepfakes by stealth

🚨 NEW: Labour MPs are being flooded with emails sent via an online tool telling them to "hold the line" on Keir Starmer

The calls have started, Keir is gone at the end of the month for sure.
🚨 NEW: Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan has called for Keir Starmer to resign
"We can't just keep going on like this - lurching from one crisis to the next. One of the best ways of resetting is to have a renewal of the Labour Party... and that means changing who's in charge"

I still think it's going to happen after the May elections, but there's like a 20% chance Keir Starmer quits after the Gorton and Denton by-election.

1) Karl Marx was horny for the Union cause, and worte about it constantly during the war.
2) The "libs" of 1861: "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on."

Online Libs & Online Commies hate each other more than actual libs & commies did.
German communist immigrants in the Chicago Arbeiter-Verein organized tirelessly for Lincoln in the 1860 Republican primary, because he was the leftmost viable candidate.
They were right!

The way if Labour just passed PR they could lead a coalition with the Greens and Lib Dems and not have to worry about wipe out but they won’t do it. Shooting yourself in the foot doesn’t even describe this.

By-election latest:
A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton.
They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

pareto improving solution nobody is seeing... stay at home dads
Young men today are widely seen, rightly or wrongly, as a generation adrift. But even if Gen Z men are increasingly cut off from society (a claim some would dispute), there’s one very social endeavor they still want to participate in: having kids.
Generation Dad
Gen Z men are surprisingly excited about parenthood.

I underestimated Keir, he has managed to withstand the pressure... for now.
He's still fucked either way but now only 1% less so.

They're already putting the pressure on Keir to let Burnham run, it's Starmerover, he can't withstand such pressure.

I feel like there would be strategic sense in taking Trump literally more often.
When he threatens tariffs, we play dumb and move fast to retaliate. Then when he climbs down, we drag our feet undoing it. Penalise the US for playing games.
Guessing which threats are real just gives him power.
