My (Canadian) bf caught SO MUCH SHIT when he dared to say Carney wasn't all that in the lead-up to the crazy Canadian GE a few months back. He got scoffed at til he was covered in gob. Carney fckn sucks. And it sucks that it's yet another country that had the choice of: terrible or very bad.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Passing laws to create new, draconian restrictions on the right to protest - not for the national good but because the government can't admit its proscription of Palestine Action was a mistake and has failed - seems to me a genuine political scandal.

Officers will be able to tell organisers to move demonstrations if protests have caused "repeated disorder".

I watched the ZX Spectrum doc last night - The Rubber Keyed Wonder.

I was surprised to see how many clones there were out in other countries - and made me wonder what would have happened if they'd made that leap to 16bit on the spectrum, rather than give it up to the ST and Amiga

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

This is a great joke, and no doubt funnier than anything that will be allowed on the stage in Riyadh. The only way these comics can redeem themselves is to say something that actually gets them in serious trouble with the authorities. And they’ve literally promised not to.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.
