I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Neuromorphic is dead. Long live neuromorphic
In this NeuroView, Giacomo Indiveri discusses the origins and evolution of neuromorphic engineering, reflects on recent shifts toward digital and AI-centric approaches, and advocates for a revival of the field’s original principles, emphasizing analog, brain-inspired systems and the importance of fundamental neuroscience for future progress.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

As english politics leans even further to the right, with LAB now questioning the EHCR, alongside "Island of Strangers" & pro brexit rhetoric, here's a quick thread on how the Far Right utterly collapsed in Finland.

TL;DR: "r/w voters: I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face".

Before I was born, my grandfather -- who was a machine shop worker that didn't graduate from high school -- became obsessed with computers. He was convinced they were the future. Because of him, I've had & loved using computers my entire life.

And I think the push to live only digitally is TERRIBLE

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’

Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros.

The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president
