Does being in the police service mean unthinking obedience? Taking on an 'us' the cops vs 'them' the people of the country mentality? Perhaps such mindless obedience works in a war zone & even then people with conscience take a stance. Are we at war with our own people? Looks at the findings... 🧵

The Labour Government are still continuing to arm a genocide. They're still locking up pensioners who hold up cardboard signs. And Palestinians are still being murdered every single day. The Green Party will always unapologetically speak the truth. youtu.be/BKC9mSBFpBA?...

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

I am sorry, which company is this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
At Microsoft, which rolled out Al widely internally, executive vice-president Ryan Roslansky recently publicly lamented the prevalence of Al slop in his day-to-day work. After receiving iwhat was clearly an Al-generated doc from a co-worker, he used his Al to summarize it and came away with no new thinking about the idea, he said. He warned his followers against falling into this potential "doom loop", where Al does the reading and writing and leaves behind an "ocean of sameness".
