French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

Now its even more important that publishers #NameTheTranslator on book covers. If there's no human credited with the translation, readers will now have to assume its slop.

Let's be very clear what's happened: the BMA has been trying to negotiate with the govt for months (when there was no flu epidemic). As late as November the BMA were trying to get round the table & wrote a letter to Wes Streeting. He didn't bother replying.

If they aren’t a registered charity and they aren’t registered with the Fundraising Regulator (example logo below), it’s probably one of these scammy orgs where the ‘profit’ is a tiny fraction of the money you handed over and some bastard gets rich on your good intentions. Give to a real charity.

The Starmer newsletter is on nazi-friendly Substack. Cool, cool. But then again, half of UK journos are also there, so just about right for UK political culture.
