Good to see a robust response from both a spokesperson for Stand Up to Racism and the X user The Rev. Anton Mittens. Just waiting for a statement from the government now.

Thread: Two different versions of this AI-generated image purporting to show President Trump and his assistant Natalie Harp kissing went viral this week, generating millions of views across multiple platforms. Despite being fake, this wasn't a straightforward AI image to debunk. I'll explain why.

and also, the prevalence of “AI psychosis” accusations is deeply offensive and harmful, and it’s incredibly damning that the people who do this the most are also the supposed “progressive” people who became known for woke scolding casual usage of mental health words like “insane” and “crazy”

Seeing Americans complain that their political discourse is over-influenced by the number of British people on the social media site on which it takes place is...... not something I expected to read today.

I've seen multiple AI haters use expressions like "get them to rethink their life choices" and I'm sorry, who the fuck are you? Are you a pro-bono life coach or are you just a giant cunt on the internet who needs to learn to mind their own fucking business.

“No one asked for AI” is the rhetorical construction of a pure class of people whose opinions matter, and abductively the un-personing of everyone else.

Kind of an interesting discussion, but to me the most interesting question gets ignored, despite being far more interesting than the details of TV programs: why has this culture taken hold to such an extent in America and not anywhere else? (Using the UK as an example)

The best piece I’ve read, because it confronts his mysoginy, racism, and his complexity honestly. Webb claimed “he wasn’t that person”. But he was. “I won’t miss Rod Liddle, but I miss the person he was when the world was different, and I miss that different world.” Hear hear.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Occurring the liminal space between 'true belief' and 'just a edgy joke' is the whole deal for the neo-nazi. That's *why* it so import to aggressively confront the edgy joking, because it's a stalking horse for the Über/Untermenschism.

If the ONS is systematically overestimating inflation, that isn't just a data problem: it causes actual price rises to go higher because lots of bills are linked to the official figures observer.co.uk/news/busines...
The second thing I was struck by was the absence of an April jump in the price data for countries other than the UK. The UK is unusual in having (until recently) indexed mobile and broadband prices to economy-wide inflation. This is part of a broader pattern: rail fares, alcohol duties, water bills and social rents are all mechanically linked to general inflation in some way or another. In many cases, it’s inflation plus an additional amount.
Victoria Clarke, chief UK economist at Santander Corporate and Investment Banking, argues that “the combination of indexation, regulated price formulas, and habit-driven pricing has made inflation a design feature of the UK economy in the post-2022 period”. This feedback loop is one reason why inflation has been stickier, interest rates higher, and expectations of higher inflation more entrenched than elsewhere.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.
A powerful narrative portrait of Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald investigative journalist celebrated for her "Perversion of Justice" series, which exposed the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and led to her 2026 Pulitzer Prize special citation. Brown sits in the heart of a newsroom, leaning forward with her hands clasped over the back of a vibrant lime-green chair. Her expression is steady and resolute, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips. She has shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair and wears a crisp, white short-sleeved linen top. Her look is punctuated by bold, artistic accessories: a long necklace featuring large, multi-colored geometric beads and matching statement earrings. The background is filled with the tools of her trade: Dell computer monitors and large wall-mounted screens displaying blurred news segments, including one featuring her own likeness. The composition is balanced and centered, capturing a mood of quiet authority and tireless determination. This image stands as a tribute to Brown’s historical significance in journalism, marking her as a champion for victims whose reporting forced a global reckoning on power and systemic failure.

It has been more than 48 hours since we first approached the Green Party for comment about Tina Ion. And well over 24 hours since we went to them for further comment on *this* story. We have heard nothing. From their press office, from anyone senior, or from Zack Polanski himself. Nothing.
